Rapper Kanye West, who now legally goes by the name Ye, was seen recently at a party in Dubai dancing and singing along to his new controversial song Vultures, in which he raps, “How I’m antisemitic? I just f–ked a Jewish b—ch.”
The Grammy winner, 46, rapped his new song as it played loud out of speakers at the party. He was surrounded by other rappers who were also jamming along, including Ty Dolla $ign, who is featured in Vultures, Chris Brown, Ty, and Bump J. The song, which also features Lil Durk, debuted on Nov. 17.
Many social media users who saw a clip online of West singing at the party criticized the rapper for the song’s offensive lyrics, calling him and other rappers present “sick, masochistic, antisemitic f–ks.” Others called him “vile,” as well as a “disgusting, racist Jew hater.”
West also gave a surprise performance of Vultures in Dubai on Sunday night. During Lil Durk’s show at the night club Blu Dubai, West appeared on stage alongside the rapper and Ty Dolla $ign, and rapped the song’s incendiary lyrics, as seen in a video shared on the club’s Instagram Story. Later on in the song, Ty Dolla $ign rapped, “Bad-ass b—ch from the Middle E-E-E-East wanna lick on me.”
West was accused of being antisemitic late last year starting in October, after he made a series of comments targeting Jews. He posted on X/Twitter that he wanted to “go death con 3 ON JEWISH PEOPLE [sic],” referring to the US military’s DEFCON system for rating how alert the armed forces should be at a given moment in the face of a threat. The rapper was temporarily suspended from X for his remarks, but has since returned to the platform, and lost his Yeezy partnership with Adidas, as well as his partnerships with a number of other brands.
The singer then shared antisemitic tropes on social media, promoted antisemitic conspiracy theories and stereotypes during an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and praised Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as a guest on the talk show Infowars, hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. While talking to Jones, West also said people should “stop dissing the Nazis” and compared himself to Jews hiding in the Holocaust, saying: “There are Jewish people basically hiding me under their floorboards right now. It’s like a reverse version of the Holocaust.”
