Kanye West stokes controversy in black Ku Klux Klan style hood on stage after being slammed for anti-Semitic lyrics - as daughter North, 10, also performs at his listening event in Miami

Kanye West wore a black Ku Klux Klan type hood in his latest attempt to shock just weeks after being slammed for antisemitic lyrics during a listening event where 10-year-old daughter North joined him on stage.

The 46-year-old artist put on a fabric head covering featuring a point at the top at an overnight listening event with collaborator Ty Dolla Sign in Miami early Tuesday morning as they performed their controversial track Vultures which features vile lyrics about a Jewish woman.

Vultures features the 'offensive' lyrics: 'How am I anti-Semitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b****.'

This is not the first time that Kanye has worn a black hood reminiscent as he sported one at the beginning of his music video for BLKKK SKKKN HEAD in 2013

The Runaway hitmaker was also joined on stage by daughter North who performed a verse confirming that she is going to be in the upcoming album Vultures which is set to be released Friday. ...

This comes weeks after Kanye was slammed by Jewish organizations who branded him 'pathetic and sad' over vile lyrics about a Jewish woman in his latest song.

The lyrics prompted a furious backlash among some fans at the time and has now prompted condemnation from the American Jewish Committee among others.

'To fuel the flames of antisemitism and promote such bile to his millions of followers, especially at this fraught and dangerous time for the Jewish community, is unforgivable,' spokesman Richard Hirschhaut told TMZ.

HE truly is MENTALLY ILL.

BI-POLAR isn’t enough of a description.

“Vultures” is offensive about women (like most rap lyrics). Organizations which complain about anti-Semitism have to condemn it as anti-Semitic. But it’s also offensive about Latina, Russian, Middle Eastern, Asian, and African-American women — and about women in general. A more accurate criticism and headline would be about misogeny and woman-hatred, but that ship has already sailed. It’s what we expect from rappers now.

own the symbols of hatred and show they are not to be feared... sometimes a sheet is just a sheet.

Coherency doesn’t matter. It doesn’t even matter if the symbolism is garbled or idiotic. All that matters is spectacle.
That alone will suffice if the audience is made up of idiots too.

Fish sticks are only acceptable if real fish is not available.

Depends on the fish. Smelt normally only comes in sticks, its the only cut they have.

The first fish I ever caught off an ocean pier was a jack smelt.
