The alarming social media diatribes of Kanye West persist unabated.
On Saturday, the controversial rapper unleashed a barrage of peculiar posts on X, prompted by his appearance at the 2025 Grammys. His actions ignited widespread outrage, particularly due to the attire worn by his wife, Bianca Censori, who was adorned in a sheer, nude micro dress that left little to the imagination.
West, 47, commenced his provocative discourse by asserting, “I have dominion over my wife.” He sought to underscore that their relationship eschews contemporary feminist ideologies, emphasizing her association with affluence as a rationale for her defiance against detractors, whom he derogatorily referred to as “dumb ass broke bitches.”
In an astonishing display, he lavished praise on Adolf Hitler, declaring, “Hitler was sooooo fresh.” Such statements exemplify a disconcerting trend in his rhetoric, where he unabashedly avowed, “I’m a Nazi,” dismissing antisemitism as “just some bulls–t Jewish people made up.”
Moreover, West continued with irresponsible declarations, proclaiming in all capital letters for emphasis: “Any Jewish person that does business with me needs to know I don’t like or trust any Jewish person.” His situation escalated, as he defiantly stated that he would never apologize for his derogatory remarks about the Jewish community.
In reaction to his incendiary statements, the American Jewish Committee condemned his behavior, noting that West purposely exploits his platform to disseminate antisemitic sentiments. They emphasized the perilous implications of such rhetoric, particularly in an era marked by a resurgence of antisemitic incidents.
This is not the first instance of West’s controversial declarations; in fact, he was previously designated as the 2022 Antisemite of the Year by StopAntisemitism, a title stemming from a series of concerning threats and hate speech directed at Jewish individuals.
Ultimately, West’s behavior at the 2025 Grammys, where Censori unabashedly showcased her physical form, further compounded the chaos surrounding their public persona.
