In a recent episode of Kanye West’s ongoing controversies, the Chicago rapper found himself at the center of criticism when he sported a mask associated with the notorious white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), during the listening party for his collaborative album “Vultures” with Ty Dolla $ign. The event took place at Miami’s Wynwood Marketplace on December 12.
The controversial incident was not only witnessed by the live audience but was also live-streamed online, drawing widespread attention and condemnation. This mask controversy follows Kanye’s previous entanglement in a controversy last year when he wore a White Lives Matter shirt and made several antisemitic remarks.
Adding fuel to the fire, the 46-year-old artist’s latest track, “Vultures,” faced backlash from Jewish organizations for alleged antisemitic lyrics, notably the line: “How I’m antisemitic? I just fed a Jewish b*.”
Despite the controversies, the album listening party featured a star-studded lineup of artists who joined Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign on stage. Offset, Lil Durk, Chris Brown, Kodak Black, Freddie Gibbs, and Kanye’s daughter, North, were among the notable names present.
Kanye West’s choice of attire has reignited discussions about his controversial public image, stirring debates on social media platforms and within the broader community.
