Kanye West is back on Instagram. With his first post, it appears the 45-year-old is feeling prepared to make amends with the Jewish community. Throughout much of 2022, he shared several anti-Semitic sentiments on social media, resulting in his ban from various platforms. Aside from getting the boot on Twitter and Instagram, Ye also lost out on several of his biggest brand deals. Among them was one with Adidas that’s rumoured to be picking back up after their public fallout late last year.
Upon being cancelled, West retreated from the public eye for some time. This left some former associates and followers concerned that he may have even gone missing. As rumours continued to swirl, it was revealed that he and Australian architect Bianca Censori have tied the knot. The couple has since been seen out and about in California, shopping, spending time with Ye’s oldest daughter, North West, and hitting up theme parks, among other things. From the sounds of his latest Instagram post, the “Flashing Lights” hitmaker has also been spending time re-watching classic comedy films from the last decade – more specifically, 21 Jump Street seems to have struck a chord with him.
21 Jump Street Leaves Ye Feeling Inspired
On Friday (March 25), the father of four’s feed lit up with a screenshot of the Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum-led 2012 movie. Apparently, it was watching the former comedian in 21 Jump Street recently that made West “like Jewish people again.” He later added, “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labelled antisemite knowing Jesus is [a] Jew.”
He concluded his message with, “Thank you Jonah Hill, I love you.” Since arriving late last night, Kanye West’s post has already received upwards of 1.6M double taps, plus countless comments reacting to the Atlanta-born artist’s sudden change of heart. “I always knew Jonah Hill would save Kanye,” one person joked. “Waking up to this is truly incredible…” another added.
