Kanye West and Chris Brown Face Backlash Over Allegedly Antisemitic Song at Private Party
Kanye West and Chris Brown find themselves at the center of public outrage after being spotted dancing and enthusiastically promoting a song with alleged antisemitic lyrics. The controversial incident has emerged amid ongoing relationship issues involving Bianca Censori and Kanye’s latest track, “Vultures,” leading to both celebrities being criticized as ‘trash’ and ‘disgusting’ for their involvement in a song that mocks the Jewish community.
The controversy unfolded as Kanye West, recovering from previous career setbacks due to antisemitic remarks, dropped a new song titled “Vultures” featuring Ty Dolla $ign on November 18. In a widely circulated social media video, Kanye is seen passionately rapping along to the track at a private party, accompanied by Chris Brown. The contentious lyrics in question state, “How I’m anti-semitic? I just f–k*d a Jewish bi**h.”
The private gathering included not only the American singer, songwriter, and rapper Chris Brown but also other artists such as Ty and Bump J. The video quickly went viral, triggering widespread criticism from the audience, who described the content as ‘absolutely disgusting’ and ‘trash.’
Jewish businesswoman Tanya Zuckerbrot expressed her dismay on her social media account, questioning, “What’s more sickening? The lyrics … Or the fact that both Kanye West and @chrisbrownofficial find it hysterical?” Another user supported this sentiment, stating, “Let the record industry chew on this. Let them never EVER work again.”
Kanye West’s controversial track “Vultures” adds to the musician’s history of troubling statements. A previous visit to Alex Jones’s Infowars talk show had Kanye expressing admiration for Hitler and making disparaging remarks about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The rapper faced severe consequences approximately a year ago, including the termination of contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga, suspension of Twitter and Instagram accounts, and being canceled by his agency due to repeated antisemitic outbursts. The MRC-produced documentary involving Kanye West was also shelved.
