Whitesplainer Sarah Silverman Dragged For Insinuating Black Twitter Condones Kanye West Anti-Semitism
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: D Dipasupil / Getty Sarah Silverman did it to herself. The vocal comedian and activist took to Twitter to insinuate that Black people, or at least Black Twitter, was being silent about the anti-Semitic rhetoric Kanye West has been accused of hurling—and she was quickly and curtly course-corrected for her tomfoolery. In case you’ve been unaware, Kanye West found himself placed on pause by first Instagram and then Twitter for what many say is anti-Semitic commentary. It started with him claiming Jews were who told Diddy to holla at him and then he said he was straight going to “Death Con 3” on Jews, after he gets some sleep. That said, the Black Twitter delegation has been flaming Kanye West since he moment he dropped those bombs, and before, and for ...

Kanye West Says He’s Going Death Con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE, After He Gets Some Sleep
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West is continuing to spiral and unfortunately, mostly for him, the Internet is keeping all the receipts. After getting silenced on his favorite social media platform of choice, Instagram, Ye returned to Twitter, and on Saturday evening (Oct. 9), he revealed plans to come for Jewish people. But before we get to that impending struggle, as for why he got paused on Instagram in the first place, it was due to the back and forth texts he shared between himself and Sean “Diddy” Combs where he seemed to go Anti-Semitic or Anti-Jewish, allegedly. “Look at this Mark,” Ye wrote on Twitter along with an old photo of him and Meta’s head honcho Mark Zuckerberg. “How you gone kick me off Instagram.” Quite easily, obviously.

Kanye West’s Tucker Carlson Interview Even More Bonkers Than Expected, MAGA Twitter Excited
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Stephane Cardinale – Corbis / Getty Kanye West is spiraling, and we say that with all due respect. The self-proclaiming genius and proxy for White Supremacy was interviewed by FOX News’ racist host Tucker Carlson, and the results were even zanier and crazier than anyone who has been paying attention could have expected. TMZ first reported that Ye had landed in Los Angeles straight from Paris and made a beeline for Carlson’s office. The interview was of course to discuss the White Lives Matter shirt that he claims has him at a loss for the adverse reactions it spawned.

On Thursday (Oct. 6), adidas announced that due to the rapper and designer’s recent displays of animus (to put it nicely) to the brand, it’s putting their partnership “under review.” For the last couple of weeks, Ye has been barking on the brand for what he considers disrespect towards him in regards to the direction of his Yeezy sneaker line and collection. After accusing the brand of everything from stealing his ideas, to having a hand in manufacturing bootlegs to creating “Yeezy Day” without his approval, adidas addressed the slander in the statement it shared.
