A new video of Kanye West has gone viral online, showing the rapper calling pro-Palestinian supporters as “programmed” and comparing them to those who opposed US President Donald Trump.
Speaking in a heated tone, West says, “You n***s don’t know about Palestine, you don’t give a f***k about it. The media made you give a f***k about it, and it’s s**t you just put up on your motherf***n’ timeline.”
The clip has sparked fierce backlash on social media, with many calling out West for dismissing genuine activism and using offensive language.
Supporters of Palestine and others accused the rapper of minimising the suffering in Gaza and reducing it to a social media trend.
This comes after the rapper who addresses himself as Ye gets his Australian Visa revoked after controversy on the back of his “Heil Hitler” song.
Kanye, who is married to Australian architect Bianca Censori, has longstanding ties to Australia and was a frequent visitor before the decision.
The move is the latest in a series of recent entry bans imposed by the Australian government, including those targeting pro-Israel influencer Hillel Fuld last month and U.S. conservative commentator Candace Owens in October.
