Kanye West and Chris Brown branded 'sick' for laughing at explicit 'antisemitic' lyrics
Kanye West and Chris Brown branded 'sick' for laughing at explicit 'antisemitic' lyrics
Anyone hoping that Kanye West’s verbal attacks on Jewish people were a thing of the past has just been proven stomach-churningly wrong. Over the weekend, footage emerged of the disgraced rapper-producer, 46, dancing along elatedly to his new track ‘Vultures’. He was accompanied by that other paragon of male virtue, Chris Brown, 34, who bopped alongside him to some of the most offensive lyrics we’ve heard in a long time. In the song, which is a collaboration between West and Ty Dolla $ign, the former Mr Kim Kardashian says: “How I’m antisemitic (sic)? I just f***ked a Jewish bitch.” At that point, he and Brown beam at each other, before the song continues: “I just f**ked Scooter's b***h and we ran her like Olympics. Got pregnant in the threesome, so whose baby is it?” This appears to be a reference to Scooter Braun, Ye’s former manager, whom he fired in 2018. Last year, Braun divorced his wife of six years Yael Cohen Braun – a Canadian health activist and founder of a charity called “F**k Cancer” – who is Jewish. The clip, which has been widely circulated on social media, has understandably been met with horror and disgust. Sharing the video to Instagram, New York businesswoman Tanya Zuckerbrot asked: “What’s more sickening? The lyrics [...] Or the fact that both Kanye West and [Chris Brown] find it hysterical?” She followed up by branding the pair “sick, masochistic, antisemitic f**ks.” Thousands of others agreed, with one commentator writing: “Let the record industry chew on this. Let them never EVER work again.” Another urged viewers to block the two artists from their Spotify accounts, providing instructions on how to do so. While a third branded Brown and Ye “the two most problematic rappers of all time”. West, who lost his highest-profile contracts over hideous displays of antisemitism and Nazi veneration last year, continues to face demands to be axed from top streaming platforms. A year ago, a man from Milwaukee launched a petition calling on the likes of Spotify, Apple and Amazon Music to remove all of his solo tracks in a bid to “limit [his] influence on society”. Nathan Goergen wrote on the campaign’s Change.org webpage: “Kanye West has recently made statements praising Hitler and denying the Holocaust, after over a month of making harmful antisemitic statements. “Our society has no place for people who spread that kind of hate to be making millions off of their work. I call on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming platforms to immediately remove all of Kanye West’s solo albums and singles from their platforms. “By doing this, I hope that we can limit Kanye’s influence on society by eliminating his ability to make money off of people streaming his music. His statements are virtually irredeemable, and the time has finally come for him to receive a major punishment. We cannot let him continue to influence our youth and our society as a whole.” It has since garnered more than 95,000 signatures. And yet, the fact that the 46-year-old is still able to release songs featuring such offensive lyrics, and celebrate this alongside a convicted domestic abuser, shows that the world as a whole simply doesn’t care enough to prevent such despicable behaviour.

BBC accused of being 'baldist' after Pablo Zabaleta mistakenly used in Luis Rubiales report
BBC accused of being 'baldist' after Pablo Zabaleta mistakenly used in Luis Rubiales report
The BBC has been accused of “baldism” after mistakenly using footage of former Premier League footballer Pablo Zabaleta in a segment about Spanish football association (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales. Rubiales has faced repeated calls to step down from his position as the head of Spain’s football association after he grabbed Spanish striker Jenni Hermoso and kissed her mouth during the Women’s World Cup medal ceremony. The BBC ran a news bulletin yesterday about the RFEF calling an urgent meeting to discuss the scandal which included footage of the kiss – but that quickly cut to a clip of Zabaleta walking alongside a colleague. While the two bear some resemblance, the footage of the former Manchester City star was from the draw for the 2022 World Cup. The Fifa and Qatar logos are visible on the wall Zabaleta walks past in the video. “A production error meant we showed the wrong image in an earlier broadcast. This has now been rectified,” the broadcaster said in a statement. Comedian Omid Djalili posted on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, about the incident. He poked fun at the organisation, saying: “As a bald man, I am offended. Especially as they didn’t include footage of me or [fellow bald celebrity] Stanley Tucci.” One commenter asked: “Is this considered a ‘baldist’ offence?” However, another person was more sympathetic, pointing out that the two look very alike. They said: “Gotta be honest, I watched the clip 3 times thinking 'wheres Zabaleta?'. Easily done IMO.” Rubiales’ kiss has sparked outrage in Spain and beyond. Hermoso has since said the action was not consensual. She said the situation had left her feeling “vulnerable and a victim of aggression”. In her statement, she described the kiss as “an impulsive act, sexist, out of place and without any type of consent from my part. In short, I wasn’t respected.” Fifa, the sports governing body, has suspended Rubiales for 90 days starting on 26 August. The Spanish FA has stuck firmly by its boss throughout and has even threatened to sue Hermoso. Separately on 28 August, a Spanish court opened a preliminary investigation to see if what took place was a sexual assault. Spain’s labour minister and second deputy prime minister Yolanda Diaz has also weighed in, according to Reuters. She said male chauvinism is “systemic” in the country.

Kanye West accused of controlling wife with 'risque outfits' amid latest Italy stunt
Kanye West accused of controlling wife with 'risque outfits' amid latest Italy stunt
Comedian Kathy Griffin has raised her concerns for Kanye West's rumoured wife Bianca Censori, after accusing her of being controlled after sparking more controversy for her outfits in Italy. In recent weeks, West and Censori have dominated headlines with risque outfits and controversies while travelling Italy. From boat bans due to West exposing his bare bottom, to Censori covering up with a hotel pillow – and now, causing a frenzy in Florence for an impromptu photoshoot. As reported by the Daily Mail, West snapped pictures of Censori in the middle of a street surrounded by onlookers. The Australian architect wore not much more than a tight-fitting skin-coloured leotard before being ushered into the luxury Graziella Braccialini leather store by the outspoken rapper. Now, in a lengthy TikTok video, Griffin shares her thoughts, disclaiming that she may "get in trouble for this video" due to its "controversial" nature. In the caption, she gives a "trigger warning" for topics of abuse. "I can’t help it. I worry," she wrote. "I don’t even know this woman but I still worry." "We’ve all seen those photos of Kanye and his new wife Bianca Censori, right?" she said. "I see those photos when she is in those pantyhose and like not even a bandeau top, it’s really all about being see-through." While complimenting Censori, Griffin notes that the 28-year-old looks "almost identical" to Kim Kardashian. "When I see this woman who has no voice, we have not heard a peep out of her," Griffin continues. "I’ve heard that she has a master’s degree in architecture from a university in Australia, she’s gorgeous and she seems to have no voice whatsoever." @kathygriffin Trigger warning! I discuss possible abuse in this video. I can’t help it. I worry. I don’t even know this woman but I still worry. #KathyGriffin "I don’t know her, I’m never going to meet her, but I just want to know what you guys think, because it just looks like something a really controlling dude would do," she rounded off, after referencing the Venice boat incident. West, who legally changed his name to Ye in 2021, and Censori's recent outing in Florence saw her pose with locals while dressed in a leotard. Indy100 reached out to Kanye West's rep for comment.
