Jewish rapper Kosha Dillz, also known as Rami Even-Esh, recently responded to Kanye West’s continuous anti-Semitic outbursts in the last few weeks. The song, titled Death Con 3, was released on October 21.

Last week, Ye took to social media, tweeting about “going death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” He has since been removed from Twitter and his Instagram account has also been restricted, on account of his incendiary social media posts.

The track started with Dillz stating that he would drop some anti-Semitism bars and explicitly mentioned Ye by rapping the following words:

“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 hinted towards a moment from The Kardashians where Kim Kardashian spoke about being intimate with her former partner Pete Davidson, who was also targeted by Ye at one point. Kosha Dillz then spoke about the Drink Champs podcast where Ye appeared recently, leading to some controversy. Dillz rapped:

“Drink Champs, don’t let him say s**t. Ralph don’t f**k with or with with style. Burn a pair of Yeezys, see the shoes of Birkenau. You’re a blind billionaire, and I see the b**ch in you.”

Kosha Dillz began rapping at the age of 17
