Ye aka Kanye West purchased another ad to air during the Super Bowl, but its limited outreach plus the bizarre display by the rapper made some uncomfortable.
On Sunday (February 9), Super Bowl LIX took place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana complete with all of the advertisements that rivaled the game for attention. But one ad bought by Ye aka Kanye West surprised people by its bizarre presentation. The commercial features West staring up at the camera, from a dentist’s chair while wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and wraparound sunglasses. “So what’s up, guys, I spent, like all the money put a commercial on these new teeth. So once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone,” he said, flashing a set of grills. He then finished with a stammer in his voice, “Um… um… go to yeezy.com.”
The ad wasn’t aired nationwide, only in the Los Angeles area. It was a repeat of what West did last year when he bought a local advertisement for yeezy.com, but it reportedly wasn’t aired in New York or Los Angeles. The setting of the ad is a potential reference to claims by his former associate and ex-chief-of-staff Milo Yiannopoulos, who alleged that a celebrity dentist named Dr. Thomas P. Connelly had gotten West addicted to nitrous oxide to “extract millions of dollars from him.” Yiannopoulos would supply text messages between himself, Connelly, and West where the rapper would request more nitrous oxide from Connelly.
Those who visited the “No More Parties In L.A.” rapper’s site after seeing the ad reported that there was only one item for sale – a t-shirt with a swastika emblazoned on it. The disturbing content comes after West’s hours-long rant on X, formerly Twitter, that was filled with him declaring “I’m a Nazi,” along with other antisemitic comments such as calling Hitler “so fresh”. He also stated that he was “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.” The rant would see him also attack plus-size women and make other wild claims such as allegedly sleeping with Ivanka Trump. His account would be deactivated on Monday morning (February 10), though it was unclear if he took that action or if X did in response to West violating its policies which state that users cannot “directly attack other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability or serious disease.”

Kanye West recently stepped up to help Kodak Black after a viral video surfaced showing Kodak sitting in the middle of an Atlanta street, eating chicken like everything was normal. Fans have been worried about Kodak for a while, especially with his past “crash-out” moments and his unpredictable behavior. His appearance on Kai Cenat’s stream only added to the concern, as he looked completely out of it, even going viral for doing a trick shot, catching a pill in his mouth.
Kanye saw the video and was clearly concerned, so he took to Instagram to let people know he was going to do something about it. “I’m booking my flight to Atlanta right now to help Kodak,” Ye said. “I know I said f**k rappers man, but I need y’all right now. Someone has to go and do something. I know y’all always think I’m crashing out, and I’m just expressing myself, I’m cathartic. Look man, please don’t, just let me go down there and help this man out.”
Ye’s message shows that even though he’s had his own struggles, he still has the heart to reach out and try to help someone who’s clearly in need. Despite his past statements about distancing himself from the rap game, Ye is willing to help Kodak get back on track. This act of concern speaks volumes about the importance of supporting each other, especially in an industry where mental health and addiction can be overlooked. Kanye’s move is all about stepping up and making sure Kodak gets the help he deserves.

Kai Cenat made the right choice. Protecting his integrity and his bag over streaming with Kanye West.
The world’s most popular Twitch streamer (debate your cousin), is not linking up with the most problematic person in the world not named Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
Kai Cenat announced to his Twitch followers that the once-planned stream with Kanye West, aka Ye, is no longer happening. Cenat revealed that he made his decision after seeing West’s latest round of bizarre and extremely antisemitic tweets.
“I’m gonna go ahead and address the elephant in the room,” Cenat told his fans. “I seen the tweets, bro. I don’t know what’s going on.” He revealed he was just as stunned as everyone else by Kanye West’s recent online behavior. “I don’t know, bro. It’s crazy.”
Cenat’s announcement comes after he excitedly revealed on January 29 that he was planning to take a trip to Japan and hopefully get West on his stream. The Twitch streamer also bumped into the rapper at the Grammys before the whole Bianca Censori naked on the red carpet stunt.
“He’s a very good, motherf*cking dude,” Cenat said on January 29. “I think he’ll be open to the stream. “If I had to say a percentage,” Kai Cenat said. “It’s at like probably 90%. We been talking almost every day.”
Welp.
You Know Kanye West Is Going To React
Kanye West has yet to respond to Cenat’s decision, but we fully expect him to. We won’t be surprised if he calls him an “industry plant” again or something worse.
Fans have been reacting to Cenat making the right decision not to associate himself with a Black Nazi sympathizer, some are calling him a sellout, while others understand he’s got a brand to protect.

