Kanye West Reignites Antisemitic Controversy in Explosive Social Media Tirade
The rapper, posting on X, declared his admiration for Hitler, criticized Jewish people, and revoked a previous apology for antisemitic remarks.
- Kanye West, now known as Ye, posted a series of antisemitic statements on X, including praise for Adolf Hitler and self-identifying as a Nazi.
- Ye explicitly stated he would never apologize for his past antisemitic comments and expressed distrust toward Jewish individuals in business dealings.
- The posts included attacks on Elon Musk, whom Ye accused of appropriating 'Nazi swag,' and various minority groups, while claiming sobriety during the tirade.
- This marks a reversal from Ye's 2023 apology to the Jewish community, which followed widespread backlash and the loss of major brand partnerships like Adidas and Gap.
- Critics have raised concerns about X's moderation policies under Elon Musk, as Ye's posts were temporarily removed but later reappeared.
