Kanye West has been made the subject of a brand new episode of South Park as season 26’s premiere explored themes surrounding Ye’s recent antisemitic remarks.
Directed by Matthew Stone, “Cupid Ye” — which debuted on Comedy Central on Wednesday night (February 8) — sees Kyle, Stan and the rest of the cast parodying Kanye West’s array of controversies that followed him throughout 2022 and led to many businesses cutting ties with the Chicago-bred mogul.
Stan and Cartman are jealous of Kyle’s — who is Jewish — budding friendship with Tolkien. Cartman becomes Cupid Ye and starts following some of the talking points in line with Kanye’s divisive rhetoric to spread antisemitism throughout the episode.
Cartman also gives interviews in the episode donning the same racing jacket, black mask and matching gloves that Ye wore during his controversial appearance on Infowars where he was heaping praise upon Hitler last year.
“Ever since you changed your name and got all into Jesus, you got a little batshit crazy, Cupid Ye,” Cartman realizes.
