Madame Tussaud Removes Kanye West’s Wax Figure, Peloton Removes His Music
Kanye West is no longer an admirable figure as he continues to spout antisemitic rhetoric, which is why Madame Tussauds removed his wax figure from its London location. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, a spokesperson for the wax museum announced Wednesday that “Ye’s figure has been retired from the attraction floor to our archive. Each profile earns their place at Madame Tussauds London and we listen to our guests and the public on who they expect to see at the attraction.” Kanye has been dropped by a number of business partners (and even his lawyer) since he began a serious slide into fascism this month. After wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt with Candace Owens at Paris Fashion Week and tweeting that he was going to go “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” the rapper made unsavory comm...

Stupidity Is A Choice: Ye Says “He Doesn’t Believe In The Term” Antisemitism
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jason Davis / Getty In more Ye news, the coon in boots has added a new hot take to his growing list of tomfoolery, claiming that antisemitism is not real. Linking up with ex-CNN host Chris Cuomo who now has another show on the NewsNation, from his vehicle, the problematic hyphenate had a lot more stupidy to get off his mind. Among the topics discussed was Ye’s recent acquisition of Parler, the right-wing cesspool disguised as a social media platform, and his antisemitic statements. “I don’t like the term antisemitic,” West loudly and wrongly said when asked at the 4:30 mark in the interview about his insanely troubling comments about Jewish people. “It’s been a term that’s allowed people, specifically in my industry, to get away with murder—sometimes lite...

Wiley Somewhat Apologizes For Antisemitic Tweets, Permanently Banned From Twitter
Source: Joseph Okpako / Getty Wiley, known as the “Godfather of Grime” in the UK, has been embroiled in controversy after sharing a series of antisemitic messages on Twitter. After a suspension and eventual ban from the social media network, Wiley has addressed the matter but seemingly isn’t distancing himself from some of the more explosive comments. In a sitdown with Sky News, Wiley, real name Richard Cowie Jr., spoke about what he framed as “generalizing” when it came to his comments, which led to a falling out with his Jewish manager. By way of a recent interview, the 41-year-old artist isn’t necessarily backing down from his stances that members of the Jewish community within the music industry are pulling the strings and, in Wiley’s view, responsible for systemic racism. “I just want...

According to Variety the U.K. rapper went on an antisemitic Twitter tirade over the weekend in which he compared the Jewish community to the Ku Klux Klan (huh?) and suggested that Jewish people are given preferred treatment when they’re locked up in prison.
