Kanye West has once again spoken out about his current string of controversies, offering somewhat of an apology for his incendiary comments on the death of George Floyd while continuing to defend his recent displays of antisemitism. READ MORE: With his “White Lives Matter” stunt, has Kanye West finally hit the point of no return? On Friday night (October 28), West was approached by a group of paparazzi, one of whom noted to the rapper that “antisemitic statements are never really good for anybody”. Addressing that statement, West responded: “I didn’t realise that I could be considered antisemitic until I read one of the definitions of antisemitism… I didn’t realise that it was antisemitic to say, ‘Hey, you know, I have a Jewish attorney. I have a Jewish record label. I have a Jewish contractor…’” West then challenged the notion that he should be “walking back” his antisemitism. Alluding to his support for the conspiracy theory that the Jewish people are in control of the media, he pointed to an infographic that identifies Jewish executives at companies like Disney and MSNBC. Asked if he felt that such executives had “stuck together when they heard” West’s comments, the rapper explained that he’d “had… Read More →

Soccer Mommy celebrates Halloween with ‘Sophie’s Version’ demo of ‘Darkness Forever’

Soccer Mommy (aka Sophie Allison) has shared a demo version of the song ‘Darkness Forever’, which she’s nodded to Taylor Swift by dubbing it ‘Sophie’s Version’.
