Lil Dicky has spoken out in defense of Kanye West and says he does not believe the rapper dislikes Jewish people.
Ye went on several anti-semitic rants against the Jewish community last year and apologized over the holidays before announcing his upcoming album.
“I obviously see all the things. I was, like, surprised. Because I don’t think in his heart Kanye dislikes Jewish people. I know he knows I’m Jewish. I know he likes me. You know what I mean?” said Dicky.
“In my heart, I feel like he probably said something and it was the wrong thing. I’m not denying that he’ll say the wrong thing often. I think he might have said the wrong thing, people got outraged. I think the thing that he can’t stand the most is when people tell him what he can or cannot say. He leaned into it. And that’s the reality. Now, I don’t think you should be leaning into it,” he continued.
Reports have been circulating online that Ye is planning to release a 40-minute apology to the Jewish community ahead of his album release. Ye has not confirmed the reports.
