Kanye West’s February 2025 Twitter/X Rants: A Breakdown of Antisemitism, Diddy Support, and Backlash

Feb 08, 2025

Kanye’s Anti-Semitic Tweets and Praise for Hitler


On February 7–8, 2025, Ye posted dozens of tweets targeting Jewish communities, doubling down on past anti semitic rhetoric. Key statements included:

  • “I’m a Nazi” and “I LOVE HITLER. NOW WHAT B****ES.”
  • “Hitler was sooooo fresh” and “I don’t like or trust any Jewish person.”
  • “Antisemitism is just some bullst Jewish people made up.”**


Ye also shared a photo of himself wearing a “Say No to Nazis” shirt from his youth, captioned: “I used to be woke too.” These posts were later deleted, but not before sparking outrage from advocacy groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC).

Reactions:

  • The ADL condemned the tweets as “another egregious display of antisemitism” and warned of their dangerous influence (ADL Statement).
  • The AJC accused Ye of “spewing anti-Jewish hatred” and endangering Jewish communities (AJC Response).

Support for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Amid his anti semitic tirade, Ye repeatedly demanded the release of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently jailed on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Key tweets included:

  • “FREE PUFF” and “@realDonaldTrump PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.”
  • Claims that prosecutors are “trying to make an example out of Puff” due to racial bias.

Ye also launched a Yeezy x Sean John collaboration, selling T-shirts on his website and pledging to split profits 50/50 with Combs. However, he later claimed Diddy couldn’t receive funds while incarcerated, vowing to send the money to an unspecified “Justin” (Forbes Report).


Bianca Censori’s Grammys Appearance and ‘Dominion’ Claims

Ye addressed the backlash over his wife Bianca Censori’s nude Grammys 2025 red carpet appearance, writing:

  • “I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE… SHE DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.”
  • Insiders claimed Censori was pressured into the stunt, with one source telling the New York Post: “She wanted to back out but Ye wouldn’t let her” (NY Post Article).


Collaboration with Sean John and Business Implications

Ye’s partnership with Diddy’s Sean John brand raised eyebrows, given Combs’ legal troubles. The$20 T-shirts feature the Sean John logo, but critics argue the move exploits Combs’ incarceration for publicity. This follows Ye’s loss of billion-dollar partnerships (Adidas, Balenciaga) in 2022–2023 over antisemitism.


Public and Celebrity Reactions

  • Charlamagne Tha God blamed Kendrick Lamar’s success for Ye’s meltdowns, calling his ego “killing him” (MSN Report).
  • Social media users mocked the Yeezy x Sean John collab, with one tweeting: “This the wildest crossover episode I never asked for” (MEAWW Coverage).


Historical Context: Ye’s Pattern of Antisemitism

Ye’s latest rants echo past incidents:

  • 2022: Lost Adidas deal after declaring “death con 3 on Jewish people.”
  • 2023: Praised Hitler on Alex Jones’ Infowars, calling him “an innovator.”
  • December 2023: Issued a Hebrew apology on Instagram, later retracted.


Conclusion: The Fallout and What’s Next


As of February 2025, Ye’s net worth remains at $400 million* (per Forbes), far below his peak billionaire status. His tweets have further isolated him from brands and allies, while fueling debates over free speech vs. hate speech. With Diddy’s trial set for May 2025 and Ye’s escalating behavior, the rapper’s influence—and controversies—show no signs of slowing.
