Seth Rogen talks about Kanye West? We know you’re wondering why.
Well, the Pam & Tommy actor/comedian is Jewish, if you weren’t aware, and he recently had something to say about West’s retraction of his previous anti-Semitic comments.
This month, the “Donda” rapper claimed on his Instagram account that Jonah Hill’s performance in 21 Jump Street triggered him to “like Jewish people again,” and Rogen quipped that he can assume “slight ownership” of the lyricist’s assertion that his anti-Semitism has decreased.
When told about Ye’s social media post, Rogen, who in an interview was promoting his forthcoming flick The Super Mario Bros. Movie, started cracking up. Then he confessed that he contributed some of the humor to the 2012 comedy featuring fellow trouper Channing Tatum and Hill (who was brought up Jewish).
“You know what? [Jonah Hill] can have it. Happy to be left out of that one. But you know what? Good! Cured! They should send that movie around the world, let everyone watch it!” the Knocked Up star joked.
Rogen furthered: “I wrote some jokes for that movie, so I feel slight ownership.”
Seth Rogen Talks About Kanye West ‘Liking Jewish People Again’
Roughly four months after praising the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Yeezy looked to reconsider his anti-Semitism last Saturday.
“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again. No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people,” Ye shared on his social media.
The “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” hitmaker threw in: “No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew.”
Mr. West ended his post, “Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.”
Several businesses, including The Gap and Balenciaga, swiftly responded to West’s anti-Semitic whirl by ending their associations and lucrative brand agreements with the controversial rhymer.
