Ye—the artist formerly known as Kanye West, or whatever (I can’t believe we’re really playing this game)—has sparked a full-blown social media firestorm with the release of his latest song, “Heil Hitler.” Yes, that’s actually the title.
The track features Ye airing a series of grievances from the past couple of years, including claims that his children were taken from him—even though he and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, share joint physical and legal custody—along with JP Morgan ending their relationship with the rapper.
Now, because of everything he’s been through, including his infamous X musings, Ye says he’s embraced becoming a villain, and declares himself a Nazi before chanting “N***a Heil Hitler.”
Let’s not beat around the bush. I understand the point Ye is trying to make here, but in true Ye fashion, it feels like he’s pissing people off…
