Kanye West Goes On A Twitter Rant Following Wild Grammy Appearance (See The Posts)

BY Dora Abena Dzaka February 8, 2025 11:03 AM EDT

Though this is the usual Kanye we know, the rapper’s latest Twitter rant is, unsurprisingly, highly offensive.

His rant comes days after making headlines for his appearance at the Grammys red carpet, where his wife Bianca Censori wore a revealing nude dress, and his interview with Justin LaBoy, in which he revealed his autism diagnosis.

West is back in the news; this time, it’s for a lengthy rant on X (formerly Twitter), which is the rapper’s preferred social media platform. 

In this latest rant, he takes some controversial stances; ranging from calling for Diddy’s release from jail, referring to him as his “idol,” and expressing his support for Chris Brown.

Ye also revealed his love and adoration for Adolf Hitler, saying he was “fresh” and even referring to himself as “Yaydolf Hitler.” 

West is known for such rants, but the last time he went on this scale of rant, several of his biggest sponsors dropped him, including Adidas and Balenciaga

As West is now an independent artiste with no major backers, he feels emboldened to say whatever he wants, something he suggested was the case elsewhere in his meltdown.

Kanye West has survived controversy after controversy for almost two decades. 

Surprisingly, Kanye’s fans are among the most loyal in entertainment, and it will be interesting to see how they, and the public at large, react to a rant where he doubles down on many of his most abhorrent beliefs.

So as this rant will almost certainly be deleted in the future, Afrobeatzplus has embedded a few of the tweets in the article below.