We called it! After Kanye West started off the New Year by posting pics of himself and his wife, Bianca Censori, we said that it could be an indication that Kanye was ready to make a splash on the social media scene in 2025, and boy did he ever.
Earlier today (Feb. 7) Kanye West took to X and rehashed his beef with the Jewish community by once again unapologetically going on an antisemitic rant that drew much condemnation but didn’t really shock anyone since people tend to be their worst selves both on social media and in public (thanks Trump).
According to Raw Story Ye began his MAGA morning by taking aim at the Jewish community for reasons unknown in an early morning rant that read “AINT NOBODY RAMPED UP EITHER IM CALM AS ICE THIS HOW I REALLY FEEL HOW I REALLY FELT AND HOW I WILL ALWAYS FEEL F— ALL OF YOUR F— A– UNFAIR BUSINESS DEALS AMY JEWISH PERSON THAT DOES BUSINESS WITH ME NEEDS TO KNOW I DONT LIKE OR TRUST ANY JEWISH PERSON AMD THIS IS COMPLETELY SOBER WITH NO HENNESY.”
The tweet had many pondering whether Ye was off his meds or on some other “meds,” but before that conversation could gain any traction, Ye followed up his previous statement with, “IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS.”
The tweets have since been deleted. Whether it was by Ye himself or the “good” folks over at X is anyone’s guess, but best believe millions of people read them before they magically disappeared.
But it didn’t stop there!
Continuing to rage against humanity, Kanye once again stated that slavery is a choice (Christ on crutches) and that he could care less about being canceled in today’s modern culture saying, “WHAT YALL GONE DO CANCEL MY SNEAKER DEAL CANCEL MY RECORD DEAL FREEZE MY ACCOUNTS FUCK ALL YALL NIGGAS SLAVERY IS A CHOICE IM SPEAKING MY MIND NOW I AINT EDITING SHIT AGAIN EVER.”
Notice how all his words are typed in all caps. Rather Trumpian of him. Even Trump’s boss, Elon Musk doesn’t go this route when going on his own rants.
But wair, there’s more!
After posting “F*CK DIAGEO,” Kanye once again threw another shot at the Jewish community and included white people for good measure as he stated “ALL YOU PLEEEEEASE COME AT ME THATS HOW WE SPOT THE KOONS LET THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWISH PEOPLE TELL YOU WHAT TO DO AND SAY FUCK DIAGEO AND FUCK ALL YALL NIGGAS IN ADVANCE.”
Oh, you thought he was done?! No sir, the “Black Skinhead” rapper then went on to say “Hitler was sooooo fresh” in an apparent attempt to buddy up to the Nazis because, well, who the hell knows?
He then followed that up with “CALL ME YAYDOLF YITLER AND YOUR BITCH STILL WANTS TO FUCK.”
Kanye then seemingly calmed down for a moment and analyzed not what he has said, but the responses he’s garnered in his posts writing, “Has anyone ever wanted to get it all off they chest Everything you felt Everything they told you not to say think or feel Then broke niggas in the comments turn into doctors and give their dumb twitter diagnosis.”
Kanye then took aim at the “woke” community saying he “used to be woke too” and posted a picture of his teenage self wearing a “Say no to Nazis” shirt. Apparently Kanye feels being against racism, xenophobia and Nazis is a bad thing in 2025.
Continuing to rail against the “woke” people of the world, Kanye decided to pile on the big boned women of the world saying “My favorite tweet tonight was about woke fat bitches Nobody wanna see that shit.”
We don’t know what he’s talking about cause we love our plus sized women round these parts. Just sayin.
The wild tweets come after Kanye called for Donald Trump to free P. Diddy for whatever reason. Maybe there’s a shortage on pink cocaine or something. Either way, expect more Tom foolery from Kanye West in the coming days and even the rest of the year as the man clearly has a bone to pick with everyone except Nazis.
What do y’all think about Kanye West’s latest rant? Let us know in the comments section below. And we trust those Ye tweets will disappear, but nothing ever leaves the Internets.

