Kanye West Goes on Another Rant, Dubs It “90% Jew Proof”
Buckle up, folks—Kanye West, now rolling with the name Ye, is back at it again with his social media shenanigans, and this time he’s revving up the controversy with claims that his latest Twitter tirade was “90% Jew proof.” Late Sunday night, the rapper and fashion mogul unleashed a flurry of tweets that revisited his infamous antisemitic comments from last year, right along with a hefty dose of corporate clap back and a sprinkle of defiance against what he perceives as ‘censorship.’
In the midst of his tweets, Ye dropped a not-so-subtle jab at CBS, daring the network to take down his Super Bowl ad after catching wind of his politically incorrect banter. Talk about confidence! Reflecting on the backlash from his 2022 tweet declaring he was going “death con 3 on Jewish people”—a move that cost him major sponsorships with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga—he insisted he’s not playing the victim but rather asserting his freedom of expression against what he describes as a highly controlled industry.
Perhaps the most eyebrow-raising comment was his introduction of the term “Jew proof,” a phrase he didn’t fully flesh out, yet it radiates his sentiment of being immune to “Jewish influence” in the business world. Ye claimed that, despite the backlash, he managed to rake in a jaw-dropping $40 million from his business ventures the day after those inflammatory posts. Maybe he thinks that success in the face of backlash somehow legitimizes his rhetoric?
Moreover, he labeled the removal of his Yeezy brand from Shopify as a “major victory.” After criticizing the e-commerce platform for manipulating market data to favor certain brands, it seems like Ye is riding high on his tune of perceived injustices. Love him or loathe him, Ye shows no signs of slowing down or retracting his statements anytime soon. As the conversation around free speech and accountability in the digital age evolves, one thing is for sure: Kanye is still the maestro of controversy.
