Peter Rosenberg Calls Cap On Kanye West’s Apology Written In Hebrew
Kanye West recently apologized to the Jewish community for his latest anti-semitic rant, and attempted to make it an especially personal one by writing it in Hebrew. Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg doubts Ye had any sincere intent in doing this.
“I wonder what the sample is that Kanye needs to try to clear before Friday,” the Cheap Heat host told TMZ Live. “We all know Kanye notoriously is late with handling album stuff and I just wonder whether there was something getting held up and someone said ‘Hey, this sample does not get cleared if he does not issue an apology.'”
Rosenberg speculated that the apology may have been written on the A.I. service ChatGPT. “I totally agree, by the way, that the Hebrew part was so either, like, intentionally or unintentionally offensive as if like American Jews can just read Hebrew without vowels,” he said. “Like, bro, it’s just another offensive thing here. One thing we know about Kanye, he’s many things. Inauthentic is not one of them and that comment was so inauthentic that it lets you know it couldn’t actually be from him.”
Rosenberg continued his rant, talking about West’s comments about Adolf Hitler and how it differs from Michael Jackson’s “Sue Me, Jew Me” moment. “This Kanye West Jew/Hitler obsessions guys, we’re talking about multiple years now,” Rosenberg said. “Honestly, the sad thing is, I don’t think there’s an apology out there that could make people feel better and forget about this.”
Ye took to Instagram on Tuesday (Dec. 26) to share his apology written in Hebrew. Translated, it read “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for my unplanned outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused.”
He also claimed that he wanted to better understand other communities, learn from this experience, “make amends” and promote “unity” as forgiveness is important to him. This came just a few weeks after his rant in Las Vegas where he mentioned Donald Trump, Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler, and himself as a “third party” worth sponsoring.
