Veteran music executive Lyor Cohen addressed Kanye West's anti-Semitism in an open letter this week.

West then shot back and accused him of making money off Black-on-Black crime.

Here's some of what Cohen wrote:

"Dear Kanye. I am deeply disappointed and troubled by your recent actions involving the use of Nazi symbols and antisemitic rhetoric. Your words and actions are not only offensive but triggering to all decent people who recognize the horrors of the Holocaust and the suffering of millions. With antisemitism on the rise, your voice and influence carry a significant responsibility. I urge you to be more sensitive to the pain your words inflict on Jewish communities and all those who stand against hate."

Here's a portion of West's response:

"LEE OR let me call you by your incorrect name also You and your whole industry have promoted and got paid off songs where black people glorify killing each other But my t shirt is the worst thing ever. You start by apologizing and taking accountability for the massive promotion of black death that you’ve got paid off of for years ...Also you too broke to speak to me in the first place. And you know what Irv said to you before he passed and since he not here. I’ll say it Suuuuck Myyyy D*ck."

How would you respond to Cohen and West?
