Following his fallout as a result of antisemitic comments on Twitter and Instagram, Kanye West was interviewed by Jewish Russian podcaster, Lex Fridman.
Kanye is asked about his thoughts on the Holocaust, the liberal left in America, race relations, and a number of other topics.
The rap mogul claims that abortions in the black community were just as bad as the Nazi Holocaust. "A Jewish friend told me to visit the Holocaust museum. My response was, 'Come visit our holocaust. It's called 'Planned Parenthood." When the host points out that the Holocaust was "different" due to its scale and atrocities committed to defenseless women and children, Kanye retorts that the only difference is the "size" of the killings before claiming that "African Americans are also Jewish" and that "20 million blacks get murdered in their mothers' stomachs every year."
Kanye appears to blame the abortions of black babies on the "Jewish media." "Soros would use black-trauma economy to win an election," he says, seemingly connecting the sorrow faced by black families to left-wing Jewish propaganda before repeating the claim that he's a "Jew" himself, since, "All people came from Africa."
The celebrity rapper follows this up by insinuating that Jewish suffering is accentuated by our immersion in self-pity. "When bambi's mother dies...off that pain comes a purchase of ice-cream,' off that pain comes 'I need more toys,' off that pain comes 'I want a bigger house..,'" he says.
"Fifty percent of black people get killed by abortion...That's genocide and population control that is promoted by the music and media that black people make and Jewish people and record labels get paid for," continues the artist now known as "Ye", again suggesting that Jews are responsible for the murder of millions of black Americans.
In now-deleted tweets in early October, West, who has recently renamed himself and now goes by "Ye", threatened to go "death con 3 on the Jews", following this up by claiming that he can't be antisemitic "because black people are actually Jew."
"You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda," continued West.
The Black Israelites cult, with a large following in the Israeli city of Dimona known as Black Hebrews, as well as black supremacists consider themselves the "true" descendants of the Biblical Israelites. Based on Ye's statements, some have suggested the rapper either associates with the Black Hebrews or has bought into antisemitic propaganda.
After being removed from Instagram, Ye tweeted: "Who do you think is responsible for cancel culture," in another possible dig at the Jewish people.
