Kanye West has sparked fresh controversy with a social media post questioning Taylor Swift's religious background, marking another chapter in their long-standing public discord.

The rapper posted on X (formerly Twitter) claiming Swift isn't Jewish, accompanied by a photo of the singer. His statement read: "YALL GONE STOP TELLING ME TAYLOR SWIFT IS JEWISH. THIS JEWISH LADY IS CLEARLY NOT JEWISH."

Swift's fanbase immediately responded with widespread criticism, condemning West's remarks as inappropriate and unnecessary. Many viewed this as another attempt to draw attention by invoking Swift's name, continuing their decade-long feud.

This incident adds to their complicated history, which began at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech. Since then, their relationship has been marked by public disagreements and controversies over song lyrics and social media exchanges.

Neither West nor Swift has addressed the current situation. The incident has reignited discussions about responsible social media use and the impact of celebrity statements on public discourse, particularly regarding sensitive topics like religion and identity.

The original post remains on X, continuing to generate significant public reaction and media attention:
