Famous American rapper Kanye West has again issued a public apology over his past anti-Semitic remarks, attributing his outbursts to a long-undiagnosed brain injury.
The apology, titled “To Those I Have Hurt,” was published in the print edition of The Wall Street Journal on Monday. The message, signed by West, was listed as a paid publication by his brand, Yeezy, according to Daily Mail.

In the statement, the singer traced his controversial behaviour to injuries sustained in a car accident about 25 years ago.
He explained that the crash broke his jaw and caused damage to the right frontal lobe of his brain, an injury he said was not properly diagnosed at the time.
“25 years ago, I was in a car accident that broke my jaw and caused injury to the right frontal lobe of my brain. No comprehensive scans were done as at the time, neurological exams were limited,” West said.
He added that the failure to identify the injury earlier had a lasting impact on his mental health and eventually led to his bipolar type-1 diagnosis, which was properly confirmed in 2023.
New Daily Prime reports that the apology comes nearly three years after the Jewish advocacy group StopAntisemitism rejected an earlier apology issued by the rapper over similar remarks.
