DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES: Kanye West aka Ye is once again embroiled in controversy, following a viral video of him dancing with Chris Brown.
Public outrage is mounting with critics questioning the lack of "consequences" as a video of West, 46, and 'King of R&B', 34, dancing to a track deemed "antisemitic" has surfaced online.
Kanye West and Chris Brown apparently danced to 'antisemitic' track
A video that has been making rounds on social media shows Kanye West enthusiastically rapping along to his new song with Ty Dolla $ign, titled 'Vultures', which includes the line "How I’m anti-semitic? I just f**ked a Jewish b***h."
The clip features Chris Brown, Ty, Bump J, and other artists enjoying and grooving to the song. This has led to significant outrage online, with many criticizing the artists for their involvement in the controversial track.
West’s supposed antisemitic outbursts have led to a series of repercussions. His MRC-produced documentary was canceled, he was dropped by his agency, CAA, and several retailers ceased selling Yeezy products.
On the other hand, Brown has been a contentious figure since his brutal assault on Rihanna in 2009. His legal troubles have continued to pile up over the years.
And his association with West’s controversial song may further tarnish his public image, as per Page Six.
Internet is furious over Kanye West and Chris Brown's 'antisemitic' behavior
Taking to Instagram, Jewish businesswoman Tanya Zuckerbrot wrote, "What’s more sickening? The lyrics … Or the fact that both Kanye West and @chrisbrownofficial find it hysterical? Sick, masochistic, antisemitic f**ks."
In the comment section, one asked, "How are there no consequences?"
Another said, "Let the record industry chew on this. Let them never EVER work again," while a person added, "Does anyone know how to block certain artists from Spotify? Don’t want to give them one cent!"
An angry user penned, "How do they get away with this???"
"Beyond sickening. Thank god he’s cancelled in the US," stated someone else, with one more saying, "Where is the disgust button."
A year ago, West faced significant backlash after he made several antisemitic outbursts and was subsequently released from his contracts with Adidas and Balenciaga.
Additionally, his social media presence was curtailed, with restrictions placed on his X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts.
This series of events essentially led to his ‘cancellation’ in the public eye.
