Kanye West Issues Flippant Response To Antisemitism Controversy In New Song Snippet


November 17, 2023

Kanye West continues to dig his heels in over his antisemitism controversy, swatting away the allegations that he doesn’t like Jewish people in flippant fashion on a new song.

On Thursday (November 16), a snippet of an unreleased track surfaced online. The video appears to have been recorded in Saudi Arabia, where Ye is currently working on his upcoming album with Ty Dolla $ign, among other projects.

While Kanye’s lyrics are somewhat faint due to the footage being recorded from afar, he can be heard rapping: “How am I antisemitic? I just fucked a Jewish bitch.”

Listen to it below:

Kanye West began spewing antisemitic rhetoric late last year following the backlash to the “White Lives Matter” shirts he debuted at his Yeezy Season 9 fashion show in October.

In various interviews, public appearances and social media posts, he praised Adolf Hitler and vowed to go “Death Con 3 on Jewish people”, while also disparaging George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement.

West was subsequently dropped by a number of creative and commercial partners, most notably adidas. The termination of their lucrative Yeezy partnership saw Kanye’s $1.5 billion net worth get slashed to around $400 million.

He was also suspended from major social media platforms, with X (formerly Twitter) freezing his account after he posted an image of a swastika inside the Star of David.
