Whether or not West is being genuine regarding liking Jewish people again, much of his damage has already been done: In February, the Anti-Defamation League released a document of dozens of acts of vandalism, harassment and intimidation organized under the “Ye is right” slogan. After threatening to go “death con 3 on Jewish people,” several companies cut ties with West including JP Morgan Chase, CAA, Vogue, Balenciaga and, most notably, Adidas, who terminated their billion-dollar deal with the rapper. Since then, he has accused the “Jewish media” of censoring him and having an agenda against him. West sparked the stream of controversy at his Yeezy fashion show in October when he wore a “ White Lives Matter” shirt.
