Kanye West made a splash on social media with a rare Instagram Story post on New Year’s Eve. The unexpected photo showed him smiling widely with his wife, Bianca Censori, marking a bright start to the year. This uncommon appearance captivated fans who haven’t seen much of the artist lately.
Just days before this post, Kanye took to Instagram to share an enigmatic audio clip, leaving followers puzzled. “Come on, man. You know that shit is hosed down,” Ye said, “You know that shit mopped. Shit scrubbed.” With no explanation provided, fans were left speculating about the meaning behind these cryptic words.
However, not all of Kanye’s recent activities have been met with amusement. The launch of his new clothing line featuring symbols similar to those used by Nazi Germany has ignited a storm. T-shirts, hoodies, and jackets are selling for $20 each, but it’s the design that has turned heads for all the wrong reasons.
Social media users have quickly voiced their concerns. One user tweeted, “Nazi symbols again I’m so fucking done.” Even @yedefender, a Kanye fan account, expressed disappointment saying they might “deactivate this page or give it a new admin. I’m done. KANYE IS USING YALL TO TO REPRESENT HIS NAZI BELIEFS.”
Despite the outcry, neither Kanye nor his brand has addressed the allegations. This isn’t the first time Kanye’s brand choices have caused uproar; last year, he faced criticism for wearing a shirt with an image linked to neo-Nazi propaganda.
Kanye’s past controversial statements, including remarks about Adolf Hitler, continue to haunt him. During a 2018 TMZ interview, he allegedly expressed admiration for the Nazi leader, adding fuel to the fire of his current controversies.
Kanye’s New Year’s cheer is overshadowed by the ongoing controversy surrounding his clothing line’s contentious imagery.
