“I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” tweeted the rapper, who changed his name and now goes by "Ye." “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.”


The tweet remained on the platform for some time before being blocked and replaced with an automated message that reads, "This tweet violated the Twitter Rules."

A Twitter spokesperson also told BuzzFeed News on Sunday, "The account in question has been locked due to a violation of Twitter’s policies."

Ye's antisemitic tweet came almost a day after he blasted Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who was raised Jewish, for taking action against his Instagram....................

More like a brain injury. Oh well. I don't know him. Not really a fan of his music either.

believe that they do (or should do), he would. I know it is akin to expecting Trump's sycophants will turn against him, but...

I'll admit it, I find their mother to be a bit too much.

A rich bitch with lots of bucks and that's about it.

No wonder she hit it off with Ye as he is now calling himself on twitter.

Giant UGH and yes, I certainly agree with you.

Sicko group I agree! again ...

. . . time and time again every day we are reminded of the near total stupidity of the masses of people.

I mean -- look at this person, whatever he calls himself today along with his wife or ex-wife or whatever she is and her family who are famous and fabulously wealthy for no reason at all. None. They do not produce music or art or literature -- and never will. They have done nothing to make life better for anyone but themselves -- and never will. The have cured no diseases, solved no social or cultural or local or global problems. Not one. And never will

And yet here we are hanging on their every word. The piece of human trash who is the subject of this article has only to fart and it's "Stop the presses!!! Ye just farted!!! Ring the bells, broadcast it far and wide!!!"

Puke.

And don't get me started on the former president.

He had a string of 3 successful albums from 2004 to 2007. He had a very popular song "Golddigger".

The only thing sadder than Kenny as an example of "relevancy due to fame and money" is his followers.
You cannot get any dumber than a fan of this idiot.
