This apology comes after a series of contentious incidents involving West, including the dissemination of antisemitic conspiracy theories to Fox News host Tucker Carlson and making threats of violence against Jews on social media. These actions resulted in consequences for his career, including the loss of his billionaire status after Adidas ended their relationship with him due to the refusal to tolerate hate speech.

Adidas has launched an internal inquiry into West in response to allegations of inappropriate conduct in the workplace. Furthermore, West was recently recorded singing along to an antisemitic track with R&B singer Chris Brown, further intensifying the criticism against him.

This is not the first occasion where West has come under fire for his antisemitic actions, as he previously had his contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga terminated due to his rants on social media. His Twitter and Instagram accounts were also restricted following antisemitic outbursts.
