After his already infamous antisemitic comments, Sacha Baron Cohen has brought Borat back to roast Kanye West. Cohen first brought the character to life with the eponymous 2006 mockumentary film, which saw the fictional Kazakhstani journalist embark on a road trip across the United States to make a documentary about American society and culture, largely interacting with real-life people in unscripted vignettes. After reprising the role for 2020's Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Cohen announced his intention to retire the character, though he may not be as done with the role as previously expected.

While attending this month's Kennedy Center Honors, per The Guardian, Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat made a typically humorous and polarizing appearance. In addition to poking fun at former US President Donald Trump, the comedic character took to roasting Kanye West and his recent antisemitic comments, even remarking that the rapper's beliefs were "too antisemitic" for his home country of Kazakhstan. See Cohen's Borat speech below:

I know the president of US and A is here. Where are you, Mr Trump? You don’t look so good. Where has your glorious big belly gone? And your pretty orange skin has become pale...But I see you have a new wife. Wawawoooah! She is very erotic. I must look away before I get a Bono. Before I proceed, I will say I am very upset about the antisemitism in US and A. It not fair. Kazakhstan is No 1 Jew-crushing nation. Stop stealing our hobby. Stop the steal! Stop the steal! Your Kanye, he tried to move to Kazakhstan and even changed his name to Kazakhstanye West. But we said: No, he too antisemitic, even for us.

Kanye West's Most Recent Controversy Explained

Kanye West on Alex Jones

Despite considered to be one of rap and hip-hop's most influential performers, West has been on a downward spiral over the past decade for his controversial political beliefs, including supporting Donald Trump and the white supremacist movement. His most recent controversy, however, saw West appear on Alex Jones' far-right InfoWars program, during which he stated that Adolf Hitler brought "something of value" to the world and that while he claims to "love Jewish people," he similarly "also loves Nazis" and finds there's "a lot of things that I love about Hitler." West would also go on to deny that the Holocaust was a lie, and that the figure of six million Jews killed by Hitler was "factually incorrect."

West took this a step further by taking to his Twitter to share an image of a Star of David with a swastika etched inside of it, a symbol associated with the UFO religion of Raëlism, generally classified as a cult by many scholars. In spite of his controversies since taking over the social media platform, Elon Musk would step in and suspend West's account, citing a violation of the platform's rules against an incitement of violence. West's most recent antisemitic comments come less than two months after he lost his sponsorships and collaborations with Vogue, CAA, Balenciaga, Gap, Adidas, Foot Locker and TJ Maxx for similar comments made earlier in the year.

How Borat Continues To Spotlight Political Insensitivity

Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat

Though his approach to comedy continues to polarize some, Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat continues to be a key player in spotlighting political insensitivity, with his joke that Kazakhstan wouldn't accept West as a citizen acting as a brutal reminder of the country's infamously poor human rights records. Both Borat movies were memorable in their spotlight of the rampant racism lingering throughout America, the ignorance of a variety of political groups, and the sexual improprieties of politicians, namely that of Rudy Giuliani, among other topics. While Cohen may have retired his Borat character out of concerns for his safety while filming Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, his return to roast Kanye West is ultimately a funny, and scathing, critique of the rapper's insensitive comments.
