Kanye West declares his new album to be 'Antisemitic’

Kanye West has continued his string of antisemitic statements. Billboard reported that the rapper has teased a working title for his upcoming album. West reportedly tweeted on the afternoon of March 6, 2025:

"This next album got that antisemitic sound. My new sound called antisemitic.”

The rapper gave no further details on when the album would be released, but one would recall that he promoted the release of a Bully album in January 2025. Kanye West’s latest controversial tweet comes after the rapper was spotted, in public, wearing a white shirt with the Swastika logo emblazoned on it.

The rapper sold the shirts on his Yeezy website before it was shut down by Shopify.

Kanye West’s history of Antisemitic statements explored

In 2022, the famous rapper broke the internet for wearing a White Lives Matter shirt at his Yeezy Paris Fashion Week show—a phrase commonly associated with neo-N*zi and white supremacist groups. According to Billboard’s report of October 9, 2022, despite heavy criticism of his actions, he took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to make contentious statements widely regarded as antisemitic. He allegedly tweeted that he was going “death con…3 on Jewish people” and praised Hitler.

Adidas announced that it had dropped its deal with the rapper and fashion entrepreneur in October 2022 due to its intolerance for hate speech. Instagram and Twitter also restricted his accounts due to his violation of their company guidelines and rules.

According to a CBS News report of December 2023, West apologized to Jews in a statement written in Hebrew for his antisemitic comments. His Instagram post read:

"I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."

Fast forward to February 7, 2025; the rapper once again posted a series of tweets that caused a buzz online. Kanye West declared that he was a N*zi before adding that he loved Hitler. When he got called out for his antisemitic comments, the controversial rapper refused to apologize and tweeted instead:

"IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN WHATEVER THE F*** I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D*** HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.”
