In a series of vile posts to X, the 24-time Grammy winner declared his admiration for Adolf Hitler, admitted that he dislikes Jewish people, bragged about controlling his wife Bianca Censori and pleaded with U.S. President Donald Trump to âfreeâ disgraced music mogul Sean âDiddyâ Combs.
West, who lost high-profile business partnership with Adidas, Balenciaga and the Gap after making antisemitic remarks in the past, posted in all caps, âAny Jewish person that does business with me needs to know I donât like or trust any Jewish person ⌠Some of my best friends are Jewish and I donât trust any of them.â
In other messages posted Friday, West stated âI love Hitlerâ and proudly declared âIâm a Nazi.â
âIâm never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the fâ I wanna say forever,â he continued. âSuck my dâ howâs that for an apology.â

West addressed Elon Muskâs one-armed salute at Trumpâs inauguration, writing that the Tesla CEO stole his âNazi swag.â
His latest diatribe comes after a 2022 appearance with Infowars host Alex Jones in which West said he could see âgood things about Hitler.â
âEvery human being has something of value that theyâve brought to the table â especially Hitler,â he said. âI love everyone. Jewish people are not going to tell me you can love us, and you can love what weâre doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what weâre pushing with the pornography. But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you canât say out loud that this person ever did anything good, and Iâm done with that. Iâm done with the classifications.â

West, who shares four children with Kim Kardashian, also spoke out about his wifeâs skin-baring outfit at this past Sundayâs Grammy Awards. As the two walked the red carpet, the architectural designer and model dropped her floor-length fur coat to reveal she was wearing nothing more than a see-through nude mini dress.
âPeople say the red carpet look was her decision,â West wrote. âYes I donât make her do nothing she doesnât want to but she definitely wouldnât have been able to without my approval.âÂ
âI have dominion over my wife,â the All of the Lights hitmaker said, adding that their relationship isnât âno woke as(s) feminist sâ. Sheâs with a billionaire why would she listen to any of you dumb ass broke bitches ⌠you stupid woke ass pawns.â

In a statement to Variety, Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, called Westâs rant âa flagrant and unequivocal display of hate.â
âLetâs call Yeâs hate-filled public rant for what it really is: a sad attempt for attention that uses Jews as a scapegoat,â Greenblatt shared.
Elsewhere, West also pleaded with President Trump to pardon Combs, who is facing multiple sex trafficking and abuse charges, before he goes to trial later this spring.
âFREE PUFF,â wrote West on X. In another post, West added, â@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.â
