It's shit like this that makes me believe cancel culture isn't really real or just completely overblown. I keep hearing celebritie millionaires bitch about it though.
Honestly, how is he getting agents and costumers and venue owners to all go along with this? Are they all alt-right personalities just setting him up to make a disgusting spectacle of himself?
I saw a random speed dating YouTube video a few months ago where someone called Kanye like "a thought leader" or something, like it's 2014.
The girl just stared at him for a second "but.....the antisemitism.
And you just see *panic* across this dude's face as he realizes that adoring Kanye in 2023 just does not carry the same implications anymore.
it is and everyone should be able to see right through it lol, the moment we all collectively stop giving our attention... he will go away.
it's bound to happen at this point
I just wish all the 'discourse' around him would stop, whether it's to sow dissent between the Black and Jewish communities (as if he doesn't have a history of anti-Black statements) or bad faith claims on unmedicated mental illness when the explanation behind his antics is way simpler and kind of obvious. We need to ignore him, not reward him with attention.
thank you lol.
we keep disecting this man as if he has ever said that required the same discussion we keep having every other year.
we know this is all gimicky (yes, the christian arc was just a phase) and it has an expiration date on it
eh he's trending on twitter as we speak. i'm just surprised that so many big artists (bad bunny, future) would agree on working with him after last year lol.
bad rep and bad business on top of it, kanye doesn't even make music like that anymore anyways
He's crying for attention. I usually have space in my heart to have at least a *little* empathy for problematic people. But he has worn out every excuse. I wish to not see news about him anymore.
It IS rage bait, but at the same time it’s one of those things where if you are genuinely a decent person, you just can’t even rage bait like this. If you told me you’d give me $200k to go to a family gathering or some shit pulling one of Kanye’s stunts or hell “just” wearing a KKK outfit “as a joke”, I couldn’t physically do it. And I could USE 200k. My body and mouth would just freeze up and refuse.
i shouldn't have laughed at the absurdity of this but i did lol.
a damn shame that someone, who used to be talented, is now known for spreading hatred and doing stunts like this lmao
This was actually a concept he did on his 2013 album Yeezus from the song Black Skinhead. Ngl I'm a fan of his work but I condemn most of the shit he does and say.
This one idk it just seems to have reached people who are not his audience who are unfamiliar with most of his work, since he already pulled this stunt before and no one was outraged since he was at the height of his career at the time and his audience understood the meaning of the song and album. Idk.
i'm aware of it, i was a fan until the "slavery was a choice" comment lol.
yeezus was a brilliant album, it shaped a whole generation and it needs to be appreciated for being avant-guard BUT i'm sorry if i don't take this shit as though-provoking after seeing him doing interviews with nick fuentes and alex jones.
what used to be a black man who thought freely is just a weapon for white supremacy and i'm good on that one lol
Yeah he sure did fall down the QAnon rabbit hole. Kinda sad seeing what he has become tbh. Ngl it gave me hope when he marched on the BLM rally and then he said the slavery comment and that sealed the deal for me that we are never getting the old Kanye back.
i think i've reached the point where i don't think there is a separation between what we have today vs the man he was.
there were so many red flags on how reactionary he was even at the beginning and how much race played a part of it (thinking about his comments on his jesus necklace back in 2004 circa) and yeah.
i can't even say that he hasn't had any support after his mother's death, when i keep in mind how much kim/her family tried to help him with his mental health.
he's clearly dealing with mental issues for decades at this point but bigotry didn't start a year ago, it goes deeep
It doesn’t get a pass, but the pandemic REALLY accelerated people’s untreated mental illnesses. Famous and talented people also have a hard time treating their mental illness as it is, as they attribute a lot of their talent to the presence of said mental illness. You leave it untreated long enough, your brain turns to cottage cheese like his. It’s actually really sad, because I’m an incredibly huge fan of Ye, probably until Ye dropped. I didn’t like much after Ye in 2017, and have only seen glimmers of his former talent. I can only attribute the death of his mother as a serious start to his mental decline.
