Beyonce’s empire’s creative director Andrew Makadsi accused of antisemitism over unsettling online posts
A collection of disturbing posts allegedly made by Andrew Makadsi, the creative director of the pop star’s company Parkwood, was shared by Jewish advocacy group, StopAntisemitism on X Friday.
One unsettling post Makadsi allegedly shared on an Instagram Story — a feature that allows users to share photos or short videos that automatically disappear after 24 hours — called for death “to all zi0s and their followers,” according to a screenshot shared by StopAntisemitism.
The comment was made alongside a screenshot of an episode of the “Red Scare” podcast titled, “You’ve Gaza be Kidding Me.”
Makadsi also posted a selfie on X, which was viewed by The Post, captioned with the inverted red triangle emoji — a symbol that the Anti-Defamation League said can be affiliated with “Hamas itself and glorify its use of violence.”
Stop Antisemitism also called out several of Makadsi’s other posts on X, including one repost that compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in front of Congress on Wednesday to inviting Hitler “to the capitol during the holocaust.”
Netanyahu has come under fire over the war in the Gaza, which erupted in response to Hamas’ brutal sneak attack on the Jewish State on Oct. 7, which killed 1,200 people in southern Israel.
Israel subsequently launched a retaliatory invasion of the Gaza Strip, where Hamas-linked health authorities claim that over 39,000 people have been killed.
Makadsi has frequently shared and reposted content that is critical of Zionism and Israel.

“D–th to them all,” he wrote on X alongside a clip of US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller being accused of smirking during an update on the Gaza war.
The Post viewed the hateful missive before Makadsi turned his account to private.
He also reposted a message from “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib denouncing Netanyahu as “a war criminal” who should be “arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court.”
He also appeared to celebrate a video of maggots being dumped on Netanyahu’s table at the Watergate Hotel as part of a series of anti-Israel protests inspired by the Biblical plagues.
Makadsi was born in Lebanon, according to a 2019 interview with Vogue Arabia.

He has been with Parkwood since 2016. Parkwood did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.
A message was left with a number associated with Makadsi.
As of Friday afternoon, Makadsi did not appear to have commented on the posts or allegations on his social media accounts. Several commenters, however, tagged Beyoncé with questions about his connections with her company.
