Kanye West’s latest social media campaign has pushed well beyond the boundaries of being controversial.
Since his unhinged X rant last month, the hip-hop mogul has seemingly gone out of his way to make rather indefensible statements. He’s gone on the record describing himself as a Nazi and a racist. At one time, he described Adolf Hitler “fresh” in a post while dubbing himself “YAYDOLF HITLER” in another.
In his latest tirade, West attempted to defend his recent embrace of Nazism by comparing it to bisexuality.
“IF A BISEXUAL CAN F*CK BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WHY CANT I BE A NAZI THAT LOVED JEWS,” he wrote on X.
Ye then tried to defend his recent use of antisemitic symbols as some sort of dterrent to consumerism.
“I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GET MONEY WITH ME OR OFF OF ME THATS ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE SWASTIKAITS THAT ALL VULTURES GET THE F*CK AWAY FROM ME SIGN,” he declared. “IM OFFENSIVE CAUSE IM ON OFFENSE.”
Kanye West even began selling swastika t-shirts on the Yeezy website not too long after his initial rant. Fans were faced with the shocking revelation after the company’s ad aired during the Super Bowl – the offensive clothing item was the only one listed on the site.
Ye has also offered solidarity to former Bad Boy CEO Sean “Diddy” Combs amid his equally controversial trial – West went as far as to call Diddy his “idol.”
Kanye West has withstood a lot of controversy in the past, but it’ll be interesting to see how much further he can go this time.
