It does seem like Kanye West, avowed antisemite and Hitler lover, is dropping an album tonight.
It’s called “Vultures.” The video is out from director Jon Rafman, who I told you about recently. Rafman is Jewish, which is awful enough considering West’s statements and actions against Jews. Rafman was also accused on social media of such serious sexual misconduct that the New York Times reported the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC cancelled his show in 2020. (Two other museums cancelled shows also. Currently Rafman does have projects at other Canadian galleries.)
Tomorrow night, West has rented the UBS Arena near Belmont Park for a listening party. So far, few tickets have sold. They average $273 apiece.
Will all this happen? Will anyone show up? Will his wife show up, naked? Does anyone care at this point? Not much. All that blue is unsold so far. My guess is they just give away the rest to fill the arena.
PS The show is destined to begin very late. So everyone can sue Kanye the way they did Madonna!
