What does Jonah Hill have to say about Kanye West?
The actor was asked about Kanye West’s latest comments about him late Tuesday night
Actor Jonah Hill was thrust into the spotlight once again this week after a recent declaration by Kanye West. However, Hill apparently had no time to comment on the matter.
The rapper took to Instagram on March 25, to claim Jonah’s performance in the 2012 comedy ‘21 Jump Street’ made him love Jewish people again.
Kanye West’s history of making offensive claims regarding Jewish people began in 2022. Most notably his claim that he would go ‘death con 3 on Jewish People,’ which he made on Twitter in October 2022.
Return to Social Media
However, this week, West has been active again on Instagram after a brief hiatus to proclaim his rediscovered love for Jewish people with a post about Jonah Hill’s work in ‘21 Jump Street.’
“Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” Ye writes in the caption
He continues, “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people”
“No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you,” he concludes his post.
The Jonah Hill-dedicated post is currently the only post West has on his Instagram account after it was restricted in early October of 2022 for violating the platform’s policies.
However, Jonah Hill isn’t the only Jewish actor who was cast in ‘21 Jump Street’. Dave Franco, who played another lead character in the role of Eric Molson, is also Jewish.
Jonah Hill staying quiet
While the Instagram post has caused quite a stir in media attention, Jonah Hill is staying quiet and has yet to comment. The actor was asked by Paparazzi about the Instagram post, Tuesday night while he walked to his car after dinner.
While walking out of Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, a photographer asked Hill “how do you feel about changing Kanye’s comment about changing perspective?”
The actor ignored the question and promptly got into his car, also ignoring another voice asking him to sign his Funko Pop collectible.
