Kanye West has sparked new controversy with a series of antisemitic posts on X, openly praising Adolf Hitler and declaring himself a Nazi. The rapper, now known as Ye, made these statements in all-caps messages across the platform.

In his posts, West proclaimed "I'M GOING TO NORMALIZE TALKING ABOUT HITLER" and "HITLER WAS SOOO FRESH." He dismissed antisemitism as fabricated and refused to apologize for previous Jewish-related comments. These remarks echo his 2022 statements that led to major brand departures and social media bans.

The posts were temporarily removed before reappearing on X, raising questions about platform moderation. Platform owner Elon Musk has not addressed the situation.

The financial impact of West's previous antisemitic statements has been substantial. Adidas terminated a $2 billion contract in 2022, while other brands like Balenciaga also cut ties. The Anti-Defamation League has condemned his latest comments as "dangerous rhetoric that fuels hate and violence."

While West has previously attributed controversial behavior to bipolar disorder, he insisted these latest posts were made while "COMPLETELY SOBER." The rapper faces ongoing legal challenges related to his hate speech, with experts suggesting these new comments could lead to additional consequences.

Despite previous controversies, West has maintained relevance in the entertainment industry. However, these latest Hitler-praising statements may result in more severe and lasting repercussions for his career and public standing.
