Last year, Kanye West returned to the public eye after his anti-Semitic remarks in 2022 led to a brief exile and numerous professional repercussions for the rapper and businessman. His comeback included the release of two albums, "Vultures 1" and "Vultures 2," as well as the reinstatement of his X account, which had previously been suspended for anti-Semitic posts.
Last week, West and his wife Bianca Cenzori caused quite a stir when she appeared practically naked on the red carpet ahead of the Grammy Awards.
Now, in a series of posts on the X platform, the rapper has returned to the same kind of anti-Semitic and racist rhetoric that previously got him banned, Pitchfork reports.
"I am a racist. Stereotypes exist for a reason and they are all true," West wrote in one of the posts.
In another post, West wrote, also in capital letters, that he does not "like or trust any Jew."
Other posts include praise for Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party, which the rapper admits he has been fascinated with for years. He even openly called himself a Nazi at one point. He also stated that he would never apologize for his anti-Semitism. Other posts include homophobic, racist, anti-black comments, and misogynistic statements.
West also took the opportunity to try to defend and praise Sean Diddy Combs, the disgraced rapper and mogul who remains in custody awaiting federal trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. West claims that "they" are trying to "make an example" of Diddy, who is also facing numerous lawsuits from women and men who claim the musician abused them. He also called on his ally, US President Donald Trump, to pardon Diddy, who has largely denied the charges.
Another controversial music figure that West has defended and praised is Chris Brown, the singer who was convicted of physically assaulting Rihanna in 2009. West said that "everyone just stood by and watched while they tried to undo Chris Brown," a musician who has also faced numerous physical and sexual assault allegations.
