Kanye West is being slammed by critics for his new track, which has been called “antisemitic.”
His latest single, “Vultures,” was released Wednesday and has already met with substantial backlash. He had a surprise performance of the song while on vacation in Dubai on Sunday night.
West is also being criticized for dancing to the song with Chris Brown, Bump J and Ty Dolla Sign, who collaborated on the song with him.
During this trip, he and his wife Bianca Censori reunited as she had briefly traveled to Australia to visit her family.
Censori carried a large stuffed animal and wore a large fur hat to the event.
The video shows the group rocking out during West’s controversial line: “How I’m antisemitic? I just f—– a Jewish b—-.”

Royce 5’9″ unveiled a jarring new video for his song “Over Comer” that chronicles the rise of a young rapper and clearly alludes to the story of Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Directed by Cricket, the “Over Comer” video cuts between footage of Royce and rapper Westside Gunn performing the sprawling rap ballad and scenes depicting the tumultuous come-up of a young musician. While the musician’s story starts simply at a piano, he’s soon getting into a back alley brawl, while a studio session ends in his kidnapping. In the video’s final scene,...

Kanye West's feature on CyHi the Prynce's is not Yeezy's return to music, even though lots of people think it is. The song "Dat Side" dropped Tuesday, and it sure looked like Kanye's reentry. But sources tell TMZ ... he recorded the song in September 2016 -- 2 months before he abruptly canceled his Saint Pablo Tour and ended up hospitalized for a mental breakdown. On the surface the verse seems to be a clap back...

Kanye West often collaborates with fresh faces. Whether giving album looks to G.O.O.D. Music signees Kid Cudi and Cyhi The Prynce early in their careers, or shining a light on Chicago like he did with Lupe Fiasco on Late Registration and King L and Chief Keef on Yeezus, ’Ye keeps young blood around.

Since 2004, Kanye West has owned and operated his own record label, G.O.O.D. Music. The Def Jam imprint has churned a number of hits (including those from Common, John Legend, and Big Sean), but it hasn't been without any strife. One of the label's least known rappers, CyHi the Prynce, has aired out the label's dirty laundry in a new song, "Elephant in the Room," in which he calls out Kanye by name for being an absentminded boss. (CyHi has reportedly been dropped from Def Jam.) The song begins with a fed-up fan asking, "What the fuck is Kanye doing?" to which CyHi responds with a litany of grievances directed at his label's founder: "Hey, Ye, do you know what it feel like to really be signed to you in real life?" he begins. He starts off exasperated, wondering, "Why wasn't I on the cover of Complex?" (a...

Kanye West knocks Mitt Romney in the first song off Cruel Summer, the highly anticipated G.O.O.D. Music compilation album due in stores on Tuesday.
"I'm just trying to protect my stacks / Mitt Romney don't pay no tax," West raps on "To The World," a song which also features R. Kelly. The lyric is an obvious reference to Romney's low tax rate and refusal to release a substantive number of tax returns.
Nicki Minaj also mentioned Romney in a song. On her and Lil Wayne's cover of "Mercy," Minaj raps that she was voting for the Gop hopeful ("I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney / You lazy b----es is f---ing up the economy"). Suspicions that Minaj was being sarcastic were confirmed by none other than Barack Obama, who was asked about the song in an interview and said that Minaj was playing a character. The rapper confirmed Obama's...

Kanye West certainly knows how to get press. A few short hours after it was revealed that he wouldn't be attending the MTV Video Music Awards, the rapper drops a helluva distraction: "Clique," his new single with Jay-z and Big Sean.
The song -- which was teased in a leaked snippet -- is off Cruel Summer, the upcoming G.O.O.D. Music compilation. It's produced by Hit-Boy, so it's no surprise that the drums have indeed showed up in full force.
Notable lyrics: Kanye bragging about Kim's sex tape (with Ray-j...), bragging about hanging out with former CIA director George Tenet, Jay-z mean-mugging snitches, Big Sean not sleeping for nine days, Big Sean shouting out 2 Chainz for no reason (no reason is needed!).
The song debuted on Kanye's website and was dropped by Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex as well.
Here's the full tracklist for Cruel Summer, due in stores Sept.

A snippet of a track off Cruel Summer has made its way online. TMZ posted clip of "Clique," a track which also features Big Sean and Jay-z. 'Ye is heard rapping about eating breakfast at Gucci, "American Idol," the CIA, George Tenet and Maybachs.
But one line in particular stands out: "Eat breakfast at Gucci. My girl a superstar all from a home movie."
It's a reference to Kanye's ever-present girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who became famous after an amateur sex tape featuring her and singer Ray-j was leaked online. Apparently, Kanye's love for Kim is so strong that he doesn't mind the fact that she became a national figure for sleeping with one of his peers.
"Clique" was among the songs revealed in a new tracklist for Cruel Summer. The heavily anticipated compilation from the G.O.O.D. Music team will feature 12 songs, including the previously released "Mercy," "Cold...
