In a series of provocative posts on X, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has once again stirred controversy with his unfiltered comments.
From making inappropriate comments about former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to expressing unwavering support for Donald Trump, West has reaffirmed his reputation for courting controversy and defying expectations.
In a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), West made shocking remarks about Kamala Harris, claiming he had a sexual interest in her but retracting his statement after her political losses. “I used to want to f*ck Kamala until she lost. I don’t f*ck losers anymore,” he wrote. The post was later removed, with West jokingly attributing the deletion to pressure from Democrats, though he quickly dismissed the idea, stating, “Dey don’t control black people no more. Trump 4 life.” Shortly after, he attempted to backtrack, posting, “Kamala seems like a very nice human. I just wanna say sorry to her kids.”
West also took the opportunity to praise former President Donald Trump, declaring, “Trump’s back in office. Ye’s back a billionaire. The world might just be ok.”
Trump has previously associated himself with West, even inviting the star to the White House in 2018 but in more recent years has made efforts to distance himself from the musician.

He later said, in reference to the infamous red MAGA hat: “I risked my life to wear a red hat then he turned it black.”
This statement followed his recent claim that he has regained billionaire status. West’s posts grew increasingly bold as he flaunted his wealth and freedom, writing, “Damn. Just warming up. I’m rich. I can say whatever the fuck I want. I do this for the broke me. Shout out to broke me this one’s for you.”
Among a slew of posts from the rapper around the same time, was one which read: “Hey kids, Twitter is a great way to express yourself and crash three companies at once.”
Adding to his string of bold statements, Ye hinted at his ongoing feud with Taylor Swift, revealing that she is the only person he follows on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Ye is facing legal trouble as model Jenifer An, a former contestant on America’s Next Top Model, has filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault during a 2010 music video shoot. The lawsuit alleges that the incident took place at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City, where West reportedly singled her out among a group of models in a manner that made her feel uncomfortable, according to Page Six.
Despite the backlash, Ye remains unapologetic, asserting, “I’m rich. I can say whatever the f*** I want.”
Meanwhile, West is nominated for Best Rap Song at this year’s Grammys for his song “Carnival”. The awards will take place on Sunday 2 February. Follow all the news about the 2025 Grammy Awards here.
