LOLLLLL what are we doing here bro

Vanity Fair: Some will say that, regardless of the truth and tragedy of your diagnosis, this apology is a PR move so that you can release music and operate your businesses in the ways that you used to, without the stigma of people thinking you’re antisemitic. What would you say to them?

Ye: It’s my understanding that I was in the top 10 most listened-to artists overall in the US on Spotify in 2025, and last week and most days as well. My upcoming album, Bully, is currently one of the most anticipated pre-saves of any album on Spotify too. My 2007 album, Graduation, was also the most listened-to and streamed hip-hop album of 2025. This, for me, as evidenced by the latter, isn’t about reviving my commerciality. This is because these remorseful feelings were so heavy on my heart and weighing on my spirit. I owe a huge apology once again for everything that I said that hurt the Jewish and Black communities in particular. All of it went too far. I look at wreckage of my episode and realize that this isn’t who I am. As a public figure, so many people follow and listen to my every word. It’s important that they realize and understand what side of history that I want to stand on. And that is one of love and positivity.

Damn son get em

i just read the apology and was about to forgive him but then i forgot he changed vultures 2 tracklist and now it doesnt go husband into lifestyle into husband anymore and now i cant forgive him ever.......

perhaps tonight tho

Dumb f***

All of the nazi and antisemitic s*** mentally ill self destructive edginess

But one would point out that he got to that place due to diving deep into extreme right wing politics

I do think that comes from him being unstable too tho. Lets not forget hes also veered from born again christian to Yeezy P*** during these years too. Hes been all over the placr

Its not like bruh is a deep thinker with an ideology I think just the fact those far right internet f***s appeal to his natural dumbass edginess and love for outrage and attention

Goat

I will always love that NHH song; I heard a 60s Motown AI rendition the other day and it’s now my main gym song!

The music company Gamma convened an all-hands meeting on Monday to discuss its latest signing: Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, who has alienated both fans and corporate partners in recent years with antisemitic remarks and statements calling slavery "a choice."

Co-founder Larry Jackson said that Gamma agreed to work with the rapper because it believed he was committed to creating music with positive messaging, according to people present. And in a letter addressed "to those I hurt" that ran as an advertisement in The Wall Street Journal on Monday, Ye said he was "not a Nazi" and told the Black community he was "so sorry."

The rapper will put out his next album "Bully" with Gamma on March 20, and the deal is in the mid-to-low seven figures, according to two people familiar with the matter.

This is not the first time that Ye has apologized before a new album. In late 2023, as he prepared to release "Vultures 1," he wrote on Instagram in Hebrew that "I deeply regret any pain I may have caused." Roughly a year later, he took to X to declare "my new sound called antisemitic."

When asked what he hoped to accomplish with his latest apology, Ye referenced Darth Vader's transformation at the end of the

"Star Wars" movie "Return of the Jedi." "He was a villain," Ye said via a spokeswoman, "and came back a hero for good once again before the end."

Gamma declined to provide additional details about its financial arrangement with Ye.

Jackson, who once managed the rapper and also previously worked at Apple Music, launched Gamma in 2023. It provides artists with a variety of services like distribution, marketing, radio promotion and branding opportunities. Investors include Todd Boehly's Eldridge Industries, Apple and Alpha Wave.
