It's not exculpatory, but it's absolutely an explanatory factor. Mental illness can totally alter the way a person views and interfaces with the world, causing them to be paranoid, delusional, violent, etc. Remember: women in the grips of post-partum psychosis have killed their children. I read about one such woman who had come to sincerely believe that the world hated them and would make them suffer, that there was no hope for them to have a good life, and had become convinced that the only way to save them was to kill them. She is still culpable for her actions -- but she was absolutely not in her right mind when she did what she did.

Kanye likely is prone to the sort of conspiratorial and paranoid thinking that undergirds antisemitism (there's a shadowy Them responsible for all the problems in the world) due to his mental illness. This does not mean that he can't be held accountable for it.
