Actor Seth Rogen and The Daily Show host Jon Stewart have publicly condemned Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, for his attempts at a music comeback following a series of repeated antisemitic remarks in recent years. West has previously apologized for these comments, attributing them to a brain injury. Rogen, hosting his 'Seth Goes Greek for Hilarity for Charity' event as part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival in Los Angeles, shared his strong disapproval.

During his event, Rogen humorously noted, "What’s funny is I’ve said critical things about Jewish people; I think I got in more trouble than Kanye West did." He added, "I got a lot of s–t for what I said. I have no No. 1 albums. I sometimes think what Adolf Hitler would think of the Kanye West song ‘Heil Hitler.’ I bet he’d be torn." His remarks specifically targeted West's controversial "Heil Hitler" song, highlighting the severity of Ye's statements.

Jon Stewart, who also hosted 'Night of Too Many Stars', echoed Rogen's sentiments, further condemning Ye for his previous comments about Adolf Hitler. Stewart emphatically stated, "But seriously, f–k that guy." He criticized West's past assertions, saying, "He was like, ‘Hitler was misunderstood, we’ve got to forgive Hitler.’ And I’m like, I don’t think I need to listen to anybody who thinks Hitler needs to be forgiven but is still mad at Pete Davidson.”

Ye's recent public appearances included a stop at Dave Chappelle’s comedy show on May 3, ahead of Chappelle's own Netflix festival engagements. Musically, Ye launched his "Bully" album in March, which impressively debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. He also made a return to the U.S. stage with a pair of shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in early April. However, despite his stated hopes for forgiveness and a full-page apology to the Jewish community published in The Wall Street Journal on January 26—where he admitted to praising Hitler and releasing shirts with swastika graphics—his comeback attempts have been met with substantial backlash.

The embattled rapper faced significant hurdles in scheduling international shows. He was slated to headline London’s Wireless Fest, but the event was canceled due to the U.K. denying him a travel visa. Furthermore, a gig in France was postponed after considerable opposition, and another planned show in Poland was ultimately canceled, underscoring the ongoing controversy surrounding his public image and past remarks.
