Seth Rogen was in an interview with CinemaBlend, where he talked about Kanye West’s recent post on Jews and how the 21 Jump Street movie of Jonah Hill changed his mindset towards the Jews. Rogen said sarcastically,

“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 This Is The End actor claimed that he wrote some jokes for the movie that made West change his mind so deserves some credit for it as well. Rogen said,

“I wrote some jokes for that movie, so I feel slight ownership.”

On March 25, 2023, West posted on Instagram that he was no longer opposed to Jews, which caught the netizens off guard.

Thanks again to Hill and the movie, the rapper who once ignited controversy because of anti-Semitic slurs is now feeling like a Jew again. He uploaded the poster of 21 Jump Street on Instagram and wrote in the caption,

“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.” 

West further added,

“No Christian can be labelled antisemite knowing Jesus is a Jew,” adding, “Thank you, Jonah Hill I love you.” 

Many fans commented on West’s post, thanking him for releasing this post, and many credited Hill.

Last year, West dealt with a slew of issues and controversies, ranging from his divorce from Kim Kardashian to a feud with one of the world’s biggest brands, Adidas. The drama between West and Pete Davidson was one of the most popular topics last year after Kardashian began dating Davidson before West and the SKIMS founder’s divorce was finalized.

One of the other reasons West was chastised on the internet was for his anti-Semitic remarks. He claimed in one of the deleted Tweets that he was “going to death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE” before claiming he wasn’t “Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also.”

West received a lot of hate from people online after his anti-Semitic remarks.
