Actor responds to Kanye’s ‘bizarre’ post about movie he starred in

  • Jonah Hill has responded to an old Instagram post by Kanye, where the rapper claimed Hill's performance in 21 Jump Street made him "like Jewish people again."
  • Hill, who is Jewish, described Kanye’s 2023 declaration as a "bizarre thing" but expressed continued love for West and hope for his healing.
  • “I felt that he did this bizarre public thing to kind of make up, like, ‘It’s all good cause I love Jonah,’” the Super Bad actor said. “[It] just sat with me in a way that it’s, like, all good. I love him still, and I hope whatever happens, he can heal or whatever, and everyone can heal from all that stuff.”
  • Despite Kanye's controversial remarks, Hill stated he believes Kanye is "probably the greatest artist to ever live" and a genius, while acknowledging the "hate stuff sucks."
  • Hill’s remarks come as a planned headline performance by Kanye at London's Wireless Festival was cancelled after government officials and Jewish leaders condemned the booking.
