Kanye West is back in the music scene with the release of his new single "Vultures". The song, which features Ty Dolla Sign and Lil Durk, was accompanied by a controversial lyric about a sexual encounter with a "Jewish B*tch".
Kanye performed the song last week in Dubai with Ty and Durk, which caused an uproar, and Jewish organizations have taken notice. The Anti-Defamation League released a statement to TMZ calling out Kanye for his "disgusting" behavior and accused him of being an "unrepentant antisemite and misogynist".
These accusations come after Kanye's fall from grace last year, when he made antisemitic jokes about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and praised Adolf Hitler on Alex Jones' "Infowars". As a result, Kanye was banned from Twitter, dropped from CAA, and lost his deals with Adidas, Balenciaga, and The Gap.
In the wake of the Israel-Palestine conflict, and at a time when antisemitism is on the rise globally, Richard Hirschhaut, a spokesperson for the American Jewish Committee, expressed outrage at Kanye for his "pathetic and sad" remarks.
"To fuel the flames of antisemitism and promote such bile to his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community, is unforgivable," Hirschhaut said.
Kanye's actions have had serious implications for his career and finances, with the rap/fashion mogul going from a billionaire back to a millionaire. Now as he works to rebuild his reputation, it remains to be seen what more Kanye has in store.
