Kanye West claims he has now changed his attitude about followers of Judaism after a turbulent year that saw the rapper and businessman alienated from a large portion of the American elite due to his bigoted remarks regarding Jewish people.
The Hip-hop artist known as "Ye" claimed that watching Hollywood movie 21 Jump Street has caused him to reconsider his position regarding Jews and Judaism. "Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again," West said on Saturday as he referenced the movie's co-star.

"No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people," West stressed, reminding that in 2022 West said "I love Jewish people, but I also love Nazis," and explained, "I see good things about Hitler also."
And in that vein, the Hip-Hop star unironically stated that "no Christian can be labeled [an] antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew."
Finally West reiterated "Thank you Jonah Hill I love you," attributing his change of heart to the actor once again.
Kanye West will run in the 2024 Us Presidential elections
West, in November of 2022 said that he will run for president of the United States in 2024.
At the time, West was asked by the cameraman in a video interview for the X17online tabloid during a visit to one of his studios if he planned to run for president, and the rapper simply responded, "Yes."
The rapper highlighted “This is Milo [Yiannopoulos, a US media personality famous for his far-right opinions] right here, working on the campaign."
West has been causing controversy over the past year because of his controversial opinions, especially with regard to George Floyd, the BLM movement, and his opinions on Hitler, and Judaism. He was also accused of making a number of anti-semitic remarks. He would later apologize after brands continued to drop him.
Adidas ended an arrangement with the rapper that has produced the popular Yeezy sneakers collection, after succumbing to a weeks-long pressure campaign, following in the path of other businesses that have also severed ties with West.
Famous retailer, Gap, had ended its partnership with West in September. The rapper had recently said in a podcast that he was key to Adidas' success, commenting, “I can say anti-Semitic things and Adidas can’t drop me. Now what?”
Late last year, talent agency giant CAA dropped the rapper, with fashion houses like Balenciaga and banking giant JP Morgan Chase following suit. As a result, his total wealth plunged from a reported $2 billion to approximately $500 million right after the Adidas tie cut.
