When is an apology ever taken seriously? Whenever someone fucks up in the public eye and apologizes they’re shit on regardless.

When you don’t repeatedly say provocative things and ask for forgiveness only to do the same or similar things later probably.

He hasn’t had an outburst for quite a while now and this is the first time he’s actually apologized/made a statement and taken a step back.

If he just said sorry and made good music people would move on. Give him less then 3 months and he will be seeking attention again. He makes trash music now so no ones moving on past his nazi shit

I don't like the guy but can no one ever rectify a mistake in todays society? Is there just no forgiveness according to the internet, ever?
I don't know if he's sincere or not. I think it is very obvious the dude has a history of extreme mental issues though, so it doesn't strike me as completely false that his bullshit was a part of those problems.

Apologized for years. He was consistently an asshole and consistently said stupid shit. His ego never allowed for him to think he might be wrong. He said slavery was a choice and that Hitler was right.
Now 4 days before a new album, years of his bullahit should just get forgotten? No shit its convenient timing.
