Kanye West is being called out for yet again embroiling himself in yet another antisemitic controversy over lyrics from his latest music project.
The rapper has made headlines for making outrageous antisemitic comments in the past and as recently as this year, which stripped him of major business deals and caused a $400 million drop in his net worth.
However, it seems that some prominent Jewish organizations are fed up with his antics, and are speaking out!
Kanye West Called Out By Jewish Group For His Stance
Over the weekend, West performed his latest song “Vultures,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Durk, which contains offensive lyrics, at a Dubai nightclub.

“Vultures” was leaked earlier this month as he worked on a new joint album with Ty Dolla $ign in the Middle East. In the song, West is heard rapping that he can’t be labeled antisemitic because he’s a “f—- b—-h Jew.”
However, the publisher’s latest move did not go down well with some Jewish advocacy organizations, as representatives for the Anti-Defamation League issued a statement regarding the lyrics. “At a time when antisemitism is on the rise around the world, it is disgusting to see Kanye once again use his platform to spew Jew hatred,” the organization wrote.
The league added that it was not surprised that the vile lyrics came from West, who is “an unrepentant antisemite and clearly a misogynist.”
Richard Hirschhaut of the American Jewish Committee also told TMZ that the rapper’s antisemitic activities over the years have been well-documented, and that this latest display is “particularly sad and distressing.” Hirschhaut added that fanning the “flames of antisemitism” and promoting it to his large following, especially at a sensitive period for the Jewish community, was “inexcusable.”
The response from the Jewish organization comes days after a video of a West belting out vulgar songs at the Dubai club went viral online. The Donda rapper was seen with Chris Brown, Bump J, Vory, Cyhi, The Prynce, and others dancing during the performance.
West also threw shade at his former manager Scooter Braun with the lyrics “I just f—– Scooter’s b—–,” and talked about the Columbine shootings.
Fans and leaders in the online Jewish community wasted no time taking to social media to condemn all the individuals seen in the video, as a comment: “Disgusting.” Other users add: “Chris brown doesn’t surprise anyone at least he keeps his hands to himself.”

One more explained West’s antics as “attention seeking,” adding that “he’s too talented to disrespect ANY woman in that way.”
“Why are we surprised that a female abuser and a man with severe untreated mental health problems would produce such a vile clip? Or a song for that matter. These people lost their souls long ago,” said one very disgruntled commenter.
The father-of-four and his wife Bianca Censori were also spotted together at the Royal Atlantis Hotel in Dubai, further rubbishing rumors of any strain in their nearly year-old marriage.
Rapper ‘Selah’ Allegedly Moved To Trademark Anti-Semitic Phrases
Last month, the 24-time Grammy winner was reportedly in the same hot water when he reportedly tried to trademark the phrase “YEWS” for use on his products and business.
Court papers reveal that Ox Paha Inc. filed for sole rights to the phrase in early October. According to reports, West allegedly had a secret relationship with the firm after it listed the rapper’s office on Melrose Ave. as the address.
Cara West’s alleged anti-semitic behavior first gained massive publicity during a Paris Fashion Week show in October 2022 where she and her models wore shirts with the words “White Lives Matter.” The statement immediately drew suspicion because it was popularly used to oppose the Black Lives Matter movement
The rapper responded to the backlash on social media by tweeting “I’m kinda sleepy tonight, but when I wake up I’m gonna die con 3 On THE JEWS. The funny thing is I can’t actually be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jews too; you all have played me and tried to blackmail anyone who opposes your agenda.”

The designer later declared his admiration for Adolf Hitler and added that the Holocaust never happened. West’s comments led to the suspension of his social media accounts, the removal of his wax figure from London’s Madame Tussauds, and the termination of agreements with Gap, Balenciaga, Adidas, and Foot Locker.
Famous figures such as President Joe Biden, ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Pusha T, and Khloe Kardashian also publicly condemned his intolerable actions.
