== Background ==
The two have been longtime friends and collaborators. When West announced his 2020 United States presidential election campaign in July 2020, Ty$ gave public support. Since 2022, West had went on antisemitic tirades, which gained widespread criticism and losing partnership deals with Adidas, Gap, restrictions on social media, and people cutting ties with the rapper.Reuters, Thomson (December 26, 2023). "Kanye West Apologizes to Jewish Community for Antisemitic Remarks". CBC. In December 2023, only around a week after a rant about Zionists and giving praise to Adolf Hitler, he posted an apology to social media on December 26th, in Hebrew, which Ty$ reposted to his Instagram story in support. West's post is translated as follows:
I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for my unplanned outbursts caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future.
Your forgiveness is important to me and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.
The organization and advocacy group, Anti-Defamation League (ADL), told CNN, "After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt. Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome."Saunders, Angel (December 26, 2023).
