Kanye West, (now known as Ye), has often been mired in controversies. The American rapper has made a habit of indulging in comments that have gone against public belief. His recent antisemitic words in an interview have resulted in a huge uproar. Many are condemning his actions, with some advising the ‘Donda’ singer to get medical help. Perhaps golf sensatio, Paige Spiranac, was ahead of time, as she had requested Ye to get help after the latter’s social media rant during his 2020 presidential election campaign.

Why is Kanye West trending again?

Ye seems to have made a habit of being under fire for the wrong reasons. His latest development involved making comments toward the Black and Jewish communities, while also appearing to praise Adolf Hitler.

His words caused another uproar and resulted in the revoke of the honorary doctorate received from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It was awarded to him in 2015 but rescinded due to recent “anti-Black, antisemitic and incendiary statements.”

“[Kanye West’s] anti-Black, antisemitic, and incendiary statements, particularly those directed at Black and Jewish communities, are disgusting and condemnable,” SAIC President, Elissa Tenny, said in a statement. “His words and actions have been painful for our entire community and, particularly, for those of us who feel that our identities and life experiences are under attack.”
