NOI Executive Council member and Student Minister Wesley Muhammad spoke about Ye during an appearance on Hip Hop News Uncensored. Question: Did he lie? Is it false? Kanye is a very intelligent brother.”
So when you hear Farrakhan, he puts some lenses on your eyes and you see Satan for whom Satan is…Those who call themselves Jews but are not, but are of the Synagogue of Satan. During his October 16, 2022, appearance on the Revolt TV program “Drink Champs,” Ye made a reference to “what Farrakhan would talk about right now,” adding that Jewish people “gotta stand up and admit to what you been doing.” Prominent NOI leaders and influencers have defended Ye’s comments in recent weeks, repeating his antisemitic claims and using the opportunity to promote additional antisemitic conspiracy theories.ĭuring an October 16 sermon marking the Holy Day of Atonement, one of the NOI’s most high-profile annual events, Student National Assistant Minister Ishmael Muhammad referenced Ye as he praised Farrakhan and repeated the group’s frequent antisemitic characterization of Jews as the “ Synagogue of Satan”: “Satan deceiveth the whole world. As previously noted, Ye and Farrakhan have repeatedly expressed mutual respect and support for one another and Ye has attended NOI events. Ye has a long-term relationship with the virulently antisemitic Nation of Islam (NOI) and its leader, Louis Farrakhan, dating back to at least the early 2000s. Some right-wing extremists believe that Ye’s potential acquisition of Parler, in combination with Elon Musk’s theoretical purchase of Twitter and former President Trump’s growing Truth Social platform, will usher in a new era of social media defined by principles of free speech and free of alleged left-wing censorship.
Other extremists and conspiracy theorists, including Proud Boys and QAnon adherents, have also commented on Ye’s antisemitism and reports that Ye may purchase the right-wing social media platform Parler. White supremacists have expressed their delight at Ye “naming the Jews,” and defended Ye’s right to free speech.
The Nation of Islam and extremist Black Hebrew Israelite sects have defended Ye’s statements about Black people and Jewish identity and used the opportunity to promote antisemitic claims and conspiracy theories. Extremists across the ideological spectrum have embraced his recent comments. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has publicly espoused numerous antisemitic and racist tropes in recent weeks.
