He getting bigger, not smaller. The media is on hyperdrive to silence him. I wonder why?

Ye with Lex.

Ye speaks his mind, but gets well received pushback, even takes notes.

Amazing what civil conversation can achieve.

Everyone seems to be getting stupider.

That’s an easy one, because he made stupid and offensive comments.

Freedom of speech comes with responsibility and consequences.

Like becoming the POTUS?

Like saying dumb stuff and getting ridiculed for it. Happens to everybody.

That’s not cancel culture that’s responsibility and consequences.

I wonder what Jewish people did to Ye, who has been successful and popular in the entertainment field, that moved him to go out of his way to attack them. I also wonder how long before he comes to his senses, withdraws his remarks and apologizes, which he will almost certainly do, because he's smart enough to realize that no one (except perhaps Donald Trump) is invulnerable to sustained disapproval and ostracization.

They're certainly doing a poor job of it - there have been multiple news articles about him and his comments on basically every major news source available. If you mean his business partners are cutting ties with him, then believe it or not it's not a good look for businesses to have close ties to unhinged anti-semites.

That an obviously mentally impinged personality who by his own admission suffers from bi-polar disorder can say openly and objectively anti-Semitic things and still be taken seriously as a "free thinker" says a lot more about us, rather than it does about him.

Demonstrators on a Los Angeles overpass Sunday unfurled banners praising west.

Shouldn't "west" in the sentence above be capitalised?

And being bipolar is no excuse. There's no excuse for this hateful crap. WTH did Jews ever deserve to get 6 million of them offed in the Holocaust over a 12-year period? And even today antisemitism rages on, some of those militia thugs Trump sent to rallies to stir up unrest in 2020 had on shirts and armbands saying '6MWNNE' = 6 Million Was Not Near Enough.

And I remember how Yugoslavia self-destructed, this time it was the Muslims getting exterminated.

Talking trash and hatred stirs up violence sooner or later, every time. And Ye has been running his motormouth way too much, this Jew-bashing is totally uncool. It's uncalled for and if I ran a corporation, I wouldn't sponsor someone spouting ignorant hateful lippy crap like this. I wouldn't want to be associated with an antisemite or any kind of xenophobe. We have enough problems today without more people being so stupid.

Ye opened his Big Pac-Man Mouth, and now he will suffer the consequences. I have no use for a Jew-hater.

He is definitely a little unhinged. Wonder how this will play with his musical fan base.

Ye needs help and its obvious money is not the problem for him because he was born with out it and he will die without it so it won't be a great loss. Here's a guy who has it all but is driven by something in his mind that controls him to go outside the norm of what people think he should and should not do. I know him PERSONALLY and to be honest I saw the CHANGE with the Kanye I know after his mother passed. When he lost his mom I really think he lost his mind and soul and felt nothing mattered not even money he said. Everything he did after she passed he created in his own mind his own world, clothes, cars etc, he stopped wearing name brands and created his own, moved to Montana he lost his way. The people who sponsored Kanye made a lot of money off YE and dropping him is not going to change him, not now. I think he is close to a nervous breakdown he wants to the biggest thing there is, remember this guy ran for President, its all about his ego and its not money he was not born into it and if he died penniless which I doubt he wouldn't care less. He said to me one day when have you ever saw a brinks money truck driving behind a Hersh carrying a body to the cemetery! He said you can't take it with you!! He doesn't care!!

Record label dropped him. His weekly downloads are in the hundreds. He's done as a recording "artist".
