Kanye West Retracts Nazi Claims Amid Ongoing Controversy

Ye, the controversial US musician and fashion designer formerly known as Kanye West, disavowed his previous claims of being a Nazi in a social media post on Monday before later deleting it.

Earlier this year, the rapper embroiled himself in a major scandal after proclaiming himself a Nazi, and expressing love for Adolf Hitler, after a lengthy series of anti-Semitic posts on X.

Okay Ive come to the realization that Im not a Nazi And hopefully you guys have come to the realization that I can and will say whatever the fck I feel like whenever the fck I feel like it, Ye said in a now-deleted post on X on Monday.

Ye has become notorious for his public anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi tirades and interviews . The fallout from his statements has cost him hundreds of millions of dollars due to the loss of corporate sponsors over the past few years.

Last month, the controversial rapper-turned-fashionista flashed a white t-shirt with a swastika in a video published by the US tabloid TMZ. Ye called the stunt his greatest dream in a now-deleted X post the same day.