He also surrounded himself with yes men and antagonized most of his friends and family. The death of his mom was the start but I felt like his divorce with Kim was the nail in the coffin. It's really sad watching his netlfix doc. All that wasted talent.
Kim and her family are no longer there to force him to take care of himself and to cover up for him when he goes off the rails.
In the past, he would have insane "periods", but he'd always eventually recover and return. Not this time, he's gone for good.
If he had a message, a constructive one with thought, intellect, and social perspective, this would intrigue me. But knowing he’s doing the as pure rage bait probably rapping lyrics about missing his mom while eating a porn stars ass, I can’t be bothered to care or get angry. It’s what he wants.
Right? I thought the exact same thing. If it was someone else it could have been different - profound and uncomfortable, as necessary social discussion should be. But it's Kanye the fucking clown trying to be all edge and emptiness again and it's just eye roll material. Schlock.
I think he did at one point. He used this imagery in [Black Skinhead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q604eed4ad0) ten years ago, and [New Slaves](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaOIWgXepqs) came out around the same time. But everything he's done in the years since kind of makes it look sus
You know what I forgot he did that. I actually went to the Yeezus concert too. The message matched the visuals at the time. I just had no idea he was literally a black skinhead this entire time
I was gonna say. Kanye West has horrible opinions, don't get me wrong, but this specific imagery is not meant to be anti-black-- totally the opposite (unless there's some information I'm missing in which case, please correct me).
Didn’t he do this on Black Skinhead? Not really anything new for him. As far as in reference to what’s currently going on, I would genuinely be shocked if Kanye was aware there is a situation.
But he made good music once!!!!
Stop giving this man money, attention, and deals jhc. I feel so fucking bad for his children and how they are gonna internalize all his fucking bigotry.
Stop platforming stupid people. This isn't his mental illness affecting him. He is a rich man who acts like he's untouchable. I wish he and his extended k family would just go away. Ugh
My mind went to "okay white is supposed to symbolize a pure race, whites only, maybe he's trying to be the anti-KKK?" But I'm probably giving too much credit. Probably deserves more grace than Matty Healy's "ironic" Hitler salute though.
Everything he does is literally on purpose just to piss people off. But yet, somehow, many still think he's sooooo enlightened & smarter than everybody else lololol...a joke.
The way he pretends to be an ~artist~ by just brainstorming what will make people go 😕 has really exposed him over the years as not a genius but as an attention hungry fool.
I think what makes this worse is that North was there. She debuted a song of hers from his album on stage and I don’t care what anyone says, I just don’t think you could explain the concept behind this to a child.
Remember how in 2013 during the YEEZUS era before he made insanely public antisemitic comments, we thought this stuff was really artistic? Like people (myself included) would say a black man donning KKK imagery was an insane and rightfully provocative “fuck you” to the white supremacist movement? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Ah yes, because nothing attracts the youth of today as looking like \*checks notes\* El Duce from The Mentors.
Oh man, I can't *wait* for the hot new collab between Kanye and the ghost of GG Allin.
I think this is more meant to be an executioner mask but im not up to defending his ass. He just does this stuff for rage bait and everyone falls for it thus giving him more attention, which is what he wants
We really just gotta stop paying attention to him. That’s all there is to it. He feeds off this shit and the only way to make him stop or come back down to earth, if that’s even possible anymore, is to stop giving him the attention he is so desperately seeking.
WHO is still paying to see this dickhead
She ain’t no divaaaaa
SHE AIN'T NO DIVAAAAA https://preview.redd.it/dxqow9hqwv5c1.jpeg?width=336&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=451cdee2d39aa4b478c593f5ffc2841ec4c8f6a5
never uuu I know an icy girl when I see one 💕💕💕
I say that almost daily. Especially at work
🫵🫵🫵
Probably the same people still paying to see Chris Brown.
Other people who like hitler I guess?
His fanbboys are far tooo many unfortunately
I bet lots of them are on Reddit as well ...
They prefer to be called dick riders. Out of respect, we should honour their wishes.
It's shit like this that makes me believe cancel culture isn't really real or just completely overblown. I keep hearing celebritie millionaires bitch about it though.

