Music reviewer faces backlash over Kanye West album review controversy

Anthony Fantano responds to xQc accusations over Kanye West review

YouTube music reviewer Anthony Fantano recently faced backlash from Kanye West fans after he referred to West's latest album as 'unreviewable.' This statement led online commentators to accuse Fantano of hypocrisy. West's album, titled 'Vultures 1,' was released amidst controversy, with singer Ozzy Osbourne claiming that West sampled a live version of Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs' without permission.

During his review, Fantano also referenced West's behavior over the past few years. West has been known to endorse and spread antisemitic theories, including expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler during a 2022 interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Fantano commented on this, stating, 'At some point, I think he realized how much he messed up with all of that, so now he has to own this total dumpster fire he's created. Even if [West] does genuinely apologize and change his behavior, his public image is forever altered by all of this.'