Ye, largely known to most as Kanye West, made a bombastic return to social media recently and the barrage continues after giving a strong salute to the imprisoned Sean “Diddy” Combs. In his most recent rant, Kanye West asked President Donald Trump to free Diddy from jail and the pair also announced a merchandise line.
Kanye West has been on an hours-long rant that mentions his rifts with Jewish people, the styling choices of rappers, and any other thoughts he chooses to express. While we have no opinion to offer on his replies on X, plenty online are shocked at some of his word choices, including those seemingly favorable of Adolf Hitler, the infamous Nazi leader. At one point, Ye refers to Hitler as being “fresh.”
Over on Instagram, Ye shared a video of him FaceTiming Christian Combs, Diddy’s son with the caption of the post reading “A SON TO HIS DAD FOR EVERY SON WHO DAD IS LOCKED UP WRITE OR WRONG I WANT YALL TO LISTEN TO DAVE CHAPELLES JOKES VERY CLOSE THIS TIME LETS SEE HOW FUNNY IT GETS WHEN FAMILIES ARE SEPARATED ESPECIALLY BLACK FAMILIES.”
It appears that Ye FKA Kanye West has done a lot of posting and deleting so the train of thought was lost but he did announce a partnership with Sean John, even sharing some of the potential merch items on his Instagram page, writing in one caption, “YEEZY SEAN JOHN COLLAB AVAILABLE @ YEEZY.COM ME AND PUFF SPLITTING THIS 50/50 LIKE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE THEY LOCKED HIM UP.”
Combs, or someone manning his Instagram account, shared the same announcement and wrote in the caption, “Thank you to my brother @Ye” along with a link to Ye’s Yeezy website where fans can collect the fashion line. We weren’t able to locate the exact comment but many online say that he also asked President Trump to release his good friend, who is serving time in connection to an explosive sexual assault matter.
Ye continued to rail against broke people, defending his wife’s Grammy Awards nude pop-out, calling himself a Nazi, and much more. Ye is also addressing his critics on X, although he’s spent more time just shouting into the void and framing his words as channeling Andrew Tate. To capture the full scope of thoughts, swing by Ye’s X page.

Ye aka Kanye West revealed that he has autism, claiming he was misdiagnosed as being bipolar during a recent interview.
In the latest episode of Justin LaBoy’s The Download podcast, Kanye West said that he has autism, a conclusion he came to with the aid of his wife, Bianca Censori. “I went to this doctor … My wife took me to do that because she said, ‘Something about your personality doesn’t feel like it’s bipolar, I’ve seen bipolar before.’ And I’ve come to find that it’s really a case of autism that I have,” he said.
West said that the diagnosis helped him get a better understanding of his behavioral outbursts, like sporting a “Make America Great Again” cap in 2018 and supporting Donald Trump, allegedly. “Autism takes you to a Rain Man thing,” West said, explaining that it was on purpose. “‘I’ma wear this Trump hat because I like Trump in general.’ And then when people tell you to not do it, you just get on that one point. And that’s my problem.”
The “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” rapper was candid about how those in his inner circle have had difficulty dealing with his periods of erratic behavior, citing his relationship with his friend and former manager Don C. “It’s been so hard on him because he loves me. It’s so difficult for them, because this is like a grown man – you can’t take control of his bank account, you can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter.” He added, “But a lot of what was sending me into the episodes — and it’s hard … [is] the constant feeling of not being in control, spun me out of control.” West also spoke about not taking his bipolar disorder medication, and working with his mental health to make music, saying of any potential episode that he does “watch for it beforehand” “It’s finding stuff that doesn’t block the creativity, obviously that’s what I bring to the world,” he said. “It’s worth the ramp-up, as long as y’all get the creativity.”
West also talked about his upcoming Bully album, which he says will be released on June 15, the same day as his daughter North’s birthday. He also revealed that he’s reconciled with producer Mike Dean, who worked with him on all his albums up to the last Vultures albums before they fell out.

Following his ridiculous Grammys red carpet stunt that saw him show up with his butt-naked wife Bianca Censori, Kanye West took to his favorite soapbox, Instagram, to clap back at claims that he and Censori were shown the door.
West or Ye has been active on his Instagram account, and while promoting some new hot ass mess he calls clothing and teasing new dated music, he addressed the issue of whether he and his mannequin of wife were told to leave the Grammys.
In a now-deleted post featuring a photo of Don Lemon, West wrote in the caption, “This the goofball that started the rumor that me and my wife got kicked out the Grammies 3 decades of innovating music and they always K—S like this.”
Lemon quickly responded, “I saw someone on your team who asked me to correct it because it had been reported everywhere. So first of all, get your s*** straight.”
Lemon also posted a video on his Instagram page reporting that West was not kicked out of the Grammys.
The Aftermath of The Stunt
Reports about the incident vary. The New York Post reported that the police removed West and Censori following the stunt for possibly violating the Grammys dress code. The Daily Mail reported that CBS was worried about backlash from advertisers and sent someone to speak with the Chicago rapper, but it denied involving law enforcement.
TMZ and Variety claim that is not the case. They claim that Ye and Censori were not told to leave, but they walked the red carpet and left.
Page Six also claims the stunt was done to recreate West’s Vultures 1 album cover with a lip reader determining Yeezy instructed his wife to “make a scene.”
The “Jesus Walks” crafter is also on the Gram boasting that he “beat the Grammys” and that his wife is the “most Googled person on the planet.”
Someone should tell him mainly because she was naked, and people on the internet are dangerously horny.
He is also currently going on a bizarre rant on X, formerly Twitter, and sharing some interesting Polaroids featuring himself and his wife. The gallery below shows his posts and more reactions.

