Multi-millionaire Jewish tech entrepreneur Daniel Starr has challenged rapper Kanye West to a five-minute boxing match, offering to donate $2 million to charity if the fight happens. Starr's offer comes after Kanye's recent anti-Semitic remarks, including his shocking claim of being a Nazi and openly expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler.

A Response to Hate Speech
Kanye's controversial outburst on social media, where he posted around 50 inflammatory tweets, has sparked global outrage. Starr sees the fight as an opportunity to stand up against hate and bullies. "He's an anti-Semite and a bully," Starr said, adding that he wants the fight to be live-streamed so the world can see him "beat the s**t out of a rapper who degrades women and spreads hatred."

Businesses Urged to Cut Ties with Kanye
Starr has also called on businesses and streaming platforms to sever ties with Kanye, criticizing the "lack of outrage" over his comments. "His music is still being streamed, he's still invited to award ceremonies, and people are still working with him," he said. Starr believes that Kanye’s influence is dangerous and that his words could encourage others to adopt similar hateful ideologies.

Taking a Stand Against Hate
Beyond the boxing challenge, Starr emphasizes the importance of holding celebrities accountable for their words. "Free speech exists, but when you have a massive platform, you have a responsibility," he said. Starr hopes his challenge will send a clear message that hate speech has consequences.
