Kanye West has continued his run of antisemitic statements by releasing a new song where he claims he’s “rocking swastikas ’cause all my n-ggas Nazis.”
The track, called “World War 3,” was shared by the rapper on Saturday (March 15) via X. He initially posted an excerpt of just over a minute of the song, then deleted it. Later in the day, he posted a full version. The subject matter is in line with what he’s been promising, as he recently stated: “My new sound called antisemitic.”
Among the song’s lyrics, in addition to the line quoted above, are: “They’re telling me that I’m a bully/I’m antisemitic, fully” and “Reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ two chapters before I go to sleep.”
It also references some events in West’s life, saying “Went to the dentist and got me some nitrous/Went to the dentist and put in some diamonds” and “They just don’t understand me/I’m the n-gga that’s gonna urinate on Grammys.”
The song can be found here.
The song comes shortly after West attempted to defend his recent embrace of Nazism by comparing it to bisexuality.
In a series of bizarre posts on X, the rap legend wrote: “IF A BISEXUAL CAN FUCK BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WHY CANT I BE A NAZI THAT LOVED JEWS.”
He continued: “I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET MONEY WITH ME OR OFF OF ME THATS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE SWASTIKA ITS THAT ALL VULTURES GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME SIGN.”
Ye then put: “IM OFFENSIVE CAUSE IM ON OFFENSE.”
Kanye West has been frequently posting about Nazism and antisemitism ever since his explosive return to social media last month.
In recent weeks, he has been spotted wearing a swastika T-shirt, teased getting a chain of the offensive symbol and claimed that his upcoming album Bully will have an “antisemitic sound.”
He has even declared that he will wear a swastika T-shirt while performing at next year’s Super Bowl, but given his increasingly controversial comments and behavior, it is highly unlikely that the NFL will give him the gig.
Despite the continued backlash to his views, Kanye recently attempted to justify his use of the swastika, which he admitted has been a long time in the making.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
