Internet doubts Kanye West's apology over antisemitic rant as 'he just wants to release his album'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Controversial rapper and businessman Kanye West, who has been under fire for his shocking antisemitic remarks since last year, has finally stepped forward to mend his relationship with the Jewish community.
The rapper has extended an apology in an attempt to rectify the damage caused by his comments.
While the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has 'welcomed' Ye's apology, it has also maintained a prudent approach, emphasizing that "actions speak louder than words."
Despite this, the internet remains skeptical. As the ADL "welcomes' West's apology, netizens continue to question the sincerity behind his words.

West on Tuesday, December 26, posted his apology, penned in Hebrew, on his Instagram.
"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended 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," the 'Runaway' star wrote.
Ye 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."
But, the Internet seems skeptical even after ADL "welcomes" the rapper's apology.
An X (formerly Twitter) user tweeted, "I mean the people he mainly hurt with his words are diaspora Jews, who can’t read this so… I don’t know this is just weird to me."
Another user doubted, "I wouldn't trust it. He's going to repeat the same behavior. Give it like up to a year."
"Yeah go right ahead but remember what you said ‘Slavery is a choice’," remarked one person.
"Let's see how Kanye follows through with what he said," stated another.
"he just wants to release his album," mentioned another.
