Elsewhere in the song he appears to slam his former manager Scooter Braun (“I just fucked Scooter’s bitch”) and namechecks the Columbine shooting.

West’s career fully derailed after a hateful and bizarre appearance on Alex Jones’ “Infowars” talk show in December, in which he praised Hitler and made antisemitic jokes about Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It capped a multi-month media blitz filled with antisemitic comments which got him kicked off of Twitter, caused Adidas to end their business relationship with him, CAA to drop him as a client and MRC axing a planned documentary about him. West said last October that he lost $2 billion in one day because of his hate speech.

Ty Dolla Sign recently spoke out about his collaboration with West, revealing that they’re working on a collaborative full-length album.

“I just landed on a flight from Saudi Arabia,” Ty said, as reported by Complex. “I’ve been out there recording a part of my album with my brother Ye, and that’s coming real soon.”
