Ye apologizes in WSJ ad, denies Nazi label, cites bipolar disorder and brain injury

Kanye West (Ye) published a full-page apology in the Wall Street Journal for antisemitic behavior, asserting he is not a Nazi and loves Jewish people. He ties his actions to bipolar-1 disorder linked to a 2002 frontal-lobe injury and a four-month manic episode in 2025, saying he lost touch with reality and even sold swastika-themed merch and released a Heil Hitler song. He pledges accountability, treatment, and meaningful change, thanks wife Bianca Censori for support, and notes his album Bully remains delayed as he focuses on positive art; he also apologizes to the Black and Jewish communities and provides mental health resources.
