Kanye West has admitted that his comments against Jewish people were racist in an interview with Piers Morgan.

Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored today (19 October), a clip of the interview where Kanye West addressed his comments about Jewish people was shared online.

The rapper had previously said he would go 'death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE' on Twitter, a move which got him banned from the social media site.

He'd also been kicked off Instagram for saying: "Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me."

In the wake of his comments, a Holocaust museum invited Kanye for a visit so he could better educate himself.

Kanye then doubled down on his anti-semitic remarks, claiming he was 'glad' he'd been banned from the social media sites and said he was 'happy to have crossed the line'.

Later on in the interview, Kayne offered up an apology for the 'hurt and confusion' he caused with his comments.

He said: "You know I will say I'm sorry for the people that I hurt with the 'defcon', the confusion that I caused.

"I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I'm sorry for the families of the people that had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through, and I used my platform where you say hurt people."

The rapper said he thought Floyd had instead died of fentanyl, a conclusion he reached after watching a documentary made by Candace Owens.

UNILAD have contacted a representative for Kanye West for comment.
