Disturbed frontman David Draiman has slammed Kanye West for his recent remarks that caused controversy among his fans.
Draiman took to Instagram to send his message to the rapper. “Hey Kanye West, Go f*ck yourself,” he wrote in the caption.
The singer then explained his reasoning: “I’ve tirelessly defended those who suffer from mental illness, but there’s no defending YOU or your hate mongering bullsh*t. You’re just another deranged Jew hating, misogynistic, pathetic waste of life’s breath. Am Yisrael Chai btw… Asshole.”
The rapper has been in many controversies, particularly in the last few days. On February 8, he shared antisemitic now-deleted posts on X.
In his posts, Kanye called himself a Nazi, and claimed antisemitism was “just some bullsh*t Jewish people made up to protect their bullsh*t.”
He added, “Any Jewish person that does business with me needs to know I don’t like or trust any Jewish person and this is completely sober with no hennesy. I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments.”
Ye caused controversy again by commenting on his wife Bianca Censori’s see-through dress for the Grammy Awards. He said, “I have dominion over my wife this ain’t no woke as feminist sh*t. People say the red carpet look was her decision yes I don’t make her do nothing she doesn’t want to but she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my approval.”
In another post, he made some more antisemitic comments, saying he enjoys it when Jewish people tell him they can’t work with him. He also claimed, “I’m a user I only have people around me that are useful if you can’t be used then you’re useless.”
His recent comments came after Ye lost several brand partnerships and professional opportunities due to his antisemitic comments in 2022. He was banned but returned to Twitter after Elon Musk took over, only to be suspended again. He was reinstated in 2023 when Twitter became X.
During this time, Ye also dined with Donald Trump and Nick Fuentes, a Holocaust denier, at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
