Kanye West has sparked fresh controversy with a series of antisemitic posts on X, openly praising Adolf Hitler and declaring himself a Nazi. The rapper, now known as Ye, made these statements in all-caps messages on the platform.

Key statements from West's posts include:

  • "I'M GOING TO NORMALIZE TALKING ABOUT HITLER"
  • "HITLER WAS SOOO FRESH"
  • Claims that antisemitism is fabricated
  • Refusal to apologize for previous Jewish-related comments

The posts were temporarily removed before reappearing on the platform, with no official statement from X owner Elon Musk regarding content moderation.

Previous Impact of Antisemitic Remarks:

  • Lost $2 billion Adidas contract
  • Terminated partnerships with Balenciaga
  • Removed from major music streaming platforms
  • Widespread industry condemnation

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has condemned these statements as "dangerous rhetoric that fuels hate and violence." While West has previously attributed controversial behavior to bipolar disorder, he insisted these latest posts were made while "completely sober."

Current Consequences:

  • Further industry isolation expected
  • Potential legal ramifications
  • Continued loss of business partnerships
  • Growing public backlash

This incident follows a pattern of controversial statements from West, though the long-term impact on his career remains uncertain as the situation continues to develop.
