Kanye West claims he's ‘done with antisemitism' — weeks after releasing song praising Hitler
'I am done with antisemitism,' wrote Ye, just two weeks after sparking disgust with a song called 'Heil Hitler' and selling swastika T-shirts.
'I love all people. God forgive me for the pain I've caused. I forgive those who have caused me pain. Thank you God.'

Ye did not directly link his apparent change of heart to the horror at the cold-blooded slayings of Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, as the Israeli Embassy employees left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum the previous night.
Instead, he suggested it was because he 'simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again…'
The Anti-Defamation League said it wasn't 'buying' West's apology.

'We've seen this kind of attempted apology from Kanye before, only for him to back down over and over again,' a spokesperson for the ADL told Billboard.
'As the Jewish community mourns the deaths of two individuals outside of a Jewish Museum in yet another horrific antisemitic attack, it's going to take a lot more than a couple of tweets to repair the damage of his antisemitic speech.'
Since 2022, West, who now goes by Ye, has made scores of antisemitic remarks — triggering global backlash and the loss of major business partnerships.

His controversies started when he threatened to go 'death con 3 on Jewish people' on social media, followed by a series of bizarre interviews in which he praised Hitler and spout conspiracy claims about Jews controlling media and finance.
Ye's antisemitic posts and remarks continued through 2023 and 2024, including statements downplaying the Holocaust.
In February, he posted on social media 'I LOVE HITLER.'
He then released 'Heil Hitler' on May 8, and has also sold T-shirts with big swastikas on the front — regularly justifying jis hate as art.

Chris Martin defends keeping Coldplay kiss cam in shows after Astronomer CEO ‘debacle'
Chris Martin isn't changing a thing. During a 'Music of the Spheres World Tour' stop at Craven Park in Kingston upon Hull, England, on Monday, the Coldplay frontman joked about last month's Jumbotron 'debacle' that outed Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR exec Kristin Cabot. 'We are so happy to be here,' Martin, 48, began during the Aug. 18 concert, per NME. 'Many of you have written signs. So, I'll take some time to try and read some signs.
