On Oct 10, 2022, Kanye West tweets this: "I'm a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I'm going death con 3 Om JEWISH PEOPLE The funny thing is I actually can't be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda."
His tweet has stirred many controversies and offended the Jewish and Black communities, so he is paying the price.

According to this website, he referred to the military term "Defcon." There are five levels which indicate the national security threat intensity, with five being the lowest and one the highest. The tweet is construed as if he was either preparing himself for a threat from Jewish people or going to impose some violence on them.
After sharing the tweet to 30 million followers on Twitter, here are the repercussions for Kanye West, who is believed to have offended the Jewish community worldwide. Not only this but after his antisemitic tweet, he was seen endorsing the slogan "White Lives Matter" on his t-shirt during Paris Fashion Week.
