Kanye West an American rapper and songwriter recently made some statements that have proven to be dreadful and condemnable as to others. The recent incident where he said that Hitler like every human brought value to the world. He further added that he sees good things about the Nazi founder, which has hurt the sentiments of many people in the world.
He went on and praised Hitler continuing his antisemitic statements while giving an interview on “The Infowars” talk show of Alex Jones. He made some jokes about former Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Many have condemned his speech in various ways and it is also proving dangerous for his career. Some people on Twitter tweeted saying that anyone who supports or praises Hitler should be deprived of oxygen on any social platform. While some said those, who are still listening to him are no less than a Nazi and his antisemitic statements can create incitement.
While people condemned him over Twitter, few like Adidas, CAA, and MRC have ended their professional ties with him and Pusha T has commented on his statements as disappointing. Kanye says he lost $2 billion in October on a single day.
Some of the users asked Elon Musk to suspend his Twitter account and Twitter restricted one of Ye’s tweets in response. Twitter had restored the account of the rapper, before the completion of the social media platform’s $44 billion takeover by Musk. However, he later clarified that he had no role in bringing Ye back on Twitter.
All this feud has affected the rapper’s social life and career and proven to be a threat to his future endeavors. Elon Musk who calls himself a free speech absolutist had brought him back on Twitter but later said,
“I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended.”
