Rapper Kanye West has been open about his antisemitic views on his X channel. The rapper had previously been "sued and banned" by his talent agency, 33 & West, in February following his X ramblings. Additionally, his brand's products were also removed from Shopify after his antisemitic remarks. In a recent series of posts, West made new claims about his belief system.
A screengrab was shared by X user (@Kurrco) that revealed his claims on May 22. He wrote,
"God forgive me for the pain I've caused. I love all people. I am done with antisemitism."
The ramblings continued on his X channel, and he claimed that he had forgiven those "who have caused" him "pain." He dropped a few other posts, claiming that he also had a recent conversation with his children. He said,
"I simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again…"
The claims come after the rapper released the song, Heil Hitler on May 8.
