Kanye West Thanks Adam Sandler Following SNL50 Tribute

During Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary special, Adam Sandler performed a tribute song that humorously referenced the show's history, including a line about '50 years of finding out your favorite musician’s antisemitic,' widely interpreted as a dig at Kanye West. In response, West took to social media to acknowledge the mention, expressing gratitude to Sandler, despite the unflattering nature of the reference. Sandler's performance and the subsequent commentary highlight West's ongoing controversies, which include recent antisemitic remarks and a notorious Super Bowl ad featuring swastika-emblazoned T-shirts. While West has faced backlash and been dropped by various brands due to his rhetoric, he seems to embrace the attention from Sandler's song. The special featured other references to West, indicating his complicated relationship with the show. As tensions surrounding his comments continue to grow, the cultural significance of such moments on SNL remains noteworthy.
