Kanye West Cut Off During ‘Vultures’ Listening Event Amid ‘Antisemite’ Lyric

Kanye West‘s listening social gathering occasion — the place he debuted his new album — apparently had somebody with a bleep button monitoring, which they used on the first signal of antisemitism.

The rapper was in Chicago Thursday night time and internet hosting a efficiency at United Heart — principally utilizing the present to trot out all his new songs on ‘Vultures,’ which he did not launch digitally to the lots … however which everybody within the constructing acquired to listen to dwell.

Ye went by way of his set listing rockin’ his Jason Voorhees masks … and whereas he cruised by way of every observe, he ultimately landed on one the place he explicitly talked about his antisemitism — and it seems the platform he was utilizing to stream this was fast to censor him.

Test it out … Kanye raps, “And I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite // And I’m still the king.” Nearly a second after that final lyrics — the feed on Veeps (the streaming service he opted for to hold his dwell gig) lower to black and went silent … suggesting somebody did it purposely.

That is what individuals on-line are speculating anyway … specifically, that Ye and Veeps would possibly’ve had some settlement beforehand that gave them the proper to chop his showcase at a second’s discover for objectionable content material — and, presumably, that is what occurred right here.

As for the remainder of the live performance … fairly customary. KW was up there performing alongside Ty Dolla $ign as they went by way of the ‘Vultures’ tracklist. His daughter, North, acquired onstage too and carried out her verse on ‘Speaking/As soon as Once more.’ And sure, the place seemed comparatively packed.

There was one different fascinating second that stood out from the present … Ye in contrast himself to “canceled” celebs — and particularly name-dropped Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, and Diddy.

Like we stated, ‘Vultures’ did not find yourself releasing on any main streaming platforms — so his followers that weren’t there have been left disenchanted but once more. It is unclear if he’ll truly drop it.
