Kanye West is again into controversies.According to reports, the rapper and fashion designer is being investigated for possible battery. Ye is accused of pulling a woman’s phone from her hand and tossing it when she kept on continuing to record him.
Paparazzi could be seen following Ye as he left his daughter’s basketball game in the video recordings. It’s unclear if the woman was a fan or a paparazzi. He requested the woman to put her cameras down since he was genuinely upset that she was photographing him, but she replied that she was shooting him because “you are a celebrity.” This enraged him, and he grabbed her phone and violently slammed it on the ground. Around 4.30, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department came on the scene and collected the incident’s video evidence.
“You didn’t have to run up on me like that. If I say stop, stop with your cameras,” said Kanye West in the video.
The rapper drops another anti-semitic bombshell
Kanye West adds fuel to his comments about the Jews after his interview with Alex Jones instead of keeping them under the weather. In an interview with Censored. TV titled “Saving Ye,” he said, “Jewish people can’t tell me who I can love and who I can’t love.” He is already accused of his anti-semitic expressions. He blatantly said, “Jewish people — forgive Hitler today. Let it go. Let it go. Stop trying to force it on other people.” The Yeezy founder makes his point in a way that the dictator’s act of killing several million people is not a big deal to hold detest. Holocaust caused several lives, and Kanye wants people to go past one of the saddening tragic events in history. The interview was intended to get Kanye’s name clear, as mentioned by McInnes, who established “Proud Boys,” a right-wing extremist group.
The rapper has even gotten himself a lot of hatred after stating, “I see good things about Hitler also,” with a few more in the same note and tone. The statements even made president Joe Biden issue statements disapproving of anti-semitic expressions and denying the holocaust.
Ye got suspended from Twitter again, but this time by Elon Musk
Elon Musk suspended the singer Kanye West’s Twitter account after he posted a Swastika inside a Star of David on Thursday evening.
Ye, whose Twitter account was recently reinstated after Elon Musk bought the social media platform for $ 44 million, posted a Swastika image inside the Star of David symbol.
This made the Twitter owner suspend Ye’s account saying he violated our rule against incitement to violence.
Ye, after suspecting that Musk would suspend his account, posted an unflattering image of Musk and captioned it as, “Let’s always remember this as my final tweet.”
When a Twitter user said Musk suspended Ye’s post due to this post, the billionaire replied, “Just clarifying that his account is being suspended for incitement to violence, not an unflattering pic of me being hosed by Ari. Frankly, I found those pics to be helpful motivation to lose weight!”
Ye, after being suspended from Twitter, shared on the Truth Social app that another picture of his text interaction with Musk showed he was locked out of his account for 12 hours.
Ye and Kim Kardashian’s divorce was recently finalized after almost two years. However, the couple will share the expenses of their children.
He creates yet another controversy with his anti-Semitic comments
Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, stirred controversy in Alex Jones’ show “Infowars” in a black face concealing outfit with his anti-semitic comments. He has been already accused of his expression of anti-Semitism, and now he openly made a positive statement about Hitler. Ye said, “Well, I see good things about Hitler also. I love everyone.” Radiating positivity is essential, but talking in favor of a dictator on public media reflects his deeper sense of anti-Semitism.
“You can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler. How about that one?” Though he has been called out for his behavior, there are no traces of it coming to a halt. West also added Hitler “invented the highways” and “the very microphone that he uses as a musician,” in a way singing praises of the apparently appreciable things which Hilter did not contribute.
Adidas to sell Kanye West’s Yeezy by removing the brand name
Though Adidas ended ties with Kanye West in October end, the company still has an inventory of Yeezy apparel and sneakers to deal with. So the company has planned to keep selling the Yeezy sneakers and apparel line with the Yeezy name and branding removed.
“Going forward, we will leverage the existing inventory with the exact plans being developed as we speak,” said Adidas finance chief, Harm Ohlmeyer on Wednesday.
The company lost more than $250 million in profit and $500 million in revenue when it ended its partnership with Kanye, who now goes by the name Ye.
Ye still owns the Yeezy trademark,
Does Elon Musk lie behind Ye’s Twitter account restoration?
Kanye West’s Twitter profile is back a day after Elon Musk bought the social media platform, according to reports.
The rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, is now facing various issues due to his antisemitic comments on his Twitter and Instagram accounts which were later suspended for the same reason.
Many organizations including Adidas cut their ties with Ye after these incidents and even Skechers escorted the rapper out.
Despite all these incidents, Ye’s Twitter account is again back on the platform just one day after Elon Musk bought the social media company.
Musk, when questioned about Kanye’s account retrieval said, “Ye’s account was restored by Twitter before the acquisition” and added that he is not involved in it.
Also, Elon Musk tweeted, “Twitter will be forming a content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints. No major content decisions or account reinstatements will happen before that council convenes.”
Meanwhile, a Bloomberg reporter, Kurt Wagner in his tweet noted that Kanye West’s Twitter account was not banned and lifted from that today, it was just frozen temporarily. Then, the freeze was again lifted from the suspension weeks ago. But Ye didn’t tweet for a while.
The controversies are surging and Ye, 45, on his Instagram account said that he has been beaten to a pulp.
Skechers’ executives escorted Ye out. Meanwhile, Spotify decided to keep Ye’s music in its app.
Though several brands cut their ties with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, Spotify decided to keep Ye’s music amid antisemitic remarks.
Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek told Reuters that Ye’s music, many of which are famous, will remain on Spotify as it doesn’t violate the anti-hate policies of the platform.
