Despite the backlash, he later claimed to be in a “good space” mentally, insisting his outburst had left him with a “sense of peace.”
Marrakech – Kanye West has once again made headlines, and this time his latest controversy is centered around the most important day in the world of American football: the Super Bowl. The rapper launched a string of inflammatory X posts, taking aim at pop star Taylor Swift and halftime performer Kendrick Lamar.
Swift, who was in the audience to support her boyfriend, Chiefs player Travis Kelce, became a target of West’s tirade.
“If it’s about the culture…why are we letting Taylor Swift be seen on TV singing a song about taking a Black man down and accusing [him] of things that can take a Black man down for life,” he posted on X.
West then turned his attention to Lamar, who headlined the halftime show, claiming, “Kendrick is being used by these white people and Jews and so am I.”
His outburst was part of a broader, self-proclaimed “social experiment” that saw him post a series of openly antisemitic statements.
In one tweet, he declared, “I am a Nazi,” and in another, “I love Hitler now what b*****s.”
Despite widespread backlash, West initially boasted about his ability to remain on the platform, writing, “I won… I tweeted pretty much everything I felt like for 12 hours and I still have my Twitter. And most importantly my billions.”
However, in an ironic turn of events, hours after thanking Elon Musk for allowing him to “vent,” West’s account was suspended.
Musk confirmed the decision, stating, “Given what he has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW. You should not be seeing that anymore.”
Earlier in the weekend, West had also sparked outrage by promoting a T-shirt emblazoned with a Nazi swastika.
