In the past week, Ye has spread some of the most vile and age-old stereotypes about Jews to his hundreds of millions of followers.
There should be no place for this kind of hate in our public discourse.
We support every entertainer's right to free speech, but no one has a free pass to target and demonize a minority group with such malice.
We are gravely concerned about the impact of Ye's statements - and how they will affect his fans, particularly young people.
At the same time, we hope this can be a moment that ultimately creates better awareness about the dangers of antisemitism for Ye, his fans, and other entertainers.
We remain open to dialogue with him about how harmful and fallacious his comments are. (Kanye West)
