Overview
- Video from a Nov. 4 meeting shows Ye telling Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto he seeks accountability and a path to repair, after which the rabbi offered a blessing and embraced him.
- Ye described bipolar disorder as driving his past outbursts and said the process now is to clean up the harm, calling the conversation a first step toward rebuilding.
- A commentary by a Harvard-trained psychiatrist on Aish.com called the encounter encouraging yet insufficient without a public plan to prevent repeat offenses and tangible efforts to counter antisemitism.
- Reaction remains divided, with some questioning sincerity and noting Ye posted a Mexico City concert advertisement about two hours before resharing the meeting video.
- Coverage situates the meeting within Ye’s record that includes a 2022 “death con 3” post and Nazi-themed content in 2025, and notes Pinto’s profile as Morocco’s chief rabbi and his 2016 bribery jail term.
