Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, apologized for antisemitic remarks he made in the past and said a brain injury he suffered in a car accident 25 years ago led to his bipolar disorder diagnosis.
In a full-page ad in the print edition of Monday's Wall Street Journal, Ye said the right frontal lobe of his brain was injured in the accident and he wasn't properly diagnosed until 2023.
He also said that in early 2025 he experienced a four-month-long manic episode that "destroyed my life."
"As the situation became increasingly unsustainable, there were times I didn't want to be here anymore," he says in the ad.
He goes on to say that having bipolar disorder made him feel like he didn't need help.
