Kanye West Apologized for Past Behavior in January

Kanye West claimed he 'lost touch with reality' after a brain injury that went 'unnoticed' for years.
West apologized for his former erratic behavior in an open letter published in The Wall Street Journal earlier this year.
The "Good Life" singer explained that his struggles with his mental health stemmed from a brain injury that went "unnoticed" for years, causing him to "lose touch with reality."
“Bipolar disorder comes with its own defense system. Denial. When you’re manic, you don’t think you’re sick. You think everyone else is overreacting,” he wrote. “You feel like you’re seeing the world more clearly than ever, when in reality you’re losing your grip entirely.”
Kanye West Apologized to the Jewish Community

Kanye West sold out two shows in Los Angeles earlier this month.
West also addressed his antisemitic and politically-laced rants on social media.
“One of the difficult aspects of having bipolar type-1 are the disconnected moments — many of which I still cannot recall — that led to poor judgment and reckless behavior that oftentimes feels like an out-of-body-experience,” West wrote. “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change. It does not excuse what I did though. I am not a N--- or an antisemite. I love Jewish people.”
West has been riding a comeback wave, selling out two Los Angeles shows this month and generating approximately $33 million.
However, the love isn't universal, as West's upcoming performances at a U.K. music festival were canceled after the British government denied his request to enter the country.
