2018: When rap star Kanye West met with President Trump on Thursday, he floated the idea of ditching Trump's Air Force One in favor of an “iPlane 1” that he said should be manufactured by Apple. West showed a proposed image of the hydrogen-powered plane to Trump and his son-in-law
2018: US rapper Kanye West has said the enslavement of African Americans over centuries may have been a "choice". "When you hear about slavery for 400 years ... for 400 years? That sounds like a choice," he said during an appearance on the entertainment site TMZ
2016: Not many people, it’s fair to say, supported Bill Cosby in 2016. Kanye, however, declared
“Bill Cosby Innocent” in a tweet (Cosby was not, in fact, innocent).
2009: A simply unforgettable controversy. During the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Kanye once more stormed the stage, this time to question Swift winning the award for Best Female Video.
2021: Kanye cited “personal reasons” for changing his name to Ye, he stated in the past in a radio interview, “I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means you. So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us.”
2007: Going ballistic backstage at the VMAs. For someone who continues to dismiss awards, Kanye always seems engaged with them and easily offended. Back in 2007, the rapper was outraged that he lost all five of the awards he was nominated for and that he hadn’t been asked to play on the main stage like Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears. His response? Throwing a fit backstage and threatening to never attend the MTV VMAs ever again. As we all know, he did not hold to that threat, although
Taylor Swift probably wished he did.
2014: When Kanye told fans at a concert in Sydney to get on their feet, he expected everyone to do it – including a person in a wheelchair who couldn’t physically comply with the rapper’s demands. Kanye wasn’t thrilled at all and said that he couldn’t sing until everyone stood up. As for the person in the wheelchair? To quote “OK, well, we gotta wait then.” That would be a long time waiting, yet the rapper made it a point to complain how “unbelievable” it is that he had to pause for so long. The crowd booed.
2020: During one of his rallies, Kanye caused a commotion by ranting about the prestigious historical figure, ******* Tubman. Tubman was an African American woman who escaped slavery, helped enslaved Black men and women travel to freedom and fought for the Union during the Civil War. While many admire her experiences, Kanye shut them down during his run as president claiming Tubamn “never actually freed the slaves, she just had them work for other white people.”
2021: If Kanye has one way of getting attention, it’s by associating himself with controversial people. Right when Marilyn Manson and DaBaby were facing respective sexual assault and anti-gay allegations against them, Kanye decided to bring them out on stage with him during the listening event for his album
Donda
2019: Kanye didn’t get off to a good start in early 2019 when he publicly defended R Kelly. Despite the widespread condemnation of the singer following the release of the documentary,
Surviving R Kelly, Ye outrageously claimed that fans should continue to listen to his music and that we should separate the art from the artist.
2020: During his appearance on Revolt TV’s Drinks Champs podcast (which has now been pulled from YouTube), Kanye made a monstrous claim that George Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose instead of police brutality. Discussing the victim who was murdered by Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin in May 2020 as well as the Candace Owens documentary
The Greatest Lie Ever Sold: George Floyd and the Rise of BLM, Kanye said, “They hit him with the fentanyl. If you look, the guy’s knee wasn’t even on his neck like that. They said he screamed for his mama; mama was his girlfriend. It’s in the documentary.”
2021: Kanye West said the #MeToo movement is "1984 mind control" on the Drinks Champs podcast.
Feel free to just google this shit. It's a continued streak of asshole behaviour from a complete, unhinged narcissist who compares himself to Jesus/God and thinks that he is the greatest person ever. Just another false profit(phet) that capitalism has created and put up onto a pedastal, who's toxic behaviour and awful personality was hidden because he sold shoes and records. Now he doesn't have the cover and has gone publically rogue, we get to see him for who he has always been. It's the same with Musk - this allure of the tech genius who is sending humanity to Mars is shown to be bullshit because his public utterings are being closely watched.
