Hollywood stars including John Legend and Seth Rogen have slammed Kanye West for a series of tweets in which he appeared to defend anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.
West, who has been an outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, sparked outrage on Tuesday when he tweeted that "the Rothschilds" control "half the world's wealth." He also accused the Jewish family of "running the music industry."
The tweets were quickly condemned as anti-Semitic, and West was accused of peddling conspiracy theories about Jewish people controlling the world.
Legend, who has collaborated with West on several hit songs, was among those to speak out against the rapper's comments.
"I love that man," Legend tweeted. "But he is not well."
Rogen also weighed in, tweeting that it was "disheartening" to see West "supporting these flat-earth theories."
"Kanye is a friend but he's clearly not well," Rogen wrote.
This is not the first time West has sparked controversy with his comments about Jewish people. In November 2016, he came under fire for wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "White Lives Matter." He later said that he did not know the meaning of the phrase and that he was simply trying to show support for police officers.
