Kanye West recently met with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto to express remorse for his past anti-Semitic comments and open up about his experience living with bipolar disorder.

In a recent meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, Kanye West sought to take accountability for his past anti-Semitic remarks, expressing a desire to make amends and rebuild trust with the Jewish community. “I really just appreciate you embracing me with open arms and allowing me to make amends,” Ye told the Rabbi during their conversation.

This meeting marks a turning point for the rapper, who has faced intense backlash over his past comments — including his 2022 tweet stating, “I’m going death con 3 on Jewish people,” and his 2025 post claiming, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler.” Both incidents drew widespread condemnation from civil rights groups and public figures.

Ye also opened up about his bipolar disorder, discussing the challenges of living with the condition while in the public eye. His willingness to address both his mental health and past behavior reflects an effort toward growth and self-awareness — something that’s been a long time coming for the artist.

Meanwhile, artists like Yung Lean have recently spoken out about their own distance from Ye, acknowledging both his creative genius and his struggles with mental health, underscoring how complex his redemption journey continues to be.
