Rapper Kanye West has once again praised the Nazis and Adolf Hitler, returning to X after months of absence with inflammatory posts reading, "I love Hitler" and "I am a Nazi."
His return to the platform follows a week of controversy, sparked by his wife Bianca Censori’s provocative appearance at the Grammys and his claim that he had been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder and is actually autistic.
West, who has a long history of antisemitic remarks, has repeatedly courted controversy with his rhetoric. Last year, his wife reportedly boycotted the launch of his new album over his antisemitic statements.

At a Chicago event promoting the album, West declared, "I'm still crazy, bipolar, antisemite. And I'm still the king," prompting the venue to shut down the event.

Despite his antisemitic tirades on social media, West appeared to contradict himself during a performance in Dubai in December 2023, where he was filmed singing, "How can I be antisemitic? I just f*ed a Jewish b**." Following the incident, Censori allegedly pressured him to issue an apology.
In a rare move, West posted an apology in Hebrew, writing: "It was not my intention to offend or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused." He further claimed a commitment to "learning from the experience" and promised to "show more sensitivity and understanding in the future." However, his latest posts suggest no change in stance, as he continues to use his platform to promote antisemitic rhetoric.
