NEW YORK (JTA) – Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, flooded the social network X with antisemitic comments early Friday morning, in a repeat of the spree that cost him his fashion deals and public esteem two years ago.

In dozens of tweets to his 32 million followers, Ye praised Hitler, called himself a Nazi and said antisemitism was “just some bulls–t Jewish people made up to protect their bulls–t.”
He also emphasized that he was unrepentant and in control of his faculties. “AMY JEWISH PERSON THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ME NEEDS TO KNOW I DONT LIKE OR TRUST ANY JEWISH PERSON AMD THIS IS COMPLETELY SOBER WITH NO HENNESY,” he wrote in all caps, adding, “IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS.”
The spree was reminiscent of what happened in October 2022, when Ye made a string of antisemitic comments on TV, Twitter and Instagram. He was soon booted off the social media platforms and was invited back to Twitter the next month, as Elon Musk took over the platform, but was once again suspended. He was reinstated again in 2023 as Musk rebranded Twitter as X. Ye also dined with Donald Trump and Nick Fuentes, the white nationalist and Holocaust denier, at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate during this period.
Ye lost a number of brand partnerships and professional opportunities as a result of his antisemitic comments in 2022. Most notably, Adidas ended its $2 billion-per-year partnership with him after facing heavy backlash.
Under Musk’s ownership, X has drawn criticism for liberalizing its rules so much that neo-Nazis and other extremists have flocked to the platform. Antisemitism watchdogs spoke of a “Kanye effect” after 2022 in which white supremacists used his words in their own antisemitic acts.
“ELON THEY KICKED ME OFF OF INSTAGRAM SO HAPPY YOU BOUGHT X,” Ye tweeted early in his spree.
Some of Ye’s posts were temporarily deleted or otherwise made invisible to viewers, though it was not clear by whom or for what reason. Soon, many of the messages reappeared — including ones explicitly praising Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
“I’m going to normalize talking about hitler,” he wrote. A minute later, he added, “Hitler was soooo fresh.”
Ye this week announced that he had been diagnosed with autism, following a rocky appearance at the Grammys on Sunday. He had previously blamed a bipolar disorder diagnosis for his antisemitic comments, which people who have worked with him say he has also made in person.
“If I lost everything again tonight was worth it I can die after this,” he wrote in all caps. Then he added, referring to a popular video game, “I tour for the money Id rather be playing Last of Us part one and two which was made by Jewish people Good Job thank you.”
Kanye is clearly a mentally ill whackjob, but when one famous and influential person, even a crazy one, says these things, it becomes more acceptable to say them in public for everyone else. Black anti-Semitism is real and getting worse. Hashem help us all.
Not mentally ill. EVIL. He, Candace, and Farrakhan are proof that Amalek got to Africa.
Who cares about this Kanyo lowlife?
What do you expect from an ignorant, moron, abizyana! Tell him not to use cell phone, take medicines or treatments or anything else developed by Yidden. How many Yidden have received Nobel Prizes vs how many abizyana have been honored.
at the end of the day, he is a lowlife. Plain and simple
A creature closer to a chaya than a ben-Odom
He never made any Jewish comments. If only he did, those would be civil. He made only hateful comments, of the nature that would set the kushi community rioting had a lavan instead directed at one of theirs. US govt should seize his money and reappropriate it for rebuilding gaza as a US territory.
Bipolar antisemite narcissistic attention seeking low life Rasha. Who will get his just dessert in a not so distant future
Black anti-semitism did not start yesterday. It started during the civil rights movement of the 1960’s, when militant Black organizations turned on Jewish supporters, and Jews in general. It spread to the New York City school teachers in 1968, during a long strike, whereby Jewish teachers were attacked by Black militants. Those individuals were pandered to by the likes of former Mayor Lindsay. The hatred of Jews spread to other New York area governmental agencies such as the motor vehicle bureau, and even to the NYPD. I remember Rabbi Meir Kahane stating how brutal the cops were to the JDL, and how they beat them after they were handcuffed and arrested. I remember the cops in the 90th precinct making derogatory remarks, about the Chassidim in that precinct. One cops yelled out “Hitler didn’t kill enough Jews. Fast forward to 2025. At one time, there wasn’t a problem with Jewish travelers coming through US customs. Now, even American citizens who are Jews, in the not too distant past, have been mistreated by U.S. Customs, especially if they were returning from Israel. This was especially true if the U.S. Customs agents were minority members. The same phenomenon has spread to airline flight attendants. One can be walking into a store, or to a business minding their own business, and be glared at, by minority members, for the crime of being White. It is a very sad state of affairs today!
Who is this guy bichlal? Where does he daven? Is he Ahroni or Zaloni? Guatamala ? Why does it matter what he says?
Kenya
He’s suffering the effects of the Kardashian strain of syphilis.. it’s eaten his little brain away to nothing..
I still have the original papers identifying him as my slave.who freed this guy,?
So what?
Who cares.
Doesn’t deserve attention here
Let’s be honest, most Schva’tzehs are anti-Semitic. They furthermore can pretty much say anything they want without consequence, as members of an exalted and protected group
Where’s Dov hikind
It’s always the person you least suspect
Guess his I.Q.
This pereh adam may think he is important….but he is a mere stain on the pages of history. Read Tehillim Perek 37.
Dog doo
Vermin should be exterminated.
The more coverage he gets, the more power we give him.
We would ignore him and not respond to his nuttiness.
The man is in a self-inflicted self-destructive spiral. We should shut up, get out of his way, and let him destroy himself. He will do this with no help.
By opposing him, talking about him, debating him, we just empower him to become even more unhinged.
If you follow his behaviour, he is on speed train to self-destruction.
Let’s just get out of his way and stop giving importance to a mental case.
Like most here I dont think this guy mentally stable , however it seems obvious that he must of had some bad dealings with jewish agents or partners who he feels took advantage of him and who knows they might of taken advantage of his ignorance. Many Jews do the same they have a bad experience with a black or chinese, indian, israeli, hasidic and then they act same way with hating all but he really has so much hate as he cant control his emotions ,
Trump’s America.
Musk’s America.
