Kanye West Defends Diddy During Antisemitic Twitter Rant

Kanye West and Bianca Censori kept a low profile in the weeks and months leading up to the Grammy Awards. The couple left the United States and appeared to take up residence in Japan in the months before the award ceremony. Rumors even swirled that West left the United States to avoid being connected to the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs scandal. Apparently, those rumors didn’t carry much weight. Kanye West, who went on an antisemitic tirade on Twitter last night, also spent some time defending Diddy and announcing a collaboration with the disgraced media mogul. He absolutely isn’t distancing himself from him.

Kanye West’s social media return has been troubling

Kanye West has spent the last few years deleting and reactivating his social media footprint. While no one ever knows when he’ll return, by now, it’s clear his returns to platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) eventually lead to chaos and hate-filled rants. His most recent return is no different.

Following his Grammy Awards antics, Kanye West took to X to share a series of disturbing and troubling thoughts. He went on an antisemitic rant, which included a declaration that he’s a “Nazi.” West also said he doesn’t “trust” any Jewish person, including those that he counts as some of his “best friends.”

This is not the first time West has spewed racist and antisemitic insults on social media. In 2022, West made a series of disturbing remarks during an appearance on Fox News. The backlash was quick, but the musician doubled down, posting antisemitic comments on social media. Adidas cut ties with West following the incident.

The music producer has officially commented on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

West didn’t just take to X to hurl antisemitic insults. He also used his time on the app to defend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and claim he’ll be sending money his way. West, apparently, believes Diddy should be freed from jail. He claimed he and Diddy collaborated on t-shirts before his arrest. He later stated that he’d send Diddy’s “half” of the money to his son, Justin. West has since deleted his tweets related to Diddy.

As most people know, Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on a host of charges, including sex trafficking. He has been sued by dozens of women and men who claim the once-powerful music mogul victimized them. Diddy is currently awaiting trial. While he’s pled not guilty and has denied any wrongdoing, most celebrities who were once acquainted with him have attempted to put distance between themselves and the rapper. West, who hasn’t been mentioned much in connection to Diddy and his crimes, appears to be doing the opposite.
