Kanye West mural painted over in rapper’s hometown of Chicago

A mural of Kanye West in Chicago was painted over this week as the rapper continues to face backlash over his vile anti-Semitic rant.

A video posted to Twitter Wednesday shows someone using black paint to cover the 14-foot depiction of the rapper, now known as Ye, on the side of a building in the city’s West Loop neighborhood.

The artist behind the work, Jason M. Peterson, later posted an image of the blacked-out mural to his Instagram Story, saying “We need better role models.”
