Kanye West had an epiphany while watching "21 Jump Street."
After months of doubling down on his antisemitic views, West is apparently taking back all his offensive comments and thanking Jonah Hill for opening his eyes.
The rapper took to Instagram to announce his change of heart: "No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people."
"No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you."
Although West finally addressed this controversy, it should be noted that he is yet to actually apologize for pushing for antisemitic agenda and sharing antisemitic memes last year.
A Little Too Late?
According to Forbes magazine, West set his career on fire the moment he began sharing his antisemitic sentiments on social media.
He once tweeted that he was going to go "death con 3 on Jewish people." This statement horrified the industry and shocked his fans, who up to that point were steadfast in supporting him.
His years-long partnership with Adidas came to a screeching halt when the sportswear brand announced that it no longer wanted anything to do with the rapper.
In another instance, during an interview with Piers Morgan, he announced that he "loves Hitler," and "likes Nazis."
Soon after, he was pretty much disowned by fashion brands and several other companies that used to work with him.
Forbes estimates that the rapper might have lost millions of dollars after his stunt and that he now has an estimated net worth of $398 million.
According to reports, West was even dropped by his talent agency and the documentary about him was scrapped.
The co-CEOs of MRC Entertainment even issued a statement denouncing West and his political agenda: "Kanye is a producer and sampler of music. Last week he sampled and remixed a classic tune that has charted for over 3000 years - the lie that Jews are evil and conspire to control the world for their own gain. [...] Kanye has now helped mainstream it in the modern era."
Confused
According to Geo TV, the director for "21 Jump Street," Christopher Miller, reacted to West's Instagram post, "um... thanks for watching?"
On the other hand, Hill, who starred alongside Channing Tatum in the comedy-action movie, is yet to release a statement in response to the rapper.
