Kanye Banned from Iran

Text on the meme

BREAKING: Kanye West has been BANNED from the Islamic Republic of Iran. Ayatollah Khomeini has stated that "while I strongly support his antisemitism, I cannot stand by a man who hasn't dropped a good song in a decade"

What it means

A fake breaking-news post shows Kanye West beside Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The joke imagines Khomeini banning Kanye from Iran because Kanye has not released a good song in ten years, while absurdly claiming to support his antisemitism. It works as a dark satirical reaction to Kanye’s controversial public behavior and declining music reputation.
