Tyler Perry opens up about anti-semitic comments made by Kanye ‘Ye’ West.
Over the past week, the world has seen celebrities, his family, and even business brands disassociate themselves from the rapper after he made racist remarks about the Jewish community. And now, the latest celebrity to speak out against antisemitism and show support for Jews is Perry, who shared her views through a statement on Instagram.

Tyler shared four recent photos, including one showing him in conversation with a white man. However, the image is incomplete without the accompanying caption, which she uses to describe her mother’s work in the Jewish community.
According to the “Madea” star, the first slide is one of her mother, Willie Maxine Perry, with a group of “cute kids she works with at the Jewish community center.”
He recalled how the late activist came home from work one day devastated because there was a bomb threat, and my mother was horrified that someone wanted to blow up a building full of children because they were Jewish. He added that the incident “brought him back to the pain of having to live through the bombing of a church in Alabama where three black girls died.”
Before he died, Willie had taught his son “about slavery but he also taught me about the Holocaust. But in teaching me about all our common pains, he also taught me about the Jewish ally for black people.”
Using the rest of the post to address the long-standing relationship between blacks and Jews in the struggle for civil rights, the publisher wrote:
“Look at the founding members of the NAACP – it needs allies to get us to a better place in this country, and those allies don’t look like us. It was the Jewish allies who were killed in Mississippi trying to help us get the right to vote.
Tyler concluded by stating that he could “fill this post with so many examples” of “his own associates that I work with today that have helped me grow a business that allows me to hire more black people than most businesses in Hollywood. make it alone.”
The post, which has already garnered over 100k likes, came after The Blast reported that Hailey Bieber had taken a stand against Ye via multiple Instagram Story updates. According to the report, the model began by retweeting a message from comedian Amy Schumer with the words, “I support my Jewish friends and Jewish people.”
The 25-year-old took it a step further by coming out for the rapper’s beliefs, writing, “You can’t believe in God and be anti-Semitic. You cannot love God and support or condone hate speech. Loving God is loving people. Everyone.” Although the “Secrets of New York Fashion Week” star avoided mentioning Donda’s founder, fans quickly learned that the message was aimed at her.

The Blast stated that Ye suffered a huge loss after Adidas cut ties with him. The company released a statement on the matter, reading, “After a thorough review, the company has taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end the production of Yeezy-branded products, and stop all payments to Ye and his company. Adidas will discontinue the Adidas Yeezy business effective immediately.”
Turns out, the deal with the multinational accounted for more than a billion dollars of his total net worth. Unfortunately, things didn’t stop there for the “Hurricane” rapper, who also lost his deals with Balenciaga and Gap.
The loss translates to the father-of-four being worth about $400 million – a significant drop from his previous value of $1.3 billion, which includes most of his public assets.
Ye’s finances now come from several sources, such as his music catalog, real estate cash and investments. The 45-year-old still has a 5% stake in his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s Skims brand.
You’ll recall that the drama began shortly after entrepreneur Yeezy created and rocked the controversial “White Lives Matter” shirt, made comments about the death of George Floyd, and tweeted some anti-Semitic thoughts.
