Kanye West: Rapper Outcast
FOR YEARS NOW, rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has behaved like a social media troll. He interrupted award shows, dissed everyone from his former wife Kim Kardashian to music industry figures, called slavery “a choice”, and ran for president. He is always appearing to be in search of the next outrageous thing to do so he can have the spotlight fixed on him. And yet he crossed a line he had long been pushing when he started making anti-Semitic rants a few years ago. He even issued an apology at one point, only to retract it and double down on his comments, declaring himself a Nazi, releasing a song that glorified Hitler and selling t-shirts adorned with swastikas.
