After a video showed him partying with Kanye West in Abu Dhabi while listening to his controversial new song "Vultures," Chris Brown has responded to accusations of anti-Semitism.
"IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM AM I ANTISEMETIC!!!" Brown wrote on his Instagram Stories after some accused him of being prejudiced towards Jewish people. "IM PRO LIFE AND I MAKE MUSIC FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!! So please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it! This [is] for the millions of young kids that look up to [me] and [might] be confused."
In a clip that recently circulated on social media, Brown was seen rapping along to Ye and Ty Dolla Sign's "Vultures." Specifically, the videos showed him reciting the most controversial line in the song.
"How I'm anti-semitic, I just fucked a Jewish bitch," Ye raps on the song. Previously, the multi-hyphenate was widely criticized after he praised Hitler during an interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Before sharing the message denying any prejudice, Brown posted and deleted other responses to the criticism. "Let me make this perfectly clear before y'all try to use me as a pawn," he wrote, identifying with the Bloods, per XXL. "Ima a Piru, I aint Muslim or Jewish so don't start no shit won't be no shit!!! Im trying to be peaceful but please do not wake up the demon in me! Go on about your fucking day."
Some notable critics included Jewish businesswoman and self-identified Zionist Tanya Zuckerbrot, who called Brown and Ye "sick, masochistic, antisemitic fucks."
