SHOCKING new photos show Kanye West shamelessly crashing a Jewish congregation after his vile antisemitic rant in 2022 in what the service leader has characterized to The U.S. Sun as an unwelcome and calculated stunt. The photos, exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, show an uninvited Kanye attending a service at a Jewish place of worship three years before his latest online meltdown, which included a slew of dangerous, bigoted remarks.

The incident happened at Adat Yeshua, a Messianic Jewish congregation in West Hills, CA – just next to the Kardashian’s neighborhood of Calabasas. Ye, as he now refers to himself as, wore a camouflage baseball cap underneath a red, white and black windbreaker jacket along with large rubber boots for his service attire. He appeared tense as he can be seen in a chair on the side as he took photos of the service without breaking a smile.

The Yeezy designer primarily kept to himself and did not mingle with other members - who did not appear to recognize him. Congregation leader Michael Brown led the service that day and spoke candidly with The U.S. Sun about the community having “no acceptance” whatsoever to the messages Kanye, 47, had been spreading. “We did not know he was coming. We were in no way identifying with him or his comments or anything like that.

“Someone who had visited our congregation who didn’t know him well but knew him told him about our congregation. And I don’t think they were not aware that he made antisemitic comments at the time.”. The pastor, as Brown refers to himself since the congregation is not a traditional synagogue and merges teachings of Old and New Testaments, recalled his interaction with Ye: “He showed up in the service, I was there that day but I didn’t realize he was there until he was already in the service.

“Someone told me he was there so during the greeting time, I went up to him and said ‘I heard you made some comments that really upset a number of our Jewish people.’. “He would respond ‘Oh it was business. I didn’t like the way they did business.’ And I said ‘well look, if you have a problem with someone on business I guess that’s your prerogative but don’t make it a racial issue. Don’t classify all the Jewish people as that.'.

“And basically our greeting time was over at that time so I had to go back to the podium. But I was going to make a comment in the service about it but he had left by that time probably because I confronted him.”. Ye “did not show remorse or apologize” during their conversation and continued to bring up his alleged business frustrations, he added. Brown went on to explain that during the interaction, he “made it clear that we reject all antisemitism and bigotry” and even added that message to that day’s sermon - but by that time, Ye had already left the building.

“I don’t know what was in his heart. But he went outside and I guess was making some more comments but I didn’t hear. “If I heard him say any antisemitic comments I would’ve stopped him and I would’ve said look get off the property if you’re saying something like that.”. When asked if Kanye would be welcomed back following his past week of vile antisemitic comments, Brown said: “Well, I would ask him ‘why are you here?’ And make it clear we stand against every single antisemitic comment you’ve ever made.

“If he wants to repent but we don’t want his publicity stunt and certainly do not accept his message in any way. “If I knew he was going to come I’d just say ‘look, you’re not welcome unless you’re going to repent because we cannot identify with that kind of a message.’”. On, Adat Yeshua’s website, they continue to highlight the following statement since Ye’s visit: “All people with good intentions are welcome to come and hear about Yeshua’s (Jesus in Hebrew) life-giving gospel message of love, forgiveness, and eternal life.

“Letting people attend our services in no way indicates agreement with, nor acceptance, of any sinful, controversial views, or lifestyle they might have, neither are we responsible for comments that they could make outside of our gatherings. “We love the Jewish people and Israel, and stand with the Jewish people and others against any antisemitism, bigotry, and racism.”. In 2022, Kanye went on to say a series of antisemitic comments in podcasts and online - including claims that Jewish people “toyed with” him and that they “tried to blackball anyone who opposes their agenda.”.

In the same tweet, he also horrifically said his message was "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE" - leading to his Twitter profile being removed for its violent nature. This past week, Kanye's bigotry continued as he wrote on X: "I LOVE WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE COME TO ME AND SAY THEY CANT WORK WITH ME ANYMORE. ITS MY FAV.". Kanye West has faced a number of controversies in recent years. In November 2022, a former Yeezy staffer alleged in a lawsuit Kanye showed them intimate photos of his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
