Ye (formerly Kanye West) is feeling the love, even after his controversial X spree earlier this month.
The Chicago rapper shared a screenshot of an X post highlighting Tyler, The Creator supposedly liking a picture of A$AP Rocky on his Instagram page, and added a caption saying that the West Coast rapper is North West’s “second favourite artist.”
“My daughter’s second favourite artist still loves me,” he wrote. “As rappers We all like one big family. And I’m that n—a that still shows out even when there’s white people around.”
Ye found himself in hot water once again when he decided to go on an X rant praising Hitler and labelling himself a Nazi, among other things, which then led to him deleting his X account altogether, getting his merch website taken down by Shopify for selling a swastika T-shirt, and his recent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign feeling the need to put out a statement saying he’s not down with hate speech.
However, with his X account reactivated, Ye walked back his rants on Wednesday (Feb. 19), writing, “After further reflection, I’ve realized that I’m not a Nazi.”
He also thanked Adam Sandler who performed a song during Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary special and said, “50 years of finding out your favourite musician is antisemitic.”
And while the comedian didn’t mention anyone by name, Ye assumed the dig was about him and thanked Sandler for the shout-out. “Adam Sandler Thank you for the love,” he tweeted.
