Can't see a Kanye thread - if he wasn't finished already, today's the last straw, surely?

Just that really

Sad that a man with his talent in music, producing and fashion design could be so monumentally stupid.

This is it for him now and there is no way back. Good.

I feel for his kids.

I think the difference is Britney’s father applied for a conservatorship. They aren’t just randomly given.

Nobody is doing that for Kanye.

I don't think he has anyone who loves him enough tbh, i suspect his mum was it

I don’t use X.

So could not read his latest rant.

I'm sorry but I can't let you get away with this - you might not be on X but you were aware he'd said he loves H!tler. That's enough for people who don't hold anti-Semitic views to go "oh yeah, that's anti-Semitic and not ok". Instead you said something about being a Nazi not necessarily meaning you're anti-Semitic?! I mean, come on.

TomatoSandwiches · 07/02/2025 18:35

My concern is yes he's an anti semite, yes he is likely mentally unwell but you don't have to be bipolar to be a nazi.
I don't want him free to incite hate and acts of violence on others AND I don't want him to potentially be labeled a victim ( of his own making ) Because of his mental illness when it happens, the seriousness of how heinous he is will be downplayed and excused in those circumstances.
I'm also worried about what his children are being exposed to around him and his wife.

Enough to make you sick really.

JHound · 07/02/2025 18:37

Humdingerydoo · 07/02/2025 18:28

Yes, great that you cancelled him ages ago. It's just a shame you are not recognising his blatantly anti-Semitic comments as anti-semitic.

And I'm not sure where exactly you think I've arrived from - your post doesn't make any sense. It's like you think we've been having a different conversation from what we've actually been having?!

Edited

You seemed shocked that his posts anti-semitic posts ON X have received tens of thousands of likes.

People like me have been sounding the alarm on the cesspit of hate that is X for ages.

I was pointing out you are really late to the party on that front but glad you could finally make it.

PullTheBricksDown · 07/02/2025 18:14

No, Musk won't do anything, but it does at least make his own views clear in case anyone was in any doubt.

Hasn't Kanye also just announced he's autistic? Infuriating

He said he's autistic and then was using the 'r word'

As a SEN mum - prick 😒

Yes I was. Because that sentence was posted on this thread.

Booboobagins · 07/02/2025 18:38

You do all know he wouldn't fall into Diddys plans so was pushed out, don't you?

But so many happy to condemned him and his mental health condition...

JHound · 07/02/2025 18:08

What’s the point of outrage anymore when I know that nothing will come of it.

I cancelled Kanye before it became popular (specifically, Golddigger was my ending point).

He hasn’t been cancelled for his anti-blackness
He has not been cancelled for his anti-semitism
He has not been cancelled for his misogynoir
He has not been cancelled for multiple partners alleging coercive control.

He has even been given his X platform back by a fellow Nazi.

So at this point all I can do is cleanse him from my Spotify list and move on with my life.

Edited

This is kind of the point for me. If he's acceptable when he's a sexist pig in (and out of) his music, what difference does racism and anti semitism make? Might as well declare himself a paedophile next. He's not shifting off my playlists anytime soon, I like his music.

Yeah - I don’t know “how it can be the point for you” when what I said is very different to your stance.

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 07/02/2025 18:41

I think

That musk and co are egging him on

Telling him to show his commitment to the maga cause

Then laughing at him when he's not in the room

I think that's it - and he's so naive he can't see it

I wonder whether Jay z was looking after him, because he definitely needed it

And I'm not excusing his anti semitic, shocking misogyny or anti blackness, as he is all those things

He's also unable to see he's being played

I've been at the party so long I was never even on X 🤦🏻‍♀️ because I'm aware of what goes on there and always have been aware. So I never joined.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 07/02/2025 18:42

I was informed by a poster recently that he couldn't possibly be a deeply unpleasant person as well as being unwell and that he's a very vulnerable soul that people are picking on purely due to his ethnicity.

Nope, still can't see it.

Well Musk has also retweeted anti-semitic tweets so he will give West a platform until it starts to impact his money.

Porcuporpoise · 07/02/2025 18:42

mumofoneAlonebutokay · 07/02/2025 18:29

I mean, he's surely emboldened by trump winning but the money will dry up surely?

I hope you're right but it never has before.

LuckyPeonies · 07/02/2025 18:21

The billboard article is dated Feb. 13 2024, so last year. Has he restated this recently?

Today on twitter

He's a useful idiot for people who despise Kanye's own ethnic group as much as they despise Jews.

The problem is that he's protected by money. The sad thing is that he's IMO very mentally unwell.

LBFseBrom · 07/02/2025 18:45

What has he done and why does anybody care? I know he went to an awards thing with his lady who was almost nude a few days ago, that was much photographed for some reason.

I don’t think you have arrived though because you still seem shocked that a site which is basically just a much larger Stormfront showed such support for Kanye’s tweets.

And when it was owned by Jack Dorsey it was fine. You chose not to be on it but not because it was a cesspit of hate. That happened when Musk took over.

But I really don’t understand why you are having such a tizzy over me having boycotted West and refusing to use X but not doing it in the specific manner you want “outrage” to be shown on MN.

JHound · 07/02/2025 18:46

ChachiChichi · 07/02/2025 18:43

But you are choosing to monetise somebody who is misogynistic, misogynoirist, racist and anti-semitic. I am not. That’s a big difference.

Could you explain more - do you mean Diddy ousted him?

And what format did that “showing solidarity” take?

I left X ages ago as a form of protest - have you?

Out of interest can you tell me what you think about the 300 farmers that have been murdered in SA for doing nothing more than be white. Is this ok? Referring to Elon as the son of apartheid is a bit much really.

Errol (Elons dad) was elected to the Pretoria City Council as part of the Progressive Party when Elon was a child. They were very anti-apartheid.

He moved to Canada at 18 specifically to avoid enlistment as part of the apartheid.

I really struggle with your definition

He went on one of his wild, deranged social media rants which he does every so often when he feels he is not getting enough attention. Racist and anti-semitic from what I hear. And also showing support for industry predators such as Diddy.

SheridansPortSalut · 07/02/2025 18:47

I read this recently on CNN and was expecting there would be fall out -

"West, who changed his name to Ye, said he was previously misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I went to this doctor … My wife took me to do that because she said, ‘Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar, I’ve seen bipolar before.’ And I’ve come to find that it’s really a case of autism that I have,” West said."

“I haven’t taken the medication since I found out that bipolar wasn’t the right diagnosis”

There are some women that will defend a black man no matter what, just need to ignore 🤭
