The message from Ye appeared to show him saying that Combs was controlled by Jewish people, a reference to an antisemitic conspiracy theory.
In one antisemitic post on Twitter, Ye said he would soon go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” according to internet archive records, making an apparent reference to the U.S. defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON.
Ye appeared in a Fox News interview Thursday with Tucker Carlson and echoed antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Also, at a fashion show last week, Ye sported a T-shirt that read "White Lives Matter," in apparent mockery of the Black Lives Matter movement.
"White Lives Matter" is a "white supremacist phrase" that's popular with the Aryan Renaissance Society, the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
