Kanye West (Ye) has once again sparked a heated debate online after posting a long message on X (formerly Twitter) this Tuesday, talking about his claims of being ostracized by some Jewish influencers.
In a series of his messages, Kanye recalled the event of two years ago when he said “Deathcon 3 on the Jews,” a statement that caused him to be banned from social media and lose major commercial contracts.
However, he now claims that despite pushing every “idea that can be deleted,” no one stopped him, threatened him, or forced him to change his position.
“I said all these politically incorrect things, and no one destroyed me. And the next day, I made $40 million from my different businesses,” he wrote.
Kanye also explained that he lost his Yeezy designer, Simon, and his stylist Malcolm, because of his position. However, he hopes that one day they will understand why he did what he did.
In his message, Kanye also talked about his Yeezy company’s website being removed from Shopify, but instead of seeing it as a loss, he called it victory.
“I always hated Shopify. I knew they would do something stupid like this. They control your market and collect all of your data, which makes them valuable while robbing you,” he wrote, citing Shopify director Harley Finkelstein.
He also spoke about his idea for a swastika T-shirt, saying that he was fascinated by how the symbol has had different meanings in different cultures, despite being strongly associated with Nazi Germany.
In his message, Kanye also confirmed that he will participate in his upcoming album The Game.
