‘Kanye’s ‘Vultures’ Event Halted Over ‘Antisemitic’ Lyric Controversy’
- Kanye West held a listening party event where he debuted his new album. The event had someone monitoring for antisemitic remarks, and immediately used a bleep button at the first sign of such language.
- During the performance, Kanye mentioned his antisemitism in one of his tracks, upon which the streaming service Veeps quickly censored him by cutting the feed to black and going silent. This has led to online speculations that Kanye and Veeps might have had an agreement to cut the show at any moment for objectionable content.
- The album ‘Vultures’ was not released on major streaming platforms. It remains unclear when or if Kanye will drop it. During the concert, Kanye compared himself to “canceled” celebrities including Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Diddy.
