Kanye West is currently facing major backlash for his erratic behavior, which is damaging his extensive legacy through his use of the social media platform X (previously known as Twitter).
It all kicked off at the Grammys red carpet last week when he insisted that his wife, Bianca Censori, remove her black coat to expose her transparent dress for the media.
This incident seemed to be her sole aim because, following the photo opportunity with the Australian model, they left the award ceremony for a private event. The whole scenario felt surreal, but in the end, she achieved her objective: she became the talk of the event.
Kanye even claimed that Bianca received more searches on Google than anything related to the Grammy Awards.
And there’s more
Kanye’s antics didn’t stop there; he took to his X account to share a series of alarming statements. He has made claims ranging from identifying as a Nazi to making remarks about Jews, calling for Diddy’s release, insulting a former ally Virgil, selling Nazi-inspired clothing on his website, criticizing overweight women, and now he has resorted to sharing explicit content.
This chaotic week has raised eyebrows. In a recent appearance on The Download podcast, he stated that he does not suffer from bipolar disorder but rather has autism, leaving many to question his claims.
Elon Musk takes action
“Elon unfollowed me, so I don’t know how much longer I’ll be on Twitter/X. If I get deleted, please visit”, he wrote on his X account while linking to his merchandise site.
In addition to the X CEO, both Travis Scott and Tyler, the Creator have also unfollowed him. Slowly but surely, Kanye West is gravely compromising his legacy with his inappropriate remarks, and it appears that this behavior will continue unless someone intervenes.
It seems that only Elon Musk has the capability to stop this, and his decision to unfollow Kanye feels like a clear signal, prompting an immediate and strong response from Ye.
