Video Circulating Online Shows Kanye West Meeting Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, Apologizing for Antisemitic Remarks

NEW YORK – A video currently making the rounds on social media reportedly shows Kanye West—who recently faced backlash for antisemitic statements—meeting with Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto. In the footage, West is heard saying:

“I’m taking accountability for my recent antisemitic statements, attributing it to bipolar disorder. I really just appreciate you embracing me with open arms and allowing me to make amends.”

The meeting appears to be a private, in‑person conversation, though the exact date, time and full context of the encounter have not yet been verified by independent sources. Rabbi Pinto, who leads the global Shuva Israel network, is seen listening attentively in the video, but his office has not issued a formal statement confirming the encounter or the remarks.

Social media users are already reacting strongly to the clip: some praise West for taking responsibility and acknowledging his actions, while others remain skeptical about his attribution of his remarks to bipolar disorder and question whether the meeting represents a sincere turnaround or a public relations maneuver.

Given the seriousness of West’s past statements and the sensitivity around his public comments, this video could mark a significant moment—if authentic—in his attempt at amends. Verification remains pending, and fact‑checking organizations have yet to publish a definitive confirmation of the video’s authenticity.
