The rapper has faced backlash from fellow celebrities and brands he has collaborated with after he said in a since-deleted tweet earlier this month that he wanted to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."

She wrote: "Hate speech is never OK or excusable. I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end."

A group of men hung banners over a pedestrian path above the crowded freeway, most notably one that read: "Kanye is right about the Jews," alongside another which said "honk if you know," and some Biblical proverbs.
