US musician and fashion designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, found himself at the center of a new major scandal on Friday, after he made dozens of offensive posts on X.
In a series of now-deleted all-caps posts, the rapper declared himself โa Naziโ and professed his โloveโ for Adolf Hitler, insisting that โracist stereo types [sic] exist for a reason and they all be true.โ The offensive posts largely targeted the Jewish community and contained assorted anti-Semitic claims.

โSome of my best friends are Jewish and I donโt trust any of them,โ Ye revealed in one of the posts. The rapper also pledged to buy โtwo Maybachs tomorrowโ and โmake the Jewish person whoโs selling it to me read all these tweet [sic].โ
โAnd I bet you see me whipping Maybachs,โ he added.

The rapper also claimed that โall white people are racist,โ alleging that โJewish people actually hate white people and use black people.โ Ye also appeared to stand by his previous hateful remarks, stating he would never apologize for them and suggesting that Jews should apologize to him instead.
โIโm never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f*ck I wanna say forever. Whereโs my f*cking apology for freezing my accounts,โ he stated.
Ye also gave a shoutout of sorts to X owner Elon Musk, claiming that every post he produced โpromotes Elonโs platform.โ He made reference to a controversy connected with US President Donald Trumpโs inauguration, when the billionaire made questionable gestures perceived by some as a Nazi salute. Musk dismissed such allegations as โdirty tricksโ and โpure propaganda.โ
ELON STOLE MY NAZI SWAG AT THE INAUGURATION YOOOO MY GUY GET YOUR OWN THIRD RALE

โElon stole my Nazi Swag at the inauguration,โ the rapper wrote.
The outburst prompted a storm of criticism from various rights groups and Jewish organizations that condemned the musician over his anti-Semitism. โOnce again, Kanye West has spewed vile antisemitism, glorifying Hitler and spreading Nazi propaganda on his social media platforms in a desperate bid for attention,โ Jewish Future Promise president Hadara Ishak wrote, branding the remarks not only โoffensiveโ but โdangerousโ as well.

Shortly after the rapper produced his explosive X thread, Russian designer Gosha Rubchinskiy announced he was ending his collaboration with Yeโs fashion brand. It was not immediately clear whether the designerโs move was linked to the outburst.
โIโm deeply grateful to Ye and the entire YEEZY team for a memorable experience โ one that will always stay with me,โ Rubchinsky wrote on Instagram.
Ye is notorious for publicly expressing anti-Semitic views and has gone on hate tweeting binges before. A major outburst occurred in late 2022, when the rapper also professed his love for Hitler and declared himself a Nazi. At the time, the posts yielded the rapper a ban on X, while several major companies ended their collaborations with him.
The rapper produced an apology in Hebrew for his behavior about a year after the 2022 X scandal, only to face more criticism from rights groups that questioned his motives and choice of language.
