In the most recent Kanye West scandal, the renowned Chicago rapper made headlines for donning a mask associated with the infamous white supremacist group, the Ku Klux Klan, during the listening party for his collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, “Vultures,” held at Miami’s Wynwood Marketplace on December 12.

During the performance, the artist behind hits like “Power” wore a hood reminiscent of the extremist group, and the incident was streamed live online.

Interestingly, this mask stunt follows a previous controversy in which Kanye West sparked outrage last year by wearing a White Lives Matter shirt and making several antisemitic remarks.
Adding to the controversy, the 46-year-old’s latest track, “Vultures,” faced criticism from Jewish organizations for alleged antisemitic lyrics, particularly the line: “How am I antisemitic? I just had relations with a Jewish individual.”
On a different note, numerous prominent artists, including Offset, Lil Durk, Chris Brown, Kodak Black, Freddie Gibbs, and his daughter North, joined Kanye and Ty on stage for the album’s listening party.
