Seth Rogen and Jon Stewart have blasted Kanye West for attempting a “comeback tour”, despite his anti-semitic behaviour.
Seth Rogen and Jon Stewart have blasted Kanye West for attempting a “comeback tour”.
The This Is The End actor took a swipe at the Stronger rapper during his headline performance at the Seth Goes Greek event at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater as part of the Netflix Is a Joke festival earlier this week, calling out his years of anti-semitic behaviour, notably his song Heil Hitler.
According to the Daily Beast, Seth told the audience: “What’s funny is I’ve said critical things about Jewish people; I think I got in more trouble than Kanye West did.
“I got a lot of s*** for what I said. I have no number one albums. I sometimes think what Adolf Hitler would think of the Kanye West song Heil Hitler. I bet he’d be torn.”
Jon joined Seth on stage and agreed with his stance against the rapper.
Referencing Kanye’s infamous feud with Pete Davidson after the comic dated his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Jon said: “But seriously, f*** that guy.
“He was like, ‘Hitler was misunderstood, we’ve got to forgive Hitler.’
“And I’m like, I don’t think I need to listen to anybody who thinks Hitler needs to be forgiven but is still mad at Pete Davidson.”
Kanye — who also goes by Ye — has faced widespread backlash in recent years for making antisemitic comments and expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler, even releasing a track titled Heil Hitler and selling a T‑shirt featuring a swastika on his website.
He later issued an apology in a full‑page Wall Street Journal advert, writing that he is “not a Nazi or an antisemite” and declaring his love for Jewish people.
He has since attributed his behaviour to a severe manic episode in early 2025, saying he lost touch with reality and deeply regrets the things he said and did.
Despite organising tour dates for the coming months, many of them have been cancelled, with London’s Wireless festival – at which he was due to headline all three nights – scrapped entirely after Kanye was refused a visa.
A festival spokesperson said at the time:”The Home Office has withdrawn YE’s ETA, denying him entry into the United Kingdom.
“As a result, Wireless Festival is cancelled and refunds will be issued to all ticket holders.
“As with every Wireless Festival, multiple stakeholders were consulted in advance of booking YE and no concerns were highlighted at the time.
“Antisemitism in all its forms is abhorrent, and we recognise the real and personal impact these issues have had.
“As YE said today, he acknowledges that words alone are not enough, and in spite of this still hopes to be given the opportunity to begin a conversation with the Jewish community in the UK.”
