Jack Antonoff addresses Kanye West's antisemitic posts at Bleachers show: "I would just do anything to not wake up and hear about Kanye"
Jack Antonoff responded to Kanye West's antisemitic social media posts during a Bleachers show on Sunday (9 October), saying he "would just do anything to not wake up and hear about Kanye".
On Sunday (9 October) Kanye West, aka Ye, was locked out of his Twitter account for violating Twitter's policies after posting an antisemitic tweet, and prior to Jack Antonoff tweeting: "Kanye a lil bitch," he addressed Ye's antisemitic posts during a Bleachers live show in Columbia, Missouri.
"I'm Jewish, and we take a lot of pride in our basketball skill," Antonoff said. "You know what I'm saying, Columbia, Missouri? Don’t fuck with us until we roll our ankle in the platform Docs. And then still don’t fuck with us. Kanye, don’t fuck with us. Everything about that little bitch misses. See, when Bowie went through the fascism phase, right? It's dicey shit, but the motherfucker’s making some of the best records that ever happened. Kanye’s so far from good work, just, what do we do besides tell him to get the fuck out of here?"
He added, "That is not to say that I dig antisemitism or bigotry from people making good records. But the difference between the man on my block who just yells shit at me and some other asshole is that he doesn't make good records, the man on my block. If he did, and he’s like, "What’s up, four eyes?" - he yells "four-eyes" at me sometimes, which I think is antisemitic, I don’t know why - but I'd be like, "What a piece of shit," and then I'd be like, "But what a strange being, making these records that I love." But this motherfucker’s just… You know, you gotta think about space nowadays. Infinite space. Everybody’s taking up space. I would just do anything to not wake up and hear about Kanye, especially not much about the fucking Jews, man. That’s just a Jewish person from New Jersey who plays basketball and takes a lot of pride in shutting the fuck up and playing the show."
