Ice Cube has taken to Twitter to refute comments made by Kanye West in an interview linking the rapper to West’s antisemitic views.In an appearance on the Drink Champs podcast – in which he made several inflammatory statements, and which has since been taken down from online platforms – West referenced Cube multiple times. At one point, West claimed that Cube had “really influenced” him to “get on this antisemite vibe”.West has made a slew of antisemitic comments over the past weeks. A post directed at the Jewish community led to West being suspended from Instagram and later Twitter, where he wrote that he “[would be] going death con 3 [sic] On JEWISH PEOPLE”.West’s comments were criticised by the likes of David Schwimmer, John Legend, Jack Antonoff and KISS‘ Paul Stanley.

Kanye West, after the rapper made inflammatory comments about Floyd’s death in an interview.In May of 2020, Floyd – a Black man who at the time was living in Minneapolis – was killed following an altercation with a white police officer. Emerging shortly after his death, distressing footage showed Floyd being restrained on a sidewalk by officer Derek Chauvin, who placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes.Despite Floyd’s continued pleas that he couldn’t breathe, Chauvin continued to apply pressure to Floyd’s neck. A lack of oxygen caused brain damage, heart failure and eventually death.

Despite Floyd’s continued pleas that he couldn’t breathe, Chauvin continued to apply pressure to Floyd’s neck. A lack of oxygen caused brain damage, heart failure and eventually death.In April 2021, Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of Floyd and he was sentenced to 21 years in prison.Now, in a new appearance on Drink Champs podcast, West has claimed that Floyd died from “Fentanyl” and said that a police officer’s knee “wasn’t even on his neck like that.” West made the comments while discussing Candace Owens’s documentary The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM.“They hit him with the fentanyl, if you look the guys knew wasn’t even on his neck like that,” West claimed.He went on to compare Floyd to designer Virgil Abloh, who died from cancer last November before going on to attack the “Jewish media” who he claims “blocked” him.“Tell me could you even rally run this interview? Mav (Maverick Carter) didn’t even run my interview, they blocked me out, the Jewish media blocked me out.

Kanye West‘s recent anti-Semetic remarks as “stupidities”, adding that Israel has “dealt with bigger problems”.The former prime minister of Israel who now serves as the country’s opposition leader suggested in a new interview that West’s comments recall racist tropes against Jewish people that “shouldn’t have any place in civilised discourse”.Speaking to US political pundit Bill Maher on his HBO show Real Time on Friday (October 14) who asked him if Israel will take action over Ye, Netanyahu responded with a laugh: “We’ve dealt with bigger problems than these stupidities.”He continued: “But, you know, the communists blame the Jews for being capitalists, the capitalists blame the Jews for being communists.“You have a problem, blame the Jews. It’s old stuff.

Kanye West was stopped outside of Candace Owens’ new documentary screening on Wednesday night (October 12) in Nashville, Tenn.
