"Ye turned to print for his latest apology for past antisemitic remarks and merchandise, linking the actions to a past 2002 injury. The popular artist formerly known as Kanye West took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal's section A - a page that typically goes for a five-figure sum. The Monday ad - one of the artist's longest at over 700 words - addressed 'Those I've Hurt'."
"In the apology, Ye attributed his erratic public statements - including antisemitic remarks and Swastika merchandise - to what he described as an undiagnosed brain injury from a 2002 car accident. The rapper said the crash left him with a shattered jaw and damage to the right frontal lobe of his brain. While doctors treated his visible injuries at the time, Ye said the neurological damage wasn't properly addressed."
