US musician and fashion designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, ignited a firestorm of criticism on Friday after posting a series of offensive and anti-Semitic messages on X.
In now-deleted all-caps posts, Ye declared himself “a Nazi” and expressed “love” for Adolf Hitler, while claiming that “racist stereotypes exist for a reason and they all be true.” Many of his remarks targeted the Jewish community, including a post stating, “Some of my best friends are Jewish and I don’t trust any of them.”
The rapper also pledged to buy “two Maybachs tomorrow” and claimed he would “make the Jewish person who’s selling it to me read all these tweets [sic].” He added, “And I bet you see me whipping Maybachs.”
In another post, Ye alleged that “all white people are racist” and claimed, “Jewish people actually hate white people and use black people.” Standing by his previous remarks, he wrote, “I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f*** I wanna say forever. Where’s my f****** apology for freezing my accounts.”

Ye also referenced X owner Elon Musk, writing, “Elon stole my Nazi Swag at the inauguration,” a nod to past controversies surrounding Musk where he was said to have performed a Nazi salute.
Ye has faced similar backlash in the past. In late 2022, he made anti-Semitic statements professing admiration for Hitler, leading to a ban on X and the termination of several major brand partnerships.
