"So, this right here is a celebration and a victory, and a success story of people who have dealt with mental health crises. ”"To be able to come out of it and have No. 1 records, with all the things that were done, with all the things that were said, for you guys to be so forgiving and so supportive just means the world to me," he added. Ye's mental health episode seems to have played out on social media last year, when he went on X and began a months-long tirade, which included more anti-Semitic ramblings, Hitler support, Naz praise, KKK garb, offensive posts about his peers and more. Though he has apologized and tried ot atone, Ye is still dealing with the repercussions of his actions. He has had several European concerts canceled.
