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 on the social media platform.

Key statements from West's posts include "I'M GOING TO NORMALIZE TALKING ABOUT HITLER" and "HITLER WAS SOOO FRESH." He also dismissed antisemitism as fabricated and refused to apologize for previous Jewish-related comments. These posts briefly disappeared before reappearing on the platform.

The incident echoes his 2022 controversy, which resulted in major financial losses, including a $2 billion Adidas contract termination. Other brands like Balenciaga also severed ties with the rapper.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) condemned West's remarks as "dangerous rhetoric that fuels hate and violence." Jewish advocacy groups, political leaders, and celebrities have distanced themselves from the rapper.

While West has previously attributed controversial behavior to bipolar disorder, he insisted these latest statements were made while "COMPLETELY SOBER." The incident may have serious legal implications, adding to his existing lawsuits related to hate speech.

Despite previous controversies, West has maintained relevance in entertainment. However, these latest Hitler-praising comments may lead to more severe, lasting consequences for his career and public standing.
