KANYE WEST COMPARES HIMSELF TO EMMETT TILL ... 'Lynching' Rant Aimed at Ari

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: TMZ.com

Kanye West is on a new tear -- suggesting what happened to Emmett Till is what's happening to him as he falls from grace ... this while trying to get Ari Emanuel's attention.

New posts have been popping up on Ye's IG page of late -- ever since he was reinstated -- but a string of troubling thoughts are cropping up Sunday ... including the notion that he's going through a modern-day "lynching," presumably at the hands of the ex-WME chief.

Is there no end to his malignant narcissism?

5. Ye suspended from Instagram again after post about 'Jewish business people'
Mon Oct 31, 2022, 08:20 PM
Oct 2022

Instagram has suspended the rapper and fashion designer formerly known as Kanye West from its platform again due to another post targeting the Jewish community.

NBC News reported on Monday that the troubled musician, who legally changed his name to “Ye” last year, posted his Instagram suspension notification to Parler, a social media platform popular among conservatives that he announced plans to acquire earlier this month.

Ye had tried to post to Instagram a text message exchange with Russell Simmons, the co-founder of hip-hop record label Def Jam Recordings, where Simmons encouraged him to “leave this fight and strategize” and “rebuild your biz.”

In response, Ye texted Simmons a disparaging remark about “Jewish businesspeople.”

Musk will probably let him on Twitter.

and I know from my own extended family that the megalomania and attendant paranoia are almost as bad as a narcissist in narcissistic collapse. What I don't see is the psychopathology that goes along with malignant narcissism.

One hopes he'll get sick of making such an arse of himself and get on the appropriate meds. Those would turn him into a reasonable human being if he is bipolar.

There's no fix for narcissism. They're just jerks.

when he was just a jackass and not a narcissistic hater of everyone but himself. Kanye showed us all what a fucking dick he truly is and has been when he went on stage and grabbed the Grammy Award from Taylor Swift. If that didn't prove what a crazy, asshole narcissist he is, than I don't know what does. He showed us his true, ugly self. Fuck him and anyone who supports his crazy ass shit and still buys his crappy "music".

He needs to be on medication. If you've ever had to deal with someone in the manic phase, you'd know their behavior is beyond their or anyone else's control. I remember my husband's manic breaks.

The forum hosts’ consensus is that this doesn’t meet the criteria of importance necessary to meet LBN’s SOP. Ok to repost in General Discussion.
