I’m bipolar, crazy, antisemite and still king’ – Kanye West brags after his concert sells out in 7 minutes
Kanye West has bragged about still being on top of the music game, barely a year after he was dragged and later “cancelled” for making Antisemitic slurs in several social media posts and interviews.
During Thursday’s listening party for his new “vultures ” album at the United Center in Chicago, West debuted his new songs for a packed crowd while wearing all black with a Jason Voorhees mask.
In one track, he rapped, “And I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite/And I’m still the king.”
Almost immediately after the Grammy winner, 46, uttered the word “king,” the stream went black and silent.
It is unclear if the act was done purposely due to West’s controversial history of antisemitism or a coincidence.
However, the livestream eventually resumed, giving viewers a chance to see appearances by Ye’s collaborator Ty Dolla $ign and 10-year-old daughter, North, aka Miss Westie.
The event came few days after Kanye took to Instagram to plead for help booking venues after his antisemitic rants.
“I have not been allowed to perform in a year,” he wrote in a now-deleted post.
“Feels like the Elvis Presley movie.”
West said he was only able to confirm a booking at the United Center, which is in his hometown, Chicago.
“We just sold out the United Center in seven minutes, and I just want to express to everybody out there to see if it’s anyone that can help with this. It’s the only arena that I had access to in the past year,” he said in a now-deleted video message Tuesday.
