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.

In a gallery of photos showing happy memories, Lorenzo wrote, “Irv, you will be greatly missed. I can’t believe I’m saying that! Married, divorced, great friends, and so many life lessons—everything we’ve been through, good and bad, has molded me into the woman I am today! God never wastes anything; He uses everything for His ultimate glory!”
She continued, honoring Irv’s lasting impact on the music world, “Irv the Icon, you ignited the music industry with your presence, vision, and talent. You shattered records and did it all on your own terms. You had a truly big heart. You fought long and hard, and now you’re resting.” Lorenzo expressed her pride in their children, saying, “Know that we raised three beautiful, compassionate young adults, and I’m honored that God chose us to be their parents. It brought me joy to see them take such great care of you.”
Her words are a testament to the deep bond they shared, beyond the ups and downs of life. Irv’s passing sent shockwaves through the hip-hop world, as the Murder Inc. co-founder played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of stars like Ja Rule and Ashanti. His energy and influence will be missed, but his legacy remains strong.

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.

The National Football League is removing the “End Racism” tag from its end zones for the upcoming Super Bowl.
The National Football League is moving to remove the “End Racism” phrase from its end zone at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, in time for Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Unnamed sources revealed the decision, which was confirmed by NFL spokesperson Bryan McCarthy in a statement: “Teams have used on the field this year ‘Vote,’ ‘End Racism,’ ‘Stop Hate,’ and ‘Choose Love.’ This is part of the NFL’s Inspire Change,” adding: “Choose Love is appropriate to use as our country has endured in recent weeks wildfires in southern California, the terrorist attack here in New Orleans, the plane and helicopter crash near our nation’s capital, and the plane crash in Philadelphia.”
The “End Racism” phrase was present in the end zone during the NFC Championship Game held at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The decision marks the first time since 2021 that the “End Racism” phrase will not be in one of the end zones of an NFL game. The “Inspire Change” campaign began after the murder of George Floyd by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin which led to nationwide protests against police brutality. It was also inspired by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other players’ protests by kneeling on the field. The sources also said that the move, first revealed to higher-level NFL officials, could be seen as being conciliatory towards President Donald Trump, who is reportedly slated to attend the game next Sunday (February 9) as a guest of Gayle Benson, the New Orleans Saints team owner. Trump has been long opposed to efforts of inclusion and anti-racism in the league, particularly during his first presidential term.
The NFL has signaled that it wouldn’t be following the current trend of companies removing their DEI efforts, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell elaborating further at his Super Bowl press conference on Monday (January 3). “We got into diversity efforts because we felt it was the right thing for the National Football League,” Goodell said. “And we’re going to continue those efforts, because we’ve not only convinced ourselves we’ve proven it to ourselves — it does make the NFL better.”

With the Marvel Cinematic Universe struggling to drum up any kind of interest from it’s hardcore fanbase (Captain America: Brave New World is not helping whatsoever), it seems like they just might’ve finally raised quite a few eyebrows as they’ve just released the first teaser trailer for their highly-anticipated film, The Fantastic Four.

Earlier today (Feb. 4), Marvel Studios gave fans a first look at what they can expect when the Matt Shakman directed feature premiers in theaters later this year and it’s looking like one helluva ride. Starring Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing), the trailer finds the heroic foursome already well established heroes in their reality with a fanbase before facing off with the devouerer of worlds, Galactus (Ralph Ineson).
Now that Galactus has stumbled upon earth with an insatiable appetite, it’ll be on our heroes to try and stop big G from consuming earth and saving the day, but will they?
With rumors running around that The Fantastic Four will tie directly into Avengers: Doomsday and will ultimately lead to them traveling to the main Marvel timeline, it’ll be interesting to see how things play out and whether or not they can actually stop Galactus from destroying their world or if they have to save themselves by escaping his wraith.
There’s even word that this is the reality in which Doctor Doom resides and will be making his cinematic debut.
Either way, Marvel’s got our money for this one already. Captain America: Brave New World? Probably not. Just sayin.’
Check out the trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps below and let us know if you’ll be checking it out when it hits theaters on July 25 in the comments section.

Journalist Don Lemon is clapping back at being called a “koon” by Kanye West. Ye blamed Lemon for a rumor that he and his wife, Bianca Censori, were kicked out of the 2025 Grammys.
On Monday, Ye took to Instagram, posting a photo of Lemon alongside a message that read, “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 KOONS like this.”

Despite Ye’s claim, Don posted a response video saying that he not only did he not start the rumor, but he corrected it (by request of someone on Ye’s team).
The story gained traction after the X account Pop Base posted that Entertainment Tonight reported Ye and Bianca were “escorted out of the Grammys after showing up uninvited.” The post even included a screenshot that appeared to be from ET’s Instagram page, but it has since been deleted.
However, sources close to the Recording Academy told TMZ that Ye was an invited guest—he was nominated for Best Rap Song—and was never removed from the event. Though some speculated that her revealing look (a sheer top that left little to the imagination) might have been to blame, the couple reportedly left on their own terms after walking the red carpet.

Ye’s presence at the Grammys was a surprise, as he hadn’t attended since 2015. Given his past criticisms of the Recording Academy, some fans found it shocking that he showed up at all.

LiAngelo Ball’s beef with Cam’ron is one of the more unexpected but entertaining hip-hop storylines. It all started last year when LiAngelo, who had been trying to carve out his own lane in rap, made waves by claiming that Cam’ron wasn’t even a top-10 rapper. His bold statement was that, just like Cam never reached the top of the NBA, Cam didn’t reach the top of the rap game either. The shot didn’t go unnoticed, with Cam’ron firing back on his It Is What It Is Podcast, calling out LiAngelo and making light of his career aspirations.
Fast forward to today, and Gelo—who goes by G3 in the rap world—has had a breakout moment with his track ‘Tweaker’, a hit that has garnered attention and placed him in the spotlight. Recently, in an interview, G3 reflected on his past beef with Cam and doubled down on his belief that he’s a better rapper than the Dipset legend. With his recent success and a new deal with Def Jam Records, G3 feels his talent is finally being recognized, and he’s not backing down from his earlier statement.
It’s safe to say that the Ball family’s presence in sports and entertainment is undeniable, and G3 is out to prove that his skills as a rapper are just as strong as his athletic roots. As he continues his press runs, the world is now watching to see how his music career evolves and if he can truly outshine the established rap veterans he once clashed with.
