Kanye West is back to making headlines over his shocking behavior. In a new twist, the rapper has allegedly recorded a new song that’s just not sitting well with folks online.
Later Thursday (November 16), a snippet of an unreleased track hit the internet and it appears to have been recorded in Saudi Arabia, where Ye is currently working on his upcoming project with Ty Dolla $ign.
In the clip obtained by TMZ and captured by a content creator that goes by @mansorash on IG, Kanye seemingly tries to set the record straight on where he stands after being accused of spewing out anti-Semitic remarks in the past. “How am I antisemitic? I just f*cked a Jewish b*tch,” he allegedly raps in the snippet.
Unclear if this is another case of AI-tricking but Kanye West has not spoken out yet to clarify or deny these lyrics.

Looking Back On His Past Comments:
Kanye West has gotten nearly “canceled” in the past over his wild and super controversial remarks but last year the industry decided to shut him out over his his antisemitic comments.
It all started during an interview on Revolt TV’s “Drink Champs” series that was posted and then removed on October 16. During the show, Ye repeatedly blamed “Jewish media” and “Jewish Zionists” for numerous alleged misdeeds. He stated that “Jewish people have owned the Black voice” and that “the Jewish community, especially in the music industry…take us and milk us till we die.” He also commented that he was “#MeToo-ing the Jewish culture. I’m saying y’all gotta stand up and admit to what you been doing.”
He doubled down on his comments during an October 17 interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation. He said, Black people cannot be antisemitic, stating that “we are Semite, we Jew, so I can’t be antisemite.”
To make matters worse, Ye let off a bunch of tweets with one raising the specter of violence, and was later removed by Twitter. It read, “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE. The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jews. Also, You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”
As a result of his behavior, Adidas cut ties with Kanye West. “Adidas does not tolerate antisemitism and any other sort of hate speech,” the company said in a statement last year. “Ye’s recent comments and actions have been unacceptable, hateful, and dangerous, and they violate the company’s values of diversity and inclusion, mutual respect and fairness.”
Gap, which announced in September 2022 that it was ending its Yeezy Gap partnership, said in a statement: “We are taking immediate steps to remove Yeezy Gap products from our stores and we have shut down YeezyGap.com. Antisemitism, racism, and hate in any form are inexcusable and not tolerated in accordance with our values,” the company said. “On behalf of our customers, employees and shareholders, we are partnering with organizations that combat hate and discrimination.”
Following that situation, Kim Kardashian, Ye’s ex-wife, spoke out at the time and pledged to “stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end.”
Kanye has kept a low profile ever since but is slowly returning to the public eye as he gears up to release new music.
A rep for Ye has also not yet spoken out on these snippets that have been circulating on the internet and comes at a super bad time as the Hamas/Israel war is still ongoing. Until then, let us know your thoughts on this in the comment box below!
