This is hardly the first time the "Stronger" rapper has made a controversial statement. Recently, he praised Adolf Hitler and called himself a Nazi.
“ANY JEWISH PERSON THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ME NEEDS TO KNOW I DONT LIKE OR TRUST ANY JEWISH PERSON AMD THIS IS COMPLETELY SOBER WITH NO HENNESY,” he wrote in all caps, adding, “IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS.”

Kanye West previously praised Adolf Hitler on X.
He added: “I don’t even know what the f--- anti Semitic means. It’s just some bull---- Jewish people made up to protect their bull----."
Another said: “I love when Jewish people come to me and say they can’t work with me anymore its my fav.”

Kanye West's X account was previously suspended.
In December 2022, his account was suspended after he made similar comment and praised Hitler. At the time, Elon Musk, the owner of X, suspended him for "incitement of violence" after he posted an image that appeared to a show a swastika inside a Star of David.
His account was later reinstated.
