Kanye West's account on X goes dark after hate-filled rant

A week ago, Tokyo Weekender reported that Kanye West was set to lose a $20 million Tokyo Dome deal because investors are reportedly “extremely upset” by his actions prior to the Grammys.

A source in Tokyo commented, “It is highly likely that they will pull the funding for the shows. He has greatly misjudged the tolerance of the Japanese people towards these activities. He’s just not welcome anymore. This will be a big blow for him because he has been living in Japan for around a year now, almost full-time, and I guess he did not see this coming.”

OK producer, subpar rapper, terrible lyricist, appalling human being.

Insane in the membrane

I also heard that he had been living in a Tokyo hotel for a year. I wonder his visa arrangement is?

He lost his mind years ago. You know its bad if he makes Kim Kardashian seem like she's the normal one

Fascinating study in trajectories among the biggest hip-hop / rap artists.

"Ye" goes from being feted as a musical savant to....this.

Snoop sells out to MAGA.

And Kendrick's stock has probably never been higher.

Conclusion: hitching your wagon to people like Musk and Trump tends to be bad for your career.

The guy's a clown, virulently anti-Semitic like his co-hort Musk, and should be deemed totally irrelevant by anyone with a working brain. Just another loathsome super-rich individual, of which we seem to have an endless supply.

he was banned from X for nearly eight months

Huh? Banned? No free speech on X?

Well well.

Pathetic loser..

Ye ye yeeeeeeeee!!..

LOOOOOL

Kanye West's account on X has been deactivated

I thought Musk bought Twitter to protect free speech!

He tends to be selective.

Why is thinking for himself selling out? Do YOU own him?

Afaik it wasn't the hateful content that got him into trouble. The owner of the app obviously has no problem with that.

@I've Seen Footage

DG reference in the wild! Agree with almost everything about Ye's work, recently even the production has been subpar, although I've been avoiding new work for the last couple of years anyway.

Cut the guy a slack depression is a real disease. Though, his rants are overboard and should not be encouraged.

Oh, because he’s black Dems maintain he is not allowed to think for himself. Remember “if you don’t vote for me you aint black!” ?

someone yesterday was claiming the 20% of Black voters who voted for Trump, doesn’t mean they are MAGA.

But Snoop is? Right on!!

16%.

DG reference in the wild!

And very relevant for this article, since Ye has been trying (and failing) to emulate them for a few years now.

This guy is a despicable human and desperate for attention.

He is also apparently too dumb to realise that the actual Nazis - whom he has repeatedly praised - would have viewed him as a very inferior person from a very inferior race.

Huh? Banned? No free speech on X?

Well well.

Get real! Free speech doesn't mean you can yell fire in a croweded room, even freedom of speech has it's limits, the difference is, in the general rule of conversation as a matter of discourse, you should be allowed to say whatever you want provided it is not antagonistic with purposeful and vitriolic demeaning threats. We don't know if X deactivated Ye's account or if he did it himself. I feel bad for the guy, obviously he is bipolar and that is nothing to laught about, people can criticize the guy all day, but the guy has a serious mental issue and if you don't understand that....

It is easy to judge people on the outside who know nothing about dealing with these serious kinds of problems.

Oh boy, have you changed your tune!

I thought Musk's X was supposed to be moderator free and people could write whatever they wanted.

WOW I feel sorry for Japan, he said he lives in Japan where he thinks he fits in! He said he can be himself and the people don't bother him. The guys should be committed, he is totally a misfit to society!

even freedom of speech has it's limits,

Wow!! I didn’t know MAGA were actually such leftists!

Hmmmm…now who can we think of that has done something like this…? Any guesses?

Can’t make this stuff up, y’all.

Japan needs to boot Ye

Wow!! I didn’t know MAGA were actually such leftists! 

We aren't anything close to that, thank the lord.

Hmmmm…now who can we think of that has done something like this…? Any guesses?

I can think of a dozen or two....three...

Can’t make this stuff up, y’all.

No, you cannot

This man paraded his stark naked wife at the Grammys like she was a personal object and recently celebrated the fact that his son bullied someone at school. He needs to be cancelled already because he's a waste of space and a pathetic excuse for a human being.

You’re a real piece of work Bass. That argument has been used against you numerous times whenever you claimed to be a ‘free speech absolutist’.

Done a complete 180 again. Well, it took you long enough. How long will it last?

Certainly sounds like what the left has been saying this whole time! Congrats!!

Don’t worry, logic and consistency aren’t qualities that MAGA have. Doesn’t make sense trying to find logic where there is none. All that matters is falling in line with the God-king’s talking points.

Anyways, back to the article. Kanye should honestly just keep quiet at this point and disappear from the spotlight completely.

I disagree, I think he should be allowed to speak, but he should be warned about saying anything overly racial. if he does, ban him.

Why did you support his anti-Semitic comments? Right to free speech, etc.

Don’t worry, logic and consistency aren’t qualities that MAGA have.

Wrong.

Doesn’t make sense trying to find logic where there is none. All that matters is falling in line with the God-king’s talking points.

What does that have to do with Ye?

Neither you or I have control over that, what he said was wrong and out of line, but it is protected by the 1st amendment.
