Ye, best known as Kanye West, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential hip-hop musicians and producers of all time, as well as one of the most controversial musicians of his generation.
What did Kanye West say?
Ye had tweeted, “I’m going death con 3 on Jewish people,” after posting a text exchange with Sean “Diddy” Combs on Instagram suggesting that Combs didn’t support Ye’s recent actions because he was being controlled by Jewish people. Both posts have been deleted.
“There should be no tolerance anywhere for West’s anti-Semitism,” Emmanuel wrote, according to Deadline. “This is a moment in history where the stakes are high and being open about our values, and living them, is essential. Silence and inaction are not an option.”
Ye’s response to Emmanuel was captioned “love speech.”
“I lost 2 billion dollars in one day and I’m still alive,” Ye wrote. “This is love speech. I still love you. God still loves you. Money is not who I am. The people are who I am.”
