In 2018, Hill praised West after attending his album release party in Wyoming on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
“It was really a beautiful experience,” she said, before noting that her sister Beanie Feldstein didn’t speak to her for a week for supporting West, who had sparked controversy for wearing a Make America Great Again hat.
Last year, the artist received substantial backlash for writing in a tweet: “I’m a little sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going to die with 3 over the JEWISH PEOPLE.”

In October, he sat down with Piers Morgan and addressed the Jewish community, before doubling down on some of his antics.
‘I’ll say I’m sorry for the people I hurt with the ‘death scam’ [comments]’ Ye said on the show with the British talk show host.

“No one should get angry with one or two individuals and turn it into hate towards millions of innocent people,” he told his 18 million followers.
West continued: “I’m sorry that I caused pain and confusion. And I’m sorry to the families of the people who had nothing to do with the trauma that I had gone through, and that I used my platform where you say they hurt people. I was hurt. .’
The rapper and clothing designer said on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he was only referring to certain Jews who he thinks have screwed him up.
Morgan pressed Ye on whether his anti-Semitic comments were racist, and he says they were, though at one point, the rapper says “it’s not racism” when questioned about his comments.
“When you insult the Jewish people and say you’re ‘death with 3’ against the Jewish people, that’s just as racist as anything you say you’ve been through,” Morgan said. ‘Racism is racism and you know what I think. It is not like this?
At the time of his initial tweets, West claimed that he couldn’t be anti-Semitic because all black people are also Jews.

“The funny thing is that I can’t really be anti-Semitic because black people are also Jews. You guys have played me and tried to fool anyone who opposes your agenda,” Kanye insisted.
The rapper’s Twitter account was later suspended.
In a statement, Twitter confirmed that West was banned from his account.
In the interview, Ye clarified that he wanted to apologize to the Jews who did nothing wrong. West’s comments were specifically directed at Jewish Hollywood executives over his treatment of black entertainers.
