Kanye West, a figure more well known for his increasingly controversial statements rather than his music nowadays, has gone on a pro-Nazi, anti-semitic, and misogynistic rant on X (formerly Twitter) and claims that X owner Elon Musk “stole [his] Nazi swag”.
“Elon stole my Nazi swag at the inauguration,” West tweeted, in reference for Musk’s appearance at Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony where he controversially made an arm gesture akin to that of a Nazi salute.
West went further on his pro-Hitler, anti-semitic ranting in an abundant set of now-deleted tweets, stating that Adolf Hitler was “sooooo fresh”.
He earlier stated that “Some of my best friends are Jewish and I don’t trust any of them,” as well as “I’m a Nazi.”

“I don’t even know what the fuck anti Semitic means. It’s just some bullshit Jewish people made up to protect their bullshit.
He also posted: “Any Jewish person that does business with me needs to know that I don’t like or trust any Jewish person.”
West has come under fire for his pro-Hitler and anti-semitic comments in the past, even making far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones stunned by the rapper’s words in a 2022 appearance on Jones’ show InfoWars.

Aside from anti-semitism and pro-Hitler tweets, West also shared his admiration for disgraced music mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combes.
“Puff, we love you.
“I stood up for Puff and I’m still winning 20 Grammies [sic] next year and doing the Super Bowl.”
West also spoke about the controversy following he and his wife, Bianca Censori, causing a stir at the 2025 Grammys due to the latter’s nude stunt on the red carpet, stating that he has “dominion” over Censori.
“I have dominion over my wife,” West wrote in a now-deleted tweet.
“This ain’t no woke ass feminist shit.
“She’s with a billionaire, why would she listen to any of you dumbass broke bitches?”
West and Censori’s red carpet stunt has caused the rapper to be dropped from a $20M gig in Tokyo, as well as West’s ex-wife, reality star Kim Kardashian, to allegedly be “disgusted” with his actions.
