It follows Kanye's bombshell interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored amid outrage over his recent anti-Semitic tweets, George Floyd rant and wearing a 'White Lives Matter' T-shirt at Paris Fashion Week.
Boy George, 61, filmed a video on Instagram: "I'm kind of appalled that not more artists have come out and spoke against what he's saying.
"I'm appalled that Kim Kardashian hasn't come out and added her voice to this debate, because this woman has children with Kanye, so she must understand as a mother what it feels like for little Jewish children to hear these f***ing comments, how demoralising and terrifying it must be."
Holding back tears, he added: "As a gay man I have experienced years of prejudice, you know, so the idea of doing that to someone else based on their race or their colour or their sexuality or their gender is just f***ing appalling to me, and it should be appalling to you."

On Uncensored, Piers, 57, asked Kanye - now known as Ye - if he's sad he and Kim are no longer together, after the reality star filed for divorce in February 2021 following six years of marriage.
Kanye replied: "I may be divorced on paper but I'm not divorced of the idea of being the protector.
"Her name is no longer West. And my name is now only Ye. If we were ever to be together again, what would our name be? Kimye?"
When Piers asked if he still loves Kim, Kanye said: "I will love her for life, and oddly enough I will protect her."

Billionaire rapper Kanye, 45, initially refuse to apologise for his recent tweet talking about Jewish people.
Piers asked: “Do you now regret saying ‘death con 3 on Jewish people’, are you sorry you said that?”
“No, absolutely not… absolutely not," replied Kanye.
It took nearly two hours for him to eventually say "sorry" - after walking out midway through the interview.
Pressed further during the heated conversation, Ye went on: “I will say I’m sorry for the people I hurt with the ‘death con’, with the confusion.
"I feel like I caused hurt and confusion and I am sorry for the families of the people who had nothing to do with the trauma that I had been through.
"And that I used my platform where you say, I hurt people, and I was hurt.”
Ye added: “It’s wrong to hold an apology hostage and I gotta let go of that and free myself of the trauma.

"I want to word it, and not in a political way but in a presidential way, which is what I knew a president to be when I was growing up.”
