Ye, the rapper who was formerly known as Kanye West and has a long history of making antisemitic remarks, is apologizing to the Jewish community with a message written in Hebrew.
曾被稱為坎耶·韋斯特的說唱歌手坎耶在發(fā)表反猶言論方面有著悠久的歷史,他用希伯來語寫了一條信息,向猶太社區(qū)道歉。
In a statement posted to social media Tuesday, Ye wrote that it was "not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused." He added, "I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity."
坎耶在周二發(fā)布在社交媒體上的一份聲明中寫道,“我無意冒犯或貶低,我對我可能造成的任何痛苦深感遺憾。”他補充說:“我致力于從自己開始,從這次經歷中學習,以確保將來更敏感和理解。你們的原諒對我來說很重要,我致力于彌補,促進團結。”
Ye, 46, became embroiled in controversy last year when he made a series of antisemitic comments, including a tweet about going "death con 3 on Jewish people" following backlash over a "White Lives Matter" shirt he wore during Paris Fashion Week. He also insinuated that Sean "Diddy" Combs was controlled by Jewish people and echoed more antisemitic conspiracy theories in a Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson, and said that he loved Nazis and Hitler in conversation with right-wing fabulist Alex Jones.
去年,46歲的坎耶因發(fā)表了一系列反猶言論而陷入爭議,其中包括一條關于“猶太人的死亡騙局”的推文,此前他在巴黎時裝周上穿的一件“白人的命也是命”襯衫遭到強烈反對。他還暗示,“吹牛老爹”肖恩·庫姆斯被猶太人控制,并在??怂剐侣勵l道接受塔克·卡爾森采訪時呼應了更多的反猶陰謀論,他還在與右翼寓言作家亞歷克斯·瓊斯的談話中表示,他喜歡納粹和希特勒。
Companies including Adidas, Balenciaga, and Creative Artists Agency cut ties with Ye in response, and a documentary about the rapper from studio MRC was shelved.
阿迪達斯、巴黎世家和創(chuàng)意藝人經紀公司等公司作為回應,切斷了與坎耶詩文的合作關系,MRC工作室制作的一部關于這位說唱歌手的紀錄片也被擱置。
On Tuesday, the Anti-Defamation League cautiously welcomed Ye's apology. "After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt," the organization said in a statement. "Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome."
周二,反誹謗聯(lián)盟謹慎地歡迎坎耶的道歉。該組織在一份聲明中說:“他利用自己巨大的影響力和平臺,用惡毒的反猶太主義和仇恨毒害了無數(shù)人的思想,造成了難以估量的傷害。在向猶太社區(qū)和所有他傷害過的人道歉的漫長旅程中,用希伯來語道歉可能是第一步。”“最終,行動勝于雄辯,但這種最初的懺悔行動是受歡迎的。”
Ye's apology comes ahead of the release of his next album, Vultures, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign set to drop Jan. 12. The title track, released last month, features lyrics from Ye about how he can't be antisemitic because he "f---ed a Jewish" woman.
坎耶的道歉是在他與Ty Dolla $ign合作的新專輯《Vultures》發(fā)行之前發(fā)表的,這張專輯將于1月12日發(fā)行。上個月發(fā)布的主打歌中,坎耶說他不能成為反猶主義者,因為他“操了一個猶太”女人。
