Ye makes offensive comments against Jewish community, says he has 'dominion' over his wife in tirade on X

Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appeared to write a barrage of posts Friday morning on X, making offensive comments about the Jewish community and saying he has “dominion” over his wife.

A slew of posts were made on the 47-year-old artist's account — many of them derogatory and self-boasting — started around 4 a.m. PT (7 a.m. ET). NBC News attempted to reach out to Ye's representatives for comment on the posts.

Many of Ye's posts centered on the Jewish community, the most severe of which said, "I love Hitler" and "I'm a Nazi."

In an early post, he wrote, “I’m never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f--- I wanna say forever. Where’s my f------ apology for freezing my accounts.”

You know, all the stuff Brittany Spears had done to her when she was allegedly mentally ill?

I don't buy the mentally ill excuse when there is zero sign that anyone around him seems concerned.

Somebody said somebody fell out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I hadn’t heard that before.

In the meantime, negate his narcissist ass.

At Grammys. She had a blank stare. I hope he's not picking her clothing to humiliate her

Her outfit wis 100% see-through so there was no purpose in her even having it on.

I think we are way past humiliation.

People with mental illness don't do sick shit like that, so maybe we should all stop pretending that he's mentally ill. He a narcissist and overall sick fuck.

He takes her to restaurants and other places wearing see-through clothing. She is essentially naked.

This is abuse.

He still has a LARGE following, so when he says shit like this, it gives license to others to do the same.

So, in some sense, I also care, but not because I am a follower, but because it is better to know than not.

syndrome. People who can have anything they want start to want some weird shit.
Wanting to be dominate over a woman in public is just weird.

...he'll find out he has more debt than assets and no way to make a significant amount more to cover it. He will still have his die hard followers, but they will not be able to pony up. Have to think his wife is taking the humiliation because of two things. One, she has mental problems of her own or two, she is quietly siphoning off parts of his fortune with his blessing. Or maybe both.

Michael Jackson ran into this problem, one difference however...most people still liked Michael Jackson.
