- Ye, formerly Kanye West, apologized "to the Jewish community" on Tuesday.
- Earlier outbursts, which included saying "I like Hitler," led brands to cut ties with the rapper.
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has apologized to "the Jewish community" in a post written in Hebrew and published on his Instagram after a series of antisemitic outbursts.
The rapper made several antisemitic statements last year, including saying he'd go "death con 3 on Jewish people" and telling conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, "I like Hitler."
The outbursts prompted many brands to cut ties, including Adidas, which ended its collaboration to sell Yeezy sneakers.
His comments were widely condemned at the time, including by his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who did not name him but said in a tweet that she stood with the Jewish community.
Earlier this month, Ye was filmed railing against people he accused of being behind his downfall and saying, "Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye," according to Rolling Stone.
His apology, published on Tuesday morning, does not mention any specific statement or incident.
"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community," West wrote, adding he did not intend "to hurt or demean."
"I deeply regret any pain I may have caused," he said, adding he was committed "to learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding."
He continued: "Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
The title track on Ye's latest album, "Vultures" references his earlier comments with the lyric: "How I'm antisemitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch."
