Chris Brown has hit out at Jewish wellness influencer Tanya Zuckerbrot for critcizing him for allegedly laughing at Kanye West’scontroversial “I just fucked a Jewish bitch” lyric.
Posting a clip of Brown on Instagram where he can be seen enjoying West’s recent collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign and Lil Durk, “Vultures,” Zuckerbrot commented: “What’s more sickening? The lyrics ‘How can I be antisemitic? I just fuc**d a Jewish b*tch!’? Or the fact that both Kanye West and @chrisbrownofficial find it hysterical? Sick, masochistic, antisemitic f*cks.”

Brown took issue with the categorization and replied with his own post on the social media platform, writing: “Let me make this perfectly clear before ya’ll try to use me as a pawn… Ima Piru, I ain’t Muslim or Jewish so don’t start no shit won’t be no shit!!! Im trying to be peaceful but please do not wake up the demon in me! Go on about your fucking day.”
Brown later offered an updated message that removed any mention of religious affiliation or being Piru (a subset of the Bloods gang).

The updated post said: “In no way, shape or form am I antisemitic!!! I’m pro life and I make music for the entire world!!! So please do not get tricked into thinking I spread hate or am kool with it! This is for the millions of young kids that look up and [may] be confused.”

Chris Brown was at a party in Dubai with occasional enemy and sometimes collaborator Kanye West when the video was taken.
The R&B singer has been forced to clear up his gang affiliations in the past after throwing up gang signs commonly associated with the Bloods.
Speaking to Sway in 2014, he said: “When you’re in L.A. and you’re around people, you meet everybody — you meet Crips, you meet Bloods, especially in this industry that I’m in.
“I’m not in the Country world. I’m not in the all-the-way Pop world. You in Hip Hop and R&B and all of that meshes together, especially when you’re in these events or these places where everybody can be there. I’m cordial.”

Brown was previously accused of throwing up gang signs at his MTV VMAs party in 2014, during which Suge Knight was shot.
