Kanye West, who has drawn criticism for his online antisemitic comments, appeared to have addressed them when he posted a heartfelt message on his return to Instagram on Saturday, saying that Jonah Hill had helped him “respect Jewish people again.”
Due to his contentious online comments against Jews, the 45-year-old American rapper lost his brand agreements with Adidas and Balenciaga in late 2022 and was banned from Instagram and Twitter.
Following his return, West uploaded the movie poster for “21 Jump Street,” in which Hill and Channing Tatum featured in 2012, along with the message, “Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street made me like Jewish people again.”
“No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labelled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.” Ye added

Ye, Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband, has had more than enough trouble lately after posting a number of antisemitic remarks online that resulted in his being dropped by a lot of businesses, banned from a number of social media platforms, and generally shunned for his position.
Kanye gave the impression of admitting that Jonah Hill’s action movie had either convinced him otherwise or at least caused him to have yet another bizarre outburst.
