After billionaire rapper Kanye West said on social media about “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE”, Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz has released a new single titled Death Con 3 in which he has called the 21-time Grammy award winner a ‘blind billionaire.’
The track was dropped on YouTube on Friday, October 21, as a response to Kanye West’s continuous anti-Semitic remarks on various public platforms.

“Bro, I’m focused. Jesus walked to Sunday Service, you in denial like Moses? Please disguise ya racist ‘cause ya ex is f**king funny dudes by fire places,” the lyrics of the song go, taking a dig at the rapper and his celebrity ex-wife Kim Kadarshian.
