Ye’s back with Nazi rhetoric on X, echoing his troubling support for Hitler from that Alex Jones sit-down two years ago, when he first praised the Nazi dictator responsible for killing millions of Jews in the Holocaust.
During a late-night X posting spree between Thursday and Friday, Ye started by talking about Diddy, who’s locked up waiting for his trafficking and racketeering trial in May. But his posts quickly went off the rails, spiraling into antisemitic comments, multiple drops of the f-slur, and a random “Fuck Virgil” shot that looks like it’s aimed at the late Virgil Abloh.
“I love Hitler,” Ye posted on X. His other messages included calling himself “a Nazi” and “a racist.” He also took a shot at Elon Musk’s inauguration gesture, claiming the X boss “stole my Nazi swag.”
“Slavery is a choice,” Ye wrote again, bringing back his controversial take from that infamous 2018 TMZ moment.
In other posts, Ye swore he’d “never” take back his antisemitic comments. This comes after that sketchy Hebrew apology that popped up on his Instagram in December 2023. Back then, he wrote “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.” But folks quickly wondered if AI had helped craft that message.
Ye also posted that famous pic of his younger self rocking a “Say No to Nazis” shirt, writing “I used to be woke too.”
Knowing X’s current vibe under Musk’s watch, don’t expect any real consequences like bans or restrictions on Ye’s account. While some posts got taken down for breaking hate speech rules, the real shocking ones – like his “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi” declarations – are still up there.
Let’s be crystal clear: Hitler and the Nazi Party deserve zero praise or admiration. It’s wild that we even have to spell this out, but these past few years have shown us we can’t take anything for granted. We’ve got to keep saying these obvious truths louder than ever to fight back against all the toxic stuff flooding social media in the 2020s.
