The disgraced rapper, 48, made the bizarre declaration in 2023<\/a>, adding that \u201cno one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew,\u201d West wrote at the time. \u201cThank you Jonah Hill I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n Hill, 42, who is Jewish and starred in the 2012 action comedy alongside Channing Tatum<\/a>, reacted to the \u201cGold Digger\u201d artist\u2019s past remarks during a recent appearance on the Zane Lowe Show.<\/p>\n \u201cI felt that he did this bizarre public thing to kind of make up, like, \u2018It\u2019s all good cause I love Jonah,\u2019\u201d the Super Bad actor said. \u201c[It] just sat with me in a way that it\u2019s, like, all good. I love him still, and I hope whatever happens, he can heal or whatever, and everyone can heal from all that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier in the interview, Hill said he thinks West is \u201cprobably the greatest artist to ever live.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think there is no artist I probably love more across any genre ever,\u201d he said, later insisting, \u201cHe\u2019s a genius, and the stuff with the hate stuff sucks. What are you going to say? It sucks, no matter who you are, to hear that. Now, do I know what\u2019s going on? No. Am I going to punch someone while they\u2019re down? No, of course not.\u201d<\/p>\n The Independent has contacted West\u2019s representative for comment. <\/p>\n West has faced significant backlash in recent years for making repeated antisemitic remarks<\/a>. In 2024, he wrote on X that he was going \u201cdeath con 3 on Jewish<\/a> people.\u201d He later claimed he was \u201cdrunk\u201d when he shared the post. <\/p>\n His hate speech has led to multiple bans from Instagram and Twitter (now known as X), as well as the loss of brand partnerships with Adidas and Balenciaga and his removal from talent agency CAA.<\/p>\n In January, the rapper took out an open letter in The Wall Street Journal <\/a>apologizing for his antisemitism and blaming his outbursts on the side effects of a brain injury, as well as his bipolar disorder.<\/p>\n The rapper is currently on a comeback tour, following the release of his latest album, Bully. This summer, he was expected to headline London\u2019s three-day Wireless Festival, a decision that was condemned by government officials and Jewish leaders, leading several brands to drop their sponsorship<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Jonah](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Jonah-Hill-and-Kanye-West.png\")
