On Friday, the rapper posted screenshots of his conversation with Diddy surrounding the "White Lives Matter" T-shirt controversy. In one of the messages, the Donda creator was seen saying: “I didn’t like our convo. I’m selling these tees. Nobody gets in between me and my money. This is my grandfather texting you now.” In response, Diddy proposed to meet the rapper in person: “As soon as I land we’ll meet face to face!!! Send me a address.” He further added: “N**** send me a address. Let’s stop playing these internet games. And don’t feel threatened. You’ll be fine. Just love.” Kanye West's conversation with Diddy (Image via Kanye West/Instagram) However, Ye replied to Diddy, hinting towards a conspiracy theory, claiming that Jews manipulated the latter against the rapper: “This ain’t a game. Ima use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me. I told you this was war. Now gone get you some business. [sic]” Diddy attempted to explain to Ye that his actions are hurting people, especially the African-American community, but the latter maintained his stance and said he would publicly share all text messages coming from the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker. ADL@ADLThe behavior exhibited this week by @kanyewest is deeply troubling, dangerous, and antisemitic, period. There is no excuse for his propagating of white supremacist slogans and classic #antisemitism about Jewish power, especially with the platform he has.914222The behavior exhibited this week by @kanyewest is deeply troubling, dangerous, and antisemitic, period. There is no excuse for his propagating of white supremacist slogans and classic #antisemitism about Jewish power, especially with the platform he has. Prior to his conversation with Diddy, Kanye West was already accused of anti-Semitism for his comments on Jared Kushner in a Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson. Speaking to Carlson, Ye accused Kushner of making money through his efforts in the Middle East and the facilitation of the Abraham Accords when he served as a White House advisor during the Trump administration: “I just think that's what they're about, is making money. I don't think that they have the ability to make anything on their own. I think they were born into money.” Kanye West’s latest comments sparked major outrage online and received criticism from the likes of the Anti-Defamation League and the StopAntisemitism group.

I think they were born into money.” https://t.co/orkP31IJYz Rez also said that despite Ye being open about his mental health struggles, it “gives him zero excuses” to share “baseless and confusing messages about Jews,” in a time when “anti-Semitism has been set ablaze across America.” She also added: “Furthermore, his language about influence taps into an age-old antisemitic myth and stereotype about Jewish control. I don't think he understands when his wording is problematic, but we hope he deletes the Instagram posts.” The director also mentioned that Jews already have “enough issues” and Kanye West should refrain from “furthering any type of negativity and hatred.” Although Ye deleted his Instagram posts, it remains to be seen if he will address and respond to the anti-Semitism controversy in the days to come.
