Kanye West is once again stirring controversy — this time with a new song that openly embraces antisemitic and Nazi imagery.
The track, titled “World War 3,” was shared by the rapper on Saturday, March 15, via X (formerly Twitter). Initially, he posted a short preview of the track but quickly deleted it. Later that day, he returned to post the full version.
In the song, Kanye raps disturbing lines like:
“Rocking swastikas ’cause all my n-ggas Nazis,”
“They’re telling me that I’m a bully / I’m antisemitic, fully,”
“Reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ two chapters before I go to sleep.”
The track also references moments from his personal life:
“Went to the dentist and got me some nitrous / Went to the dentist and put in some diamonds,”
“They just don’t understand me / I’m the n-gga that’s gonna urinate on Grammys.”
Kanye has openly said he’s embracing an “antisemitic sound,” claiming it’s a new artistic direction. He even recently stated, “My new sound called antisemitic.”
Kanye Defends Nazism in Bizarre Social Media Rant
Shortly after dropping the song, Kanye took to X with even more shocking posts. In one, he attempted to justify identifying with Nazism, comparing it to bisexuality:
“IF A BISEXUAL CAN F**K BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WHY CAN’T I BE A NAZI THAT LOVED JEWS.”
He added:
“I want to make it very hard for people to get money with me or off of me. That’s one of the things I love about the swastika — it’s the ‘get the f*** away from me’ sign.”
Another post read: “I’m offensive ’cause I’m on offense.”
Kanye’s Obsession with Nazi Imagery Escalates
Kanye’s obsession with Nazi symbolism has been escalating for weeks. He’s been spotted wearing a swastika T-shirt, hinted at turning the symbol into a chain, and claimed his upcoming album “Bully” will push an “antisemitic sound.”
He’s even claimed he’ll wear a swastika T-shirt while performing at the Super Bowl next year — though most believe there’s no chance the NFL will allow him to perform amid his ongoing controversies.
Despite massive backlash and criticism, Kanye seems committed to pushing his extreme views and using shock tactics to alienate the industry.
