Kanye West has retracted unruly comments he published recently on his X (Twitter) account against some minority groups.

In a new post on Wednesday, February 19, he stated that he is “not a Nazi,” upon some reflections. The post follows some anti-Semitic social media posts the Gold Digger rapper had made this month.

His previous unguarded comments led to the deactivation of his X account, and his talent company also rejected him.

Last week, Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori, were reportedly getting a divorce, after two years of marriage. There had not been any public comment from the couple, at the time.

Some reports suggested that both parties had contacted a divorce attorney, with Ye agreeing verbally to give Bianca $5 million to end the relationship, which began in December 2022.

The legal processes, according to sources, were expected to be completed in the days ahead. Other details indicated that Bianca Censori was staying in Los Angeles while Ye had returned to Tokoyo.

The alleged separation came after their appearance at the 67th Grammy, where Bianca was spotted in a nearly-naked dress.

On Sunday, February 9, 2025, Ye was very active on X, talking about the game and trolling his long-time enemy, Taylor Swift. One of his posts was also slapped with a “potentially sensitive content” warning message.

In the last days before the deactivation of his X account, the musician and producer spent time sharing everything and anything on his mind.

From calling out industry figures who turned their backs on him, attacking white people and Jews, labeling himself as a Nazi, and calling for the freedom of jailed rapper Diddy, he let it all out without caring about any consequences.
