Kanye West is shaking things up again, sparking debates across the globe. His latest album strategy involves a daring choice: featuring a notorious white supremacist, Nick Fuentes, to use the racial slur, the N-word.
In a recent live stream, the rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, revealed his controversial plan to feature Nick Fuentes in his new album. Ye expressed enthusiasm, stating, “We gotta get Nick Fuentes on the album just dropping the N bomb [like] ‘Wassup y’all n—ers?”,” clearly showing no hesitation in stirring the pot.
This bold statement was met with agreement from those working with him, as they promised to bring this vision to life. This eyebrow-raising decision is just one of many in Ye’s recent actions that have raised eyebrows and attracted both criticism and intrigue.
Reports have surfaced of auditions being held in Los Angeles, seeking “African American Males” for what is dubbed the “Hooligan Choir.” Notably, these auditions take place in a warehouse emblazoned with Nazi symbols, creating concern among locals due to its ominous decor and proximity to a school.
The noise levels from West’s activities have not gone unnoticed, with neighbors complaining about the songs “Black Skinhead” and “Carnival” being played repeatedly. Local authorities have confirmed receiving multiple complaints about the disturbance over the past two months, coupled with reports of Nazi symbols being prominently displayed on the building.
Kanye has yet to address these reports or the ongoing police investigation directly. His actions continue to align with his apparent admiration for controversial and far-right imagery, a stance he has boldly defended across various social media platforms.
Ye recently took to social media, defending his controversial positions with statements that have confounded many. In one post, he drew baffling comparisons, asking why he couldn’t be a Nazi who loves Jews, while in another post, he expressed his love for the swastika and its supposed ability to repel those seeking to profit from him.
Further fueling the fire, Kanye has floated the idea of wearing a swastika T-shirt for a performance at the Super Bowl. However, given his turbulent history of controversial remarks and actions, such a high-profile opportunity with the NFL seems unlikely.
In another controversial appearance, Kanye dressed in a Ku Klux Klan outfit during an interview with Akademiks, complete with a Swastika chain, further provoking public outrage and discussion.
Kanye West’s latest moves continue to polarize opinion and spark intense debate. With actions that challenge societal norms and defy conventional boundaries, he remains a figure of controversy and fascination. Whether this will impact his musical and public standing remains to be seen.
