The track in question is West’s first song since causing uproar within the industry with a series of anti-Semitic comments and messages on social media. According to Page Six, the rapper’s new song, “Vultures,” seemingly addressed his controversial comments but enraged fans with a lyric that went, “How am I antisemitic? I just f—– a Jewish b—-.”
West, TY Dolla Sign, Chris Brown, and other notable names were seen dancing to the controversial track in a video making the rounds on social media, sparking an immediate and widespread condemnation from fans, who considered it to be offensive towards the Jewish community.
In the track featuring TY Dolla Sign and Lil Durk, the Yeezy designer seemingly slammed his former manager, Scooter Braun, with a line that read, “I just f—– Scooter’s b—-.” He also namechecks the Columbine shooting, per Variety.

Several fans, along with prominent voices within the Jewish community, have weighed in on the controversy, condemning both artists for their behavior.
“How about mocking the female community? That lyric is denigrating and demeaning to all women,” a fan shared. “Kanye cares nothing about women. Total disrespect for women as human beings. Look at how he makes his wife dress. It’s completely about showing off her body to serve his own ego.”
Another fan said, “Kanye West is an antisemitic has-been and big-time loser, and that’s a loser of billions of dollars. Does anyone really care?”
One fan wrote, “Kanye and Chris Brown are a perfect match. Both despicable humans,” while another added, “2 raving wife beaters and antisemites. Jog on losers.”
Trouble Between Kanye West & Bianca Censori?

It comes after West and his wife, Biance Censori, seemingly dispelled speculations of a rift in their marriage as they were seen partying at the prestigious Royal Atlantis Hotel in Dubai.
In the video that has resulted in the “Praise God” rapper being slammed for his “anti-Semitic” lyrics, Censori could be seen in her scantily dressed ensemble also turning up and having a good time.
However, celebrity psychic and body language expert Inbaal Honigman paid a closer look and noted to The Mirror that “Bianca’s gaze” tells a different story from what is purported.
“The reports of a reunion are greatly exaggerated. In the short clip of Kanye and his Mrs. in Dubai, the whole story is in Bianca’s gaze,” Honigman shared. “As Ye bops to his own track, surrounded by men who appear to laugh at his jokes, he feels confident, empowered by the occasion. Smiling broadly with his lips and eyes, his face is close to the man on his left, and they laugh together, sharing a moment.”

She went on to say that West seemed to be enjoying himself and didn’t “feel alone,” but the same can’t be said for his wife, who had her eyes “fixed on the back of his neck” the whole time.
“We see her staring at him, never dropping her gaze, monitoring him. Then he turns to her, and Kanye’s eyes search for his wife’s, but this is when she looks away,” she went on, adding that the scenario “tells us that Bianca is actively committed to putting a distance between herself and her husband” and that her lack of emotion when rejecting his gaze shows that “she doesn’t care for him.”
“The drink in her hand is a distraction, a way to close off her body and to appear busy so that he won’t try to get close to her or start a conversation,” Honigman added.
Bianca Censori Is Starting To See Things From Another Perspective

Censori recently flew back home to Australia after it was revealed that the couple was on “a break.” She also didn’t accompany West on his father-daughter holiday trip to the Middle East with his eldest child, North.
According to the Daily Mail, a source shared that she reunited with some of her friends who challenged her to “wake the f— up” to her husband’s “controlling” behavior. Censori’s trip home was the first in nearly a year after getting married to the rapper, and the source revealed that her friends made sure to let her know how they felt about her headlining marriage.
“Everyone is just glad that they finally were able to get through to Bianca,” the insider shared. “Her friends let her know exactly how they felt, and they told her that she needs to wake the f— up.”
“She knows that she has shut out those close to her, and she is also starting to see through the smoky mirrors of her marriage,” they went on, adding that she’s “aware of Kanye’s controlling ways, and she is starting to see things from an outside perspective.”
