Kanye West has escalated his pattern of antisemitic rhetoric with the release of a new song featuring inflammatory lyrics. In World War 3, which he shared on X on March 15, he raps, “Rocking swastikas ’cause all my n-ggas Nazis.” The track, laden with disturbing references, further cements his descent into open bigotry. West initially posted a one-minute snippet before deleting it, only to later upload the full version. The song aligns with his recent statements, including his claim that his “new sound” is “antisemitic.” Other lyrics reinforce his stance: “They’re telling me that I’m a bully / I’m antisemitic, fully” and “Reading Mein Kampf, two chapters before I go to sleep.” The references leave little room for ambiguity about his intentions.
Beyond its hateful rhetoric, the track also touches on personal anecdotes. He raps about a visit to the dentist—“Went to the dentist and got me some nitrous / Went to the dentist and put in some diamonds”—and revisits his infamous Grammy protest: “They just don’t understand me / I’m the n-gga that’s gonna urinate on Grammys.” These self-referential moments blend with his broader provocations, creating a disturbing mix of personal grievances and extremist ideology.
