Kanye West slammed for wearing black KKK-style hood: ‘Sick and disgusting!’
Despite the backlash he’s received from his infamous stream of anti-Semitic outbursts, Kanye West has sported a black version of a KKK-style hood – sparking more outrage among critics who are slating him as vile over the stunt.
Kanye West is being slammed as sick for wearing a black version of a KKK-style hood.
The controversy-mired rapper, 46, who has been ditched from his money-spinning brand deals over his anti-Semitic outbursts, wore the shock outfit to his ‘Vultures’ album listening party on Monday. (11.12.23)
Dad-of-four Kanye initially showed up to the do, dubbed the ‘Vultures Rave’, with a garment covering his face but later changed into the dark pointy black hood as the title track for the album played.
In the song, Kanye addresses allegations of his past anti-Semitic behaviour, rapping: “How I’m anti-Semitic?”, along with a stream of abuse.
His critics have since flooded social media to brand him “sick” and “disgusting”, with others saying he is an “anti-Semite”.
Others dismissed a theory Kanye was satirising white supremacy with his outfit.
More critics slated the face Kanye’s daughter North, 10, who he had with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, 43, was at the event and at one point joined him on stage.
His and Kim’s daughter Chicago, five, and son Saint, eight, were also in attendance and were spotted in the crowd with the rapper’s new wife, Bianca Censori, 28.
It appears Kanye and Kim’s youngest child, four-year-old son Psalm, did not attend the party.
In Kanye’s 2013 music video for the song ‘Black Skinhead’ he featured a cast wearing black hoods.
The album party was also attended by stars including Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, Offset, Lil Durk, Chris Brown and Kodak Black.
Kanye had partnerships including one with Adidas axed last year.
He suffered a furious backlash after he wrote on Twitter, now known as X, he was “going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE”.
Kanye added: “You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
On Instagram Kanye he posted a screenshot of a conversation with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 54, where he wrote: “Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” Kanye also caused a storm by including T-shirts with the slogan ‘White Lives Matter’ in a Yeezy fashion show in Paris.
