Critics Call Kanye West’s New Single ‘Vultures’ Antisemitic
Kanye West is being slammed by critics for his new track, which has been called “antisemitic.”
His latest single, “Vultures,” was released Wednesday and has already met with substantial backlash. He had a surprise performance of the song while on vacation in Dubai on Sunday night.
West is also being criticized for dancing to the song with Chris Brown, Bump J and Ty Dolla Sign, who collaborated on the song with him.
During this trip, he and his wife Bianca Censori reunited as she had briefly traveled to Australia to visit her family.
Censori carried a large stuffed animal and wore a large fur hat to the event.
The video shows the group rocking out during West’s controversial line: “How I’m antisemitic? I just f—– a Jewish b—-.”
Fans criticized the three men, one writing, “Shame on you!!!!!!!!”
Another commented, “What’s more sickening? The lyrics… Or the fact that both Kanye West and @chrisbrownofficial find it hysterical?”
The song also takes a hit at his former manager Scooter Braun, “I just f—– Scooter’s b—-.”
He also raps about the school shooting at Columbine High School.
Brown has also been slammed by critics for dancing alongside West. He defended his actions by posting a statement on his Instagram story. “In no way shape or form am I antisemitic!!! I’m pro-life and I make music for the entire world!!!!!! So please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it. This is for the millions of young kids that look up to me and may be confused ❤️,” he wrote.
Brown later added, “Let me make this perfectly clear before yall try to use me as a pawn… Ima piru, I ain’t Muslim or Jewish so don’t start no s— won’t be no s—!!! I’m trying to be peaceful but please do not wake up the demon in me! Go on about your f—ing day.”
West has made a number of antisemitic comments since last year which caused him to lose deals including with Gap, Adidas and Balenciaga.
West recently lost his status as a billionaire due to his numerous canceled deals.
