Kanye West is getting a massive backlash once again, though he manages to keep himself up in the highlights of the news always for creating or being part of a controversy. This time he is facing criticism for wearing a black hood similar to those who are associated with the Ku Klux Klan to his “Vultures” album listing party.

During the concert, dubbed the Vultures Rave, the American artist played a few tracks that have been roaming around here and there on X (formerly known as Twitter) over the past few days, including the Backstreet Boys’ “Everybody” and the earlier leaked “New Body” featuring Nicki Minaj.
North West, Kanye’s and Kim Kardashian’s eldest daughter raps on the upcoming track, “I love it here, we gonna take over the year for another year,”
“Beautiful, big-tittied women don’t just fall out of the sky, you know,” a phrase was repeated by North throughout the soundtrack.

The rapper rapped during the song, “I ain’t antisemitic / I just f—ed a Jewish b—-,” adding to his antisemitic controversial statements from late 2022.
One user commented, “Kanye wearing a KKK hood and Black people are sitting idly by. F–k him and his music bro,” Moreover, another one left saying, “This isn’t the first time Kanye doing a reference about the kkk, why are y’all shocked,”

A third person remarked, “Just a remark that Kanye West is a[n] anti semite. He hates the Jews and wants them dead. He abuses women. He is a disgusting human being,”
Another fan shot down all the allegations that North was genuinely fighting against white supremacist ideals as he wore the hood, writing, “Kanye is at his listening party full of rapists and abusers after his full year of antisemitism and his fans want me to believe that him wearing a pointy hood is to convey a positive message.”

In the meantime, another one claimed, “North looks so uncomfortable with Kanye wearing a KKK mask,” continued adding, “Get her off the stage bro.”

Well, this is not the first time the ‘I Wonder’ artist has incorporated KKK imagery in his work. The music video for his ‘Black Skinhead’ of 2013 stylized as ‘BLKK SKKKN HEAD’ on a platform like YouTube, also features illustrations of the same black hoods.
Regardless of the scandals surrounding him, the forty-six-year-old rapper’s latest music is being honored with excitement and appreciation on the internet. The album is all set to drop on Friday. Along with his family, plenty of other immensely talented rappers including Ty Dolla $ign, Offset, Playboi, Lil Durk, Carti, Chris Brown, and Kodak Black were also there at the party.
