 UK ministers reviewing Ye’s entry amid backlash over London festival headlining

In a full-page advertisement titled “To Those I’ve Hurt,” he stated, “I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” adding that he was “deeply mortified” by his previous actions and committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change.
