Story

In a controversial interview released by Candace Owens, Kanye West, also known as Ye, made inflammatory remarks linking Jews to his mental health struggles and comparing abortion to the Holocaust. The interview, which Owens claims was suppressed by her former employer, highlights West's continued use of antisemitic rhetoric that has previously led to severed ties with major brands like Adidas and Twitter. West's comments have reignited discussions about his mental health, particularly following his hospitalization. During the interview, West asserted that he had researched the "Jewish abortion rate" and made the unfounded claim that half of Black deaths were due to abortion. He controversially stated, “I want you to go to our Holocaust Museum, Planned Parenthood,” equating the Holocaust's six million Jewish victims to the over 20 million Black abortions. He also attributed his bipolar diagnosis to a "Jewish doctor" and accused a "Jewish trainer" of leaking his medical information, which he claims led to his hospitalization. West further attempted to justify his previous antisemitic tweets, including a notorious "death con 3 on Jewish people" remark, by attributing them to alcohol consumption. In a surprising turn, he also commented on Vice President Kamala Harris, initially expressing admiration before criticizing her association with the Black Lives Matter movement, suggesting that she does not represent the aspirations of Black Americans. The interview has drawn significant backlash, raising concerns about the impact of West's statements on public discourse and mental health awareness.
