BVB scandal: Guirassy shares controversial Snapchat story with Hitler's song!

Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy caused a remarkable scandal when he shared a holiday photo on Snapchat set to the controversial song “WW3” by Ye, better known as Kanye West. In this title, Ye openly positions himself on the side of Adolf Hitler, leaving a deep impression of the controversies that have accompanied him in the past. Guirassy quickly deleted the story in question, but the damage was already done. The 29-year-old received strong negative reactions on social media, especially on X, with many users publicly calling for sanctions against him.

The song “WW3” addresses explosive and controversial content. Ye raps in the track that he reads chapters from Hitler's "Mein Kampf" before going to sleep. This is not the first time that the artist has been linked to anti-Semitic comments, which have gained an oppressive presence on social media since his last performances. While Instagram is trying to ban the song from the platform, Guirassy has been harshly criticized by his fans, which further increases the explosiveness of the issue.

Provocative content and social resonance

The album "WW3", whose tracklist was recently released, contains tracks that are not only provocative, but also contain anti-Semitic rhetoric and images. Worrying lines in the songs include statements like "rocking swastikas 'cause all my n##### Nazis" and the aforementioned zebra statement about "Mein Kampf". In addition to these controversies, Ye also addresses personal issues, such as the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh in the song "Virgil," or offers a different perspective on cultural history and his drug use in "Nitrous."

Kanye West's recent actions, including his support of other controversial figures like Dave Blunts, who is also featured on the album, show how polarizing the artist is in the current music landscape. Blunts was described by West as a favorite rapper, which only fuels the spread of such dangerous messages.

An alarming trend

Kanye West's recurring anti-Semitic statements, which were also made on platforms such as According to reports, these comments have received thousands of likes, increasing concerns about spreading anti-Semitism in the United States. The Anti-Defamation League has released alarming statistics documenting over 10,000 anti-Semitic incidents in the United States between October 2023 and September 2024.

In addition, prominent figures such as Donald Trump, who despite his public support for Israel is repeatedly cited as an accelerant, show how complex and dangerous the situation is in the context of today's anti-Semitism. These currents are amplified by major social media platforms such as X, where Elon Musk recreates shocking content.

The connection between Guirassy's incident and Kanye West's activities remains a troubling example of how media and social networks can normalize anti-Semitism. The safety of the Jewish community in the United States is at stake, increasing the urgency to actively address such incidents.

In conclusion, the events surrounding Guirassy and Kanye West are not just individual incidents, but part of a much larger societal problem that cannot be ignored in the coming months. The pressure for accountability is rippling, both on social media and in real life.
