Mogul rapper Ye’s incendiary comments about Jewish people over the past few months have earned him the title of “Antisemite of the Year” from a major watchdog group.

Jewish rights group Stop Antisemitism posted a somewhat cheeky video Sunday of the most outlandish remarks that Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has made about Jews this year.

“Jew hatred is already out of control in the United States and the last thing we need is a celebrity like Kanye to add fuel to that fire,” Liora Rez, the executive director for Stop Antisemitism, told TMZ.

That included his threat to go “death con [DEFCON] 3” on Jewish people on Oct.
