Chris Brown has taken to his Instagram to address the recent accusations of antisemitism that have surfaced in connection with his appearance in a video featuring Kanye West’s new song with Ty Dolla $ign, “Vultures.”
In the song, West raps, “How I’m antisemitic? I just fcked a Jewish btch.” Brown was seen dancing to the song during a trip to Dubai with West.
In a since-deleted Instagram Story post, Brown vehemently asserted his stance, stating, “LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR BEFORE YALL TRY TO USE ME AS A PAWN… IMA PIRU, I AINT MUSLIM OR JEWISH so don’t start no sht wont be no sht!!! IM TRYING TO BE PEACEFUL BUT PLEASE DO NOT WAKE UP THE DEMON IN ME! GO ON ABOUT YOUR F*CKING DAY.”
He further emphasized his position in a post that remains on his page, writing, “IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM AM I ANTISEMETIC!!! IM PRO LIFE AND I MAKE MUSIC FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD! !! !! ! So please do Not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it!” In an Instagram Story, he added, “This is for the millions of young kids that look up to and may be confused.”
These accusations come in the wake of similar controversies surrounding Kanye West, who faced condemnation for offensive remarks in 2022, leading to the loss of business partnerships with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga.
As the situation unfolds, fans and observers will be keenly watching for further developments and responses from both Chris Brown and Kanye West.