It seems Kanye West looked to GRAMMY weekend as a big moment for his brand. Ye released a new Yeezy commercial after getting removed from the event.
As spotted on Page Six, the self-proclaimed goats of all goats had time this weekend. After showing up to the GRAMMY Awards uninvited and his wife Bianca bearing it all on the red carpet, the high profile couple was asked to leave by staff. It appears this was a very calculated move by Kanye West as he had a new commercial for his Yeezy label run on select broadcasts of the live show.

As expected, the spot aligned with the brand’s minimalistic ethos and simply showcased a range of athleisure pieces over a white backdrop. Included were t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, socks and more. Also included in the drop are select merch items for his forthcoming album BULLY. To the surprise of many all the pieces are priced at $20.00 dollars prior to shipping and taxes.

The 2025 Grammys red carpet was a playground for bold fashion statements, especially from the rappers who showed up to steal the spotlight. Kanye West, ever the controversial figure, turned heads with his unconventional look alongside his “naked” boo, Bianca Censori. Kanye, known for pushing boundaries, kept it typically understated but intentionally strange—draped in an all black outfit, while Bianca, had to match the “no rules” theme. It felt like a statement of raw minimalism, with their odd but eye-catching energy capturing everyone’s attention.
Jaden Smith, another fashion wild card, was at it again with a look that screamed high fashion. Sporting a head piece that looked like a castle. Jaden’s outfit seemed to be the most left field outfit on the red carpet. Smith was a living, breathing work of art that blurred the lines between fashion and performance.
Overall, the Grammys red carpet is basically a runway for self-expression, where celebs don’t just dress to impress—they dress to make a statement. It’s a place where boundaries are pushed and fashion is used as a form of art. The red carpet feels like a reflection of celebrities personalities —where style is personal and unique. The outfits seen on the carpet often mix bold streetwear elements with high fashion, creating a look that’s all about confidence and individuality. There’s no fear of breaking norms; in fact, the more daring, the better.
What makes the red carpet outfits so special? It’s all about not following trends—it’s about setting them. It’s a reminder that you can wear what feels right for you, express your personality through style, and stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s through oversized silhouettes, unexpected materials, or fierce accessories, the red carpet is a place where everyone can let their true selves shine.
Check out our full list rating some of our favorite artist looks at the 2025 Grammy’s:
Nick Cave has already sorted the soundtrack for his funeral, with Kanye West apparently set to accompany the somber scene.
Cave’s musical request was made via his Red Hand Files website in which he responds to letters from fans. One letter, from Helen in the U.K., reflected on Cave’s choices for his recent appearance on BBC Radio’s Desert Island Discs segment, in which listeners choose the songs to accompany them on a desert island. Cave’s eight songs included cuts from Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, T. Rex, Nina Simone, John Lee Hooker, Karen Dalton, Tim Rose, Kanye West, and The Saints.
Helen’s letter went on to ask Cave about how he deals with hypothetical questions related to loss and guilt, while another inquiry from Damian in the U.S. asked about the song he would like to be played at his funeral.

Following a lengthy rumination on his own experiences with grief, Cave closed his response by answering Damian’s question with a track from 2013’s Yeezus album: “Please, ‘I Am A God’ by Kanye West”.
Trending on Billboard
It’s not the first time that Cave had professed his love of West, with another Red Hand Files response from January 2020 seeing West described as “our greatest artist” by the Australian musician.
“Making art is a form of madness – we slip deep within our own singular vision and become lost to it,” Cave wrote at the time. “There is no musician on Earth that is as committed to their own derangement as Kanye, and in this respect, at this point in time, he is our greatest artist.”
Months after that praise, a fan named Vassilis inquired via Cave’s site about whether West’s 2021 album Donda had been “delayed because you both took the last-minute decision to include a track you have been working on together”. Cave’s response was much shorter and succinct than his typical responses: “Dear Vassilis, No. Love, Nick.”
