Kanye West Blames Alcohol for Antisemitic Tweet

Rapper admits to being under the influence during 2022 incident that led to widespread backlash and loss of business deals.

Kanye West revealed he was drinking Hennessy when he posted the antisemitic tweet in October 2022.
The tweet resulted in immediate suspension from social media platforms and severed partnerships with major brands like Adidas and Balenciaga.
West expressed that he didn't disclose his intoxication earlier to avoid discrediting his statements, which he still considered truthful.
In December 2023, West issued an apology to the Jewish community, which has since been deleted.
West continues to face lawsuits and accusations related to his antisemitic behavior.
