Kanye West has added a new award to his collection: “Antisemite of the Year.” The award is given out by watchdog StopAntisemitism — the “leading non-partisan U.S. based organization, fighting and exposing antisemitism.”
“Congrats Kanye West, disgraced rapper and fashion mogul, for being voted the 2022 Antisemite of the Year!” the site mocked in a video. “Kanye West’s threats of violence, hateful conduct, and hate speech all led to him winning this year’s title. Mazel Tov Kanye West for propagating the most Jew-hatred in 2022 and winning this year’s award.”
West competed against Amnesty International’s Agnes Callamard, real estate developer Mohamed Hadid and white supremacist Jon Minadeo II.
West has gone through a blistering year.