Ek also added that Ye’s antisemitic comments are awful, but that was not found on Spotify. The streaming company would block the rapper’s music if his label requested it.
Ye’s music can also be found on Apple Music and YouTube Music.
But…
The footwear company Skechers announced on Wednesday that its executives escorted Ye out from its Los Angeles office when the rapper “showed up unannounced and uninvited.”
The brand when asked for the reason said, “We condemn his recent divisive remarks and do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of hate speech.”
Skechers has “no intention of working with Ye,” the company made clear in its statements.
Ye is the 19th most famous artist on Spotify with nearly 51 million monthly listeners.
Ye, 45, who is known for his acclaimed works, married Kim Kardashian in 2014 and the couple got divorced in March 2022. Ye and Kim share four children together.
Ye is off the Forbes billionaire list since Adidas dropped him.
Many brands dropped Kanye, but the biggest blow to his pride armor is Adidas. The multi-billion dollar sportswear brand has dropped its collaboration with him over his recent anti-semitic comments. This has led Ye to drop off the much coveted Forbes billionaire list.
Estimates indicate Adidas’s Yeezy collaboration with Ye accounted for $1.5 billion of his net worth. But for Adidas, the Yeezy line of super-expensive, super-popular sneakers brought in only 4% to 8% of its sales from Yeezy products, according to investment bank Cowen. Without Adidas, Ye is worth $400 million.
It is notable that just this month, Ye in a Drink Champs podcast said, “I can say antisemitic s— and Adidas cannot drop me,” and drop Adidas did!
Adidas in its press statement said it has, “taken the decision to terminate the partnership with Ye immediately, end production of Yeezy branded products and stop all payments to Ye and his companies. Adidas will stop the Adidas Yeezy business with immediate effect.”
Ye strikes again! Says George Floyd died from fentanyl use.
Ye has new theories about George Floyd’s death. He believes that George Floyd died due to a fentanyl overdose and not from ex-cop Derek Chauvin kneeling on his neck for over eight minutes. The Donda rapper was a guest at the Drink Champs podcast hosted by rapper N.O.R.E and DJ EFN when he mentioned this controversial statement.
In response to this, George Floyd’s family announced on Tuesday that they will file a $250 million lawsuit against Kanye West. The lawsuit will be filed by Roxie Washington, who is the mother of minor Gianna Floyd: George Floyd’s only daughter.
Attorneys of the Floyd family have already issued a cease-and-desist letter to Ye for his comments. They further plan on suing Ye and his business partners for, “harassment, misappropriation, defamation and infliction of emotional distress”.
“Kanye’s comments are a repugnant attempt to discount George Floyd’s life and to profit from his inhumane death,” said Attorney Pat D. Dixon III. “We will hold Mr. West accountable for his flagrant remarks against Mr. Floyd’s legacy.”
Rapper Kanye West shifts to Parler after his Twitter and Instagram accounts got suspended
Rapper Kanye West has agreed to buy a right-wing social media platform, Parler, as a result of a consecutive suspension of his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
The singer’s Instagram account was locked last week for posting antisemitic messages accusing his fellow rapper Sean Combs of being controlled by Jewish people.
Kanye, who now goes by Ye, responded to this suspension in his tweet which said he would go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.’
The incident made Twitter also bar Ye’s account and so the rapper decided to buy the conservative social media app that emerged in the Donald Trump period.
In a statement released by the Parler, Ye said, “In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves.”
Parler is mostly used by US conservatives and the company describes itself as a free speech alternative to mainstream platforms.
The app was downloaded 90,000 times last month which is smaller than the 9 million Twitter downloads, reports from Sensor Tower.
George Farmer, CEO of Parlement Technologies, said in a statement, “Kanye will never have to fear being removed from social media again.”
Regarding his anti-Semitic remarks, Kanye West said, “I’m happy I crossed the line.”
On Wednesday evening, after watching Candace Owen’s newest documentary, Kanye West spoke that all of the companies that have dropped him since his most recent social media outbursts, including Adidas and JP Morgan Chase.
He said to photographers, “Hey if you call somebody out for bad business, that means you’re being anti-Semitic. I feel happy to have crossed the line of that idea so we can speak openly about things like getting canceled by a bank”
After Kanye posted, “When I wake up, I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” Twitter disabled his account on Saturday.
He added, ‘The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to blackball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.’
Instagram also disabled his posts for allegedly breaking its rules.
Owens herself disclosed that West had been given until November by JP Morgan Chase to locate another bank to retain his multibillion-dollar company Yeezy.
She tweeted, attaching a picture of the notification, “I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to the bank”
Kanye West claims the media is keeping Lizzo fat!
It has been the week of Kanye West! The rapper and fashion designer divided the political audience this week by wearing a “White Lives Matter” t-shirt to Paris Fashion Week. Now, he is in the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show claiming,
“When Lizzo loses 10 pounds and announces it, the bots … attack her for losing weight because the media wants to put out a perception that being overweight is the new goal when it’s actually unhealthy,”.
He doubled down by calling people promoting body positivity to be “demonic” and, “it’s genocide of the Black race. They want to kill us in any way they can.”
He implies that he’s not being a grown man to deal with the fact that he lost his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Kid Cudi in his recent interview with Esquire implied that Kanye West is not being a grown man to deal with the fact that he lost his ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Kid Cudi and Kanye West were publicly feuding for the past year and there’s no sign of it stopping.
“If you can’t be a grown man and deal with the fact that you lost your woman? That’s not my f–king problem. You need to own up to your s–t like every man in this life has,” Cudi, 38, told Esquire in a story published Wednesday.
“I’ve lost women, too. And I’ve had to own up to it. I don’t need that in my life. I don’t need it.”

