Ye
aka
Kanye
West
performed
a
new
song
over
the
weekend
in
Dubai,
which
has
earned
him
the
ire
of
Jewish
groups
citing
his
degrading
and
antisemitic
lyrics.
Ye
was
spotted
in
Dubai
taking
the
stage
during
a
show
featuring
Lil
Durk
at
BLU
Dubai
nightclub
Sunday
(Nov.
26)
where
he
was
joined
by
Ty
Dolla
$ign.
The
trio
then
performed
a
new
song
featuring
Ye
called
“Vultures.”
The
club
had
posted
clips
of
the
performance
through
its
Instagram
Stories,
with
one
featuring
the
rapper
saying,
“How
I’m
antisemitic?
I
just
f*cked
a
Jewish
b*tch.”
That
line
sparked
outrage
online,
with
Jewish
advocacy
groups
leading
the
charge
against
the
controversial
rapper.
“At
a
time
of
rising
antisemitism
worldwide,
it’s
disgusting
to
see
Kanye
once
again
use
his
platform
to
spew
Jew-hatred,”
a
spokesperson
for
the
Anti-Defamation
League
said
to
a
representative
for
TMZ.
“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,”
said
Richard
Hirschhaut,
a
spokesperson
for
the
American
Jewish
Committee,
adding
that
while
this
isn’t
new
behavior
for
Kanye
West,
this
time
around
“seems
particularly
pathetic
and
sad.”
According
to
reports,
“Vultures”
(which
apparently
is
Ye’s
first
official
release
since
July
of
last
year)
was
first
aired
to
the
public
on
Chicago
radio
station
Power
92
on
Nov.
17.
The
song
hasn’t
made
it
to
streaming
platforms
yet.
The
controversy
over
the
lyric
adds
to
the
bevy
of
antisemitic
remarks
that
Ye
has
engaged
in
ever
since
making
a
post
on
X,
formerly
Twitter,
last
October.
That
led
to
the
“Father
Stretch
My
Hands”
rapper
being
kicked
off
the
platform
(he
would
be
reinstated
after
Elon
Musk
bought
the
company),
having
his
deals
with
adidas
and
Gap
terminated
and
costing
him
his
billionaire
status.
It
only
got
worse
in
December
when
he
appeared
on
conspiracy
theorist
Alex
Jones’
Infowars
show
and
praised
Nazi
dictator
Adolf
Hitler.
