Kanye West has sparked more backlash online, this time over a series of shocking tweets that touch on sensitive topics like race, his past controversial swastika shirt, and his strained relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.
These recent remarks follow claims from insiders that Kardashian is facing growing family tension over West’s divisive comments.
Race and Economic Power in Kanye’s Tweets
West, 47, took to his Twitter-like platform X to express his thoughts on race, power, and economic influence.
He started by tweeting that “we’re taught racism… and then told not to be racist,” before discussing the struggles of Black Americans in society.
West, who is outspoken about his views, went on to argue that Black people don’t control the Black dollar and that the key to empowerment is working together as a group.
He made it clear that he believes financial power should be central to the conversation about racial issues.
In his message, West also lashed out at people he described as “broke,” saying they shouldn’t speak up when successful people are sharing their insights.
He used aggressive language in response to critics, boldly declaring that any comments against him would only make the critics “more broke.”
He claimed that he’s “just made 17 million dollars 17 minutes ago” and cited his successful 2007 album Graduation as proof of his financial prowess.
Swastika Shirt Controversy and Super Bowl Plans
Adding more fuel to the fire, West addressed the controversial swastika shirt that he had been selling on his Yeezy website.
The shirt, which was pulled down by Shopify following public outrage, features a swastika symbol in the center, a symbol many people find deeply offensive.
West made headlines when he claimed that he would wear the shirt while performing at next year’s Super Bowl.
He mocked the controversy by saying, “People with money bought my little T-shirt,” referencing the shirt as his “wittle” T-shirt, despite the outrage it caused.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned West’s actions, calling the shirt “vile antisemitism” and accusing him of perpetuating hate by selling it online.
The ADL also pointed out that the shirt was marketed with “HH-01,” which they interpreted as a code for “Heil Hitler.”
This further fueled concerns about West’s views on race and anti-Semitism.
Family Tension Involving Kim Kardashian and Scott Disick
West’s remarks also seem to have ignited tension within his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s family.
According to insiders, Kardashian has been under pressure from her family—especially from Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney Kardashian’s children—to publicly condemn West’s comments.
Disick, who was raised Jewish, is said to be furious that Kim has not spoken out against her ex-husband’s hateful remarks.
This family rift is reportedly affecting Kardashian’s relationships, especially as she navigates her public persona and her ongoing relationship with her children.
Controversy and Backlash Against Kanye’s Business Practices
The fallout from West’s comments extends beyond social media.
Shopify’s swift action in removing the swastika T-shirt from his website earned praise from anti-Semitism watchdog groups like CyberWell, which had alerted the platform to the violation.
CyberWell’s founder, Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor, commended Shopify for taking a stand and removing Yeezy’s store.
Montemayor emphasized that platforms and services should not tolerate hate speech or exploitation, highlighting the need for more accountability from social media and digital service companies.
While West continues to stir up controversy with his remarks, his influence remains undeniable.
His ability to provoke conversation, whether through music or business ventures, keeps him at the center of the public eye.
However, the consequences of his actions are increasingly apparent, particularly within his family dynamics and professional relationships.
