Kanye West Is 'Releasing All Grudges' In Tribute To Queen Elizabeth II

Rapper Kanye West is one of many celebrities who reacted to Queen Elizabeth's death and paid tribute to the late monarch. On September 9th, a day after Buckingham Palace announced the Queen's death, West made an IG post to the Queen and said he's "releasing all grudges."

The "Good Morning" rapper also added two pictures of the late Queen when she was much younger in the tribute post. The palace officially announced that Queen Elizabeth had died with a post on its social media accounts. The statement revealed that she had died peacefully at her Balmoral estate.

The statement also announced that Prince Charles had immediately taken on the title of King and would remain at Balmoral with his Queen Consort, Camilla. West's statement that he's letting go of grudges could mean he's ending his feud with rapper Kid Cudi and Adidas.

Early on September 9th, West made an Instagram post paying tribute to the Late Queen Elizabeth. The first picture in the post was a message that read, "Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today. Leaning into the light." The next pictures in the post were of the late Queen, adorned in jewelry when she was much younger.

In the comment section of West's post, several fans criticized West for not condemning the late Queen as many people had done on social media. One comment read, "Tell that to their victims the UK royal family are peadophiles its well known in the uk lots of Survivors!!...just like hollywierd."

Another comment read, "ye don't tribute her she's literally responsible for commuting genocides and starving people in her colonies." However, many other fans applauded the rapper for paying tribute to such an icon and wrote positive and supportive comments under the post.

Earlier on September 8th, Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth's doctors had become extremely concerned about her health and were closely monitoring her. Shortly after, it was also confirmed that most of the royal family, the Queen's kids and grandkids especially, were traveling to be by her side at Balmoral Castle.

Crowds gathered at the Palace in London, waiting for a positive update on the Queen's health. However, that update never came. By 6:30 pm, the union flag atop the palace was lowered to half-mast, and the palace officials posted the official notice that the Queen had passed on the gates outside.

The same notice went out on the palace's social media accounts, triggering a frenzy on the various platforms. The statements were accompanied by a black and white photo of the late monarch, revealing that she had died peacefully at Balmoral castle.

The announcement of the Queen's death also stated that "The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow." It's a British tradition that the next in line takes on the crown immediately after the death of the reigning monarch.

King Charles subsequently released his own statement about his mother's death. The statement read, "The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family. We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother."

It was later confirmed that the new King would be known as "King Charles III." It's expected that he'll be officially proclaimed the new King at St James's Palace in London on Saturday. The proclamation is just the first step in his ascension to King, and his coronation will come later.

West's statement in his tribute to the late Queen that he's letting "go off all grudges" is interesting because the rapper has previously made it publicly known that he has grudges against several people. These people include comedian Pete Davidson, rapper Kid Cudi, and sports brand Adidas.

The "Praise God" rapper previously made several now-deleted posts on his Instagram, in which he declared that he's feuding with Adidas, whom he recently partnered with via his Yeezy clothing brand. He's also severally verbally attacked Davidson and Cudi and posted several insults at the two men.
