Jewish Organizations Criticize Kanye West Over Recent Rap Lyric On Song ‘Vultures’

Kanye West received backlash from several Jewish advocacy groups for his latest song.

The lyric in question appeared on the recently released track, “Vultures,” which featured him and Ty Dolla Sign. It is set to be part of a collaboration album between the two rappers.

In the second verse of the song, in which West says, “How I’m anti-Semitic? I just f—– a Jewish b—-.”

Jewish advocacy groups have since lambasted Kanye’s choice of lyrics.

“At a time of rising antisemitism worldwide, it’s disgusting to see Kanye once again use his platform to spew Jew-hatred,” an Anti-Defamation League spokesman.

American Jewish Congress spokesperson Richard Hirschhaut called the lyric “particularly pathetic and sad.”

“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 added.

West’s choice of lyrics comes after the October 7 attacks against Israel by Hamas, which killed 1,200 people and took 240 hostages.

The attacks and the ongoing conflict have seen a rise in anti-Jewish, anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States.

In 2022, West went on several anti-semitic tirades. He has apologized for the remarks in a now-deleted Instagram post.

West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were seen last week at a Dubai fashion show, where Censori sported a large fur hat and carried a giant stuffed animal.
