Kanye West, who has recently adopted the name Ye, is once again causing a stir in the media. Video footage of a live-streamed speech that took place on Friday has been released on TMZ’s website, and it’s sparking controversy.
According to TMZ, Kanye West appeared to be in the midst of a serious mental health episode during his furious rant. He attacked his ex-business partners, Donald Trump, and made derogatory remarks about Jewish people. The footage shows Kanye surrounded by a group of people in Las Vegas, where he went on a roughly 10-minute tirade, drawing a direct line from Jesus to himself as he screamed, “Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye! Sponsor that!!!” He also made antisemitic comments, claiming that Zionist Jews own all the banks, hospitals, and private schools in Los Angeles.
The live-streamed speech also captured Kanye’s strong words against fashion brands Balenciaga, Gap, and Louis Vuitton. He stated that he wouldn’t support Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election for president if Trump didn’t free Larry Hoover from prison. Additionally, Kanye made concerning statements about his oldest daughter, North West, which left onlookers worried.
During the speech, Kanye yelled about his daughter, saying, “My daughter ripped up the mother f**king couches in the house to be able to be with me right now.” This raised concerns about North’s well-being. North was also present with Kanye at a listening event for his new album “Vultures,” where he was seen rapping alongside Ty Dolla $ign. Some attendees found Kanye’s behavior disturbing, with one woman confronting him and telling him that he was not “God.”
In response to the woman’s challenge, Kanye groused about not having support and threatened to have her removed from the room. His behavior has once again left people questioning his mental state and what the future may hold for him. With 2023 being so eventful for Kanye, many are left wondering what 2024 will bring.
