Kanye West Pulls The Race Card In Another Nazi Salute Rant On X

Kanye 'Ye' West is back on X with another pressing question bordering on his Nazi apologist stance. The rapper reacted to a viral video on the platform accusing people who reacted to his earlier Nazi rants of being hypocritical.

Kanye 'Ye' West went on a rampage nearly two weeks ago on X, where he swore allegiance to the Nazis and reaffirmed his antisemitic persona.

He was quick to react to a video that caught his attention on X earlier today in a bid to make more excuses for his recent behavior.

The clip featured Donald Trump's former White House strategist Steve Bannon allegedly flashing the Nazi gesture during his Thursday night speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.

Bannon stirred the CPAC audience in Washington, D.C., with an impassioned call to action, urging them to "fight, fight, fight." 

As he spoke, he animatedly stretched his right arm out in a diagonal motion, palm facing down, capturing the crowd's enthusiasm. After soaking in their cheers, he nodded and concluded with a resounding, "Amen."

Seizing the already controversial moment, Ye quoted the viral clip writing, "Whits guys have all the fun."

Since his highly controversial tweet about being a huge fan of Hitler, The Blastshared that the rapper also showed up on the platform to debunk the statements he made subtly. First it was him writing, "After further reflection I've come to the realization that I'm not a Nazi."

Then, shortly before quoting Bannon's content, he also shared, "When I use a swastika, I render myself unusable to users." The rapper faced significant backlash for posting a series of antisemitic, homophobic, and hateful messages on X. 

His viral remarks included statements such as expressing admiration for Hitler, declaring himself a Nazi, and even asking his followers to refer to him as "Yadolf Yitler." He also praised the infamous dictator by claiming, "Hitler was sooooo fresh." 

Since his return to X, Ye has remained active on the platform, addressing various topics and controversies. He gave his piece on the outrage that followed his decision to make the Swastika shirt the only merch on his Shopify page after his Super Bowl commercial.

Following the backlash, the online website took down Ye's page. The designer expressed frustration over the whole drama, saying, "No one seems to wanna produce me wittle t-shirt."

He also reflected on his experiences in Japan, where he was initially shocked to see the swastika on his clothing. However, he later learned about the symbol's diverse meanings and historical significance.

"I remember going to Japan and gasping when I saw what is known as the swastika on clothing. It felt illegal to even look at it [but then] I found out that swastika had many different meanings and many different names," Ye wrote.

Ye added that contrary to what people think of him making the Swastika shirt to troll the Jews, he has actually carried the idea of designing that shirt for 8 years. "It was so intriguing to me that a symbol had so much programming in it," the music producer declared.

The Grammy winner also put Shopify on blast for shutting down his Yeezy website. He described the action as a major victory, stressing his intense dislike for the company.

He raised concerns about the risks associated with using Shopify for e-commerce, emphasizing that the platform controls market data, ultimately benefiting Shopify at the brands' expense. Ye expressed that users should know how their data is utilized and its implications for their businesses. 

The music producer added that despite the backlash following his antisemitic comments on X, he did not experience any financial setbacks, claiming to have made $40 million shortly afterward through various ventures. 

Nevertheless, he acknowledged that his actions led to the departure of some staff, notably losing one of his favored Yeezy designers, Simon, who was responsible for creating his wife Bianca Censori's controversial Grammy outfit.

The Chicago-born rapper was the subject of Sandler's SNL performance, where he joked about learning of his Nazi standing. "50 years of finding out your favorite musician's antisemitic," the actor sang. Ye, however, focused on the part where Sandler referred to him as his favorite musician.

"Adam Sandler, Thank you for the love," he wrote. The rapper also reacted to A$AP Rocky's recent victory in court by reposting several reports affirming his innocence. He then uploaded a video of the "Fashion Killa" rapper throwing a few dancing steps.

How long will Kanye 'Ye' West X's comments impact his life?
