Kanye West Says He ‘Likes Jewish People Again’ After Watching 2012 Buddy Cop Comedy
After a tumultuous year which saw the rapper and mogul isolated from much of the US elite as a result of his antisemitic statements about Jewish people, West says he’s finally changed his mind about followers of Judaism.
Hip-hop icon Kanye West raised eyebrows again Saturday after stating on social media that since watching the 2012 police comedy 21 Jump Street, he’s begun to like Jews once more.
"Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again," the rapper wrote in an Instagram post published Saturday, in a reference to the film’s Jewish co-star.
"No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people," insisted West, who now legally goes by the abbreviated moniker "Ye."
On the other hand, "no Christian can be labeled [an] antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew," he continued.
"Thank you Jonah Hill I love you," the post concluded.
