Kanye West is doubling down on his apology tour -- insisting his remorse over his antisemitic and alarming behavior is real, not some slick PR play to save his music career.

YouTube star Adam the Woo died from natural causes, TMZ has learned.

A rep for Florida's Orange County Medical Examiner tells TMZ ... Adam died of "atherosclerotic and hypertensive cardiovascular disease with obesity."

Adam's dad, Jim Williams, reached out to fans in a Facebook post Monday, writing, "Our beloved Son . . . your beloved friend . . . died, in essence, of a heart attack in his sleep from health issues he probably never knew he had."

He continued ... "Now, we can all stop guessing. Be grateful the Lord allowed him to die at home and not in a foreign country. Be grateful he was found by friends (as hard as that was) and not some nameless stranger."

As we reported, Adam died December 22. Deputies initially went to his Orlando, Florida home for a welfare check, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota became unwilling astronomers Monday night ... taking in the full moon when a man dropped his pants and slapped his butt cheeks up against a hotel window.

The impromptu peep show took place at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Maple Grove, Minnesota, where demonstrators -- who believed outgoing United States Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino and other federal agents were inside -- protested from the curb outside.

Their message wasn't well-received by one guy in the hotel standing near a window with a group of his pals ... who decided to lodge a counter-protest of his own -- by mooning the crowd.
