Here's why Israeli pop star wore Kanye West's face at the MTV EMAs

The recently held MTV EMAs had a lot to offer apart from some great musical performances. Israeli pop star Noa Kirel brought her A-game to the stage at the event when she showed up in a controversial midriff-baring outfit that had Kanye West’s pictures plastered on it along with theJewish Star of David.

Talking about her look, Noa said,“I had this idea that came to my head: after all the anti-Semitic things that Kanye said about Jewish people — and I’m Jewish — I knew I had to have something that will be powerful on the red carpet. I really wanted it to be a message and not just a regular outfit. And it takes some nerves, but I think the message was received.”

Noa admitted that many thought her dress was too risky but it was all worth it for her as she made a statement and met up with Taylor Swift who liked the outfit a lot. On meeting Taylor Swift, the Israeli pop star said, “When I saw her, she was just sitting there, and you know, I’ve got the Israeli chutzpah, so I was, like, I’m going to introduce myself.”SNL, Dave Chappelle come under fire for 'popularising antisemitism'
