Jonah Hill

Kanye West shared an Instagram post claiming that Jonah Hill's performance in "21 Jump Street" helped change his views about antisemitism.

This began a string of hate-speech-filled interviews, which reached an even more disturbing level when he appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars and said “I see good things about Hitler,” among other hateful rhetoric. “Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” Ye wrote alongside a poster for the 2012 comedy, which also starred Channing Tatum.

Kanye West returned to social media to declare that he "likes Jewish people again," all thanks to Jonah Hill's performance in '21 Jump Street.'