Just a few days back, Kim Kardashian revealed that her ex-husband Kanye West “told me that my career is over” in a trailer of her upcoming reality series on Hulu, The Kardashians. However, the reality turns out quite opposite. After a series of online attacks by Kanye West orchestrated at Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson whom she was dating now, the rapper was not just blocked by Instagram for a while but also by the Grammys.
The rapper who was signed up to perform at the Grammys on April 3 was removed from the list of performers. The news was initially reported by The Blast which sought the reason for the removal was Kanye’s recent “concerning online behavior” towards Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson and her ex-wife. He also faced strong criticism for his racial slur against The Daily Show’s host Trevor Noah who is the writing partner of Pete Davidson’s comedy.
The news was yet to be confirmed by the spokesperson of the Grammys. However, the representative of Kanye West confirmed the removal to a few media outlets. Also, Trever Noah tweeted recently “I said counsel Kanye not cancel Kanye.”
The Daily Show comedian previously called Kanye West’s behavior getting “more and more belligerent.” He said, “What we’re seeing here is one of the most powerful, one of the richest women in the world unable to get her ex to stop texting her, to stop chasing after her, to stop harassing her.”

Kanye’s statement comes post he said he is contesting as a presidential candidate in spite of being absent for ballots in various states.
He also emphasized to Forbes that his contesting is not publicity and said that he has no problem with the perception that his plan for running for the presidential election will potentially grab votes away from Joe Biden.

“I’m not saying Trump’s in my way, he may be a part of my way. And Joe Biden? Like come on man, please,” the publication also quoted West as saying. “You know? Obama’s special. Trump’s special.

Speaking to Forbes he stated: ‘It’s so many of our children that are being vaccinated and paralyzed… So when they say the way we’re going to fix COVID is with a vaccine, I’m extremely cautious. That’s the mark of the beast.’
‘They want to put chips inside of us, they want to do all kinds of things, to make it where we can’t cross the gates of heaven. I’m sorry when I say they, the humans that have the Devil inside them. And the sad thing is that the saddest thing is that we all won’t make it to heaven, that there’ll be some of us that do not make it.’
‘And when asked about getting cured, Kanye told: ‘It’s all about God. We need to stop doing things that make God mad.’

Post Kanye said on Twitter that he was thinking to split from Kim Kardashian after she met Meek Mill in 2018 at a hotel which quite created a stir in the news. As per reports, the rapper was completely worried about it.
Eventually, he should have felt ‘disrespectful’ that he had gone to the extreme thought of divorcing her.
Yet an insider gave more info about the incident and how it hit their marriage hard. With that on one side, another source revealed that ‘Kim and Meek Mill met at his hotel in 2018 to discuss prison reform because she had her show coming out. When Kanye found out it really upset him, but it was all business.’
The source also added that the meeting also had philanthropist Clara Wu Tsai which created a feud between the popular pair.
‘Kanye thought there was more going on but there never was and Kim didn’t know why he felt that way. He didn’t know Kim was taking the meeting and they got into an argument over it and he felt disrespected. Kim never understood why Kanye thought something was going on, but Meek has been very helpful to Kim when it comes to her knowledge of prison reform and helping others and she’s very thankful to him for that.’
To clear the chaos a photo showed the three having lunch at Waldorf Astoria’s The Rooftop by JG hotel in Beverly Hills in 2018.
The pic also showed that Mill and Clara were keenly listening to Kim who had started the discussion and was immersed and focused.
