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.

Hard agree, there emotional spiral coming for Kanye when his 'new real friends' ditch him will be sad.

I think that, even more significant than his long-term mental health struggles, is the fact that, like many rich and powerful people, he is surrounded by yes men who humour him and agree with his most egregious of pronouncements so as not to end up falling out of favour with him. If he had people around him who genuinely cared for him and weren't just scared of losing access to his wealth and fame, they'd be willing to intervene and be honest with him about his behaviour so he doesn't end up in an echo chamber where he believes he is always right because nobody has ever challenged him on his hateful speech.
I'm also not sure it is fair to other people with mental health issues to excuse all of Kanye's appalling behaviour on his conditions, while it may be a contributing factor, it does not absolve him of all personal responsibility and most people with his conditions do not behave like this.

I think he just truly believes there's no such thing as bad publicity & does this all for press.

Oh FFS, it was not fine when it was Twitter either, it was just slightly better regulated. No social media is fine, MN included.

I don't care when you boycotted Kanye West or X, I care about you saying that praising Hitler isn't anti-Semitic and just because you're a nazi doesn't mean you're anti-Semitic. I'm paraphrasing, but that's what you were saying. I take great issue with both those things.

I've just read some screen shots on Reddit. He is all over the place, like some drunk walking away and then coming back and saying "and another thing". He's taken umbrage at the replies to him obviously, the most bizarre one (and I can only see the response) is to someone who has I assume pointed out that he isn't using there, their and they're correctly. Hopefully a Mumsnet user with a Reddit account. Is it a psychotic rant or just a rant of a very rich very indulged man? I am tempted towards the latter.

I don’t know. Last night was bad, v bad. He was clearly spiralling. I don’t think it was some intectualised attempt at publicity.

my personal view is they both have signficant mental health problems. In different ways. Bianca is an exhibitionist who wants to get naked in public for publicity, that is calculated.

kanye has different mental health issues, he’s clearly deeply unwell. Together they are a mess.

😩 that made me laugh, definitely a mumsnet user pissed at the language but most of all the shocking spelling 😄😄

I refer to Elon as the son of apartheid because of his clear racism, history of supporting far right parties and retweeting of racist posts. Also the fact he has happily turned X into a racist wasteland. I think he repeatedly demonstrates that to him, apartheid South Africa was more than just an accident of his birth but something that deeply informs his world view.

(Nevermind the Nazi salutes).

I don’t care how that you think it’s “a bit much” it. I have no desire to be “fair” to racists.

I don’t know why you are all getting so worked up and upsetting yourselves.

He is clearly unwell and deeply disturbed. Just ignore him. If there was a lunatic running around the street you’d go inside and close the door.

Honestly, it's not him I'm worried about. It's the amount of support he's been getting for his comments that worries me.

Sorry this imagery has really made me laugh for some reason!

He has contempt for Black and Jewish people. He's a vile scumbag.

Yeah, it's not like anything bad has ever happened because of someone whipping up a load of anti semitism. 😒

She looks dead inside, like a beaten dog.

I think it's the amount of people who are liking his mad antisemitic rants that people find worrying.

This ^

I'm not buying the beaten dog act at all. She wouldn't be posing for maximum curves, ankles crossed, boobs thrust forward, bum back, if she wasn't in control. I think that is a feigned look on her face of being the lost little helpless waif of a woman and it's just part of the spiel. In my experience, women who are controlled/abused usually "smile" to hide their fear, or at least their body language looks sort of defeated - shoulders hunched etc. There are pictures of her out and about having a great time almost naked. I think it fuels their sex life. He probably gets off on the thought that other men are fantasising about his wife. It's not his only weirdness, doesn't he want to have sex with his wives' mothers?

Whoo hoo, images are back! 🥳 So I'm adding these for readers who claim they can't read tweets on twitX. No comment from me, I don't care enough.

How is that political?

Do you know, Kanye West has roughly double the amount of followers as there are Jews in the world.
And I don’t know if he’s crazy or going through an episode of something or whatever. But we (Jews) see a popular figure with a huge platform spewing hatred like this, and it’s chilling.

He's a deeply unpleasant person who is deeply unwell.

It's not a great combination.

He doesn’t need help. He needs locking the fuck up.

It not just the antisemitism. Or the misogyny. Or the racism. Or the hatred of immigrants. Or the love for Hitler. Or the belief in a master race. Or x, y, z, whatever fucking horrible stuff he’s spouting this week.

Autism and bipolar does not make you a N*zi and abuser and frankly it’s disgusting that is being used as an excuse. It’s not about “being off the meds”, he’s a fucking horrible excuse for a human and an outright waste of oxygen. And still, he has a fucking platform for similarly minded people to gravitate to.

Hate to break it to him but Hitler wouldn't have lived him. Idiot.

Loved him I mean.

Have you seen what Musk writes about Muslims and immigrants on Twitter? He is disgusting. Whatever his background.

As is KW. And Trump.

They all deserve each other.
