The A Written Testimony rapper went on a rant asking fellow musicians if they believed in God, expressing his admiration for Louis Farrakhan, and even voiced his support for Kanye West. In his tweet about Kanye, he wrote that he can’t wait for what the multi-hyphenate has up his sleeve next.

“I can’t wait for Ye to bust y’all heads wide open w his next maneuver. Godspeed Ye,” he wrote on Twitter.

Following his tweet for Kanye, he then called on NBA Youngboy to join the Nation Of Islam. “Tell NBA Youngboy i said come to Islam and be the great Commander of me God intends for you,” he tweeted.

Throughout his Twitter rant, Jay Electronica made numerous references to the “Synogauge Of Satan,” an anti-semitic phrase used to liken Jewish people to Satan. Electronica then to took time in his rant to address his anti-semitic allegations, even saying that hating on his is antisemitic because his grandmother was Semitic. “PS, if you hate on me, tha’s antisemitic.

Jay Electronica “Can’t Wait” For Kanye West’s Next Move

by

Jay Electronica just went on a Twitter rampage, a salient point of which was that he “can’t wait” for Kanye West’s next move. Of course, this should worry many people out there considering the controversies and harmful statements he’s been involved in recently. However, at least the media cycle around him has grown ever so slightly more moderated over the past few months. Regardless, Jay went at religion and non-believers, he called out many celebrities directly asking them if they believed in God, and unleashed small but loaded statements. While he’s gotten in trouble in the past for his controversial views, this was more of a weird tirade than anything else.

“I can’t wait for Ye to bust y’all heads wide open w his next maneuver. Godspeed Ye,” he shared on Twitter. Another notable tweet he fired off was inviting YoungBoy to join the Nation of Islam, probably after he found out that he was considering Mormon baptism. “Tell NBA Youngboy i said come to Islam and be the great Commander of [men] God intends for you,” the 46-year-old shared.

Jay Electronica “Can’t Wait” For Kanye’s Return

Despite his public persona becoming more divisive, his catalog remains elusive but incredibly celebrated. Sure, he’s not the most prolific or grandiose of lyricists, but his verses always create somewhat of a moment. For example, he contributed to Ye’s lengthy “Jesus Lord” track off his album Donda. In addition, he apparently told Kevin Durant last year that new music is on the way. Perhaps he’s looking to make a grand return.

Meanwhile, the most recent bit of Jay Electron’ news was a curious anecdote from Hit-Boy. “Jay electronica called me randomly while me and Nas were working on ‘Hood2Hood,’” the producer tweeted. Moreover, he was referencing a set of bars on that track that were inspired by the following exchange. “And i put him on speaker he said ‘if y’all in there working on more music i’m coming to shoot the studio up’ jokingly of course.” A humorous but also extreme person, he was blasted for similarly antisemitic views to that of Kanye’s, albeit less extreme. One of those is his consistent use of the phrase “synagogue of Satan.” However, as long his skill isn’t hampered by his controversial rhetoric, he’ll likely keep his acclaimed career. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on Kanye West and Jay Electronica.