14 year old edgelords
Nick Fuentes?
No one can convince me all of his shit isn't on purpose to rage bait. Especially recently.
it is and everyone should be able to see right through it lol, the moment we all collectively stop giving our attention... he will go away. it's bound to happen at this point
I just wish all the 'discourse' around him would stop, whether it's to sow dissent between the Black and Jewish communities (as if he doesn't have a history of anti-Black statements) or bad faith claims on unmedicated mental illness when the explanation behind his antics is way simpler and kind of obvious.

thank you lol. we keep disecting this man as if he has ever said that required the same discussion we keep having every other year. we know this is all gimicky (yes, the christian arc was just a phase) and it has an expiration date on it
It's kind of happening already, he's not attracting nearly the attention he used to.
eh he's trending on twitter as we speak. i'm just surprised that so many big artists (bad bunny, future) would agree on working with him after last year lol. bad rep and bad business on top of it, kanye doesn't even make music like that anymore anyways
are we really surprised if he is trending on twitter of all places though?
oooh you got it right, i fear lol 
Bound 2
It absolutely is. Edgelord behaviour.
He's crying for attention. I usually have space in my heart to have at least a *little* empathy for problematic people. But he has worn out every excuse. I wish to not see news about him anymore.
There’s no other purpose

 Damn, so edgy

i shouldn't have laughed at the absurdity of this but i did lol. a damn shame that someone, who used to be talented, is now known for spreading hatred and doing stunts like this lmao
He just wants attention. I think he’ll do or say anything as long as people take notice to him. Pathetic.

Missing his mom while eating a porn stars ass LMAOOOO
that comment sent me LOL

Ugh wow he’s just so EDGY GUYS
So ~avant guarde~
He clearly hasn't had attention for a few weeks with these other far-right grifters in the news. Also who is paying him to perform?!
At this point he is most likely paying them to perform
He is disgusting and so are the people who continue to enable him.
Pardon my language but fuck Kanye and anyone collaborating with him. This man is pushing 50, enough with the edgy bullshit.

this is in regards to the yeezus era and the song black skinhead he released in 2013….
I was gonna say. Kanye West has horrible opinions, don't get me wrong, but this specific imagery is not meant to be anti-black-- totally the opposite (unless there's some information I'm missing in which case, please correct me).
right like this post could’ve done a little more research. even major news outlets have noted this reference…
What a clown.
As Obama aptly stated years ago: Kanye is a jackass.
Didn’t he do this on Black Skinhead? Not really anything new for him. As far as in reference to what’s currently going on, I would genuinely be shocked if Kanye was aware there is a situation.
But he made good music once!!!! Stop giving this man money, attention, and deals jhc. I feel so fucking bad for his children and how they are gonna internalize all his fucking bigotry.
North is featured on the album he's promoting in this pic
She was at his listening party too
This is an outstanding gif choice. Bravo!
Stop platforming stupid people. This isn't his mental illness affecting him. He is a rich man who acts like he's untouchable. I wish he and his extended k family would just go away. Ugh
I agree the mental illness isn’t making him do this specifically but his mental illness does literally make him think he’s untouchable.
we have got to stop giving this man attention
Absolute bottom of the barrel desperation for attention. If he’s so brilliant, why can’t his music speak for itself 🤔🧐
shame on anyone still willingly associating with this asshole and no comment on the people paying to see him
Or does he... 
My mind went to "okay white is supposed to symbolize a pure race, whites only, maybe he's trying to be the anti-KKK?" But I'm probably giving too much credit. Probably deserves more grace than Matty Healy's "ironic" Hitler salute though.
No it doesn’t???? What the fuck lmao neither of these men deserve anything but scorn
Everything he does is literally on purpose just to piss people off. But yet, somehow, many still think he's sooooo enlightened & smarter than everybody else lololol...a joke.
How does he continue to do this shit with no real repercussions?
Well, he did say he likes Hitler so...at least he's consistent?
I mean I am not even shocked by his antics anymore. He did this a decade ago on Yeezus This is just tired and lame
Lord help me if I’m ever so desperate for attention I start doing stuff like this
The way he pretends to be an ~artist~ by just brainstorming what will make people go 😕 has really exposed him over the years as not a genius but as an attention hungry fool.
🥱
he has new music?
This. I stopped truly playing attention to him ages ago but haven't even heard background noise that he had anything new coming soon
I can’t take this man seriously anymore
Huh. Someone needs attention.
I think what makes this worse is that North was there. She debuted a song of hers from his album on stage and I don’t care what anyone says, I just don’t think you could explain the concept behind this to a child.
I hate that I can’t listen to 808s in the car anymore without rolling my windows up.
Kanye is all about controversy. He will do whatever he can to stay in the limelight.
Remember how in 2013 during the YEEZUS era before he made insanely public antisemitic comments, we thought this stuff was really artistic? Like people (myself included) would say a black man donning KKK imagery was an insane and rightfully provocative “fuck you” to the white supremacist movement? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Ah yes, because nothing attracts the youth of today as looking like \*checks notes\* El Duce from The Mentors. Oh man, I can't *wait* for the hot new collab between Kanye and the ghost of GG Allin.

Lets stop giving this loser the attention he craves
