Kanye West uses X to praise Hitler and defend Diddy, outraging ...

At what point does a person learn to shut the fuck up? Like for good, which might conceivably involve deactivating all social media accounts, stop flapping one’s gums every time a microphone is in sight, and resisting the urge to trumpet America’s reigning Mango Mussolini as the greatest thing since George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

Once again, there is no answer to the above question when it comes to Kanye West.

Today your mom’s favourite rapper is back in the news for all the wrong reasons. Starting with no less than Adolf Hitler. Despite Donald Trump’s contention that Hitler “did some good things”, most folks on planet Earth know to keep their feelings on the man private.

But suggesting someone might have misplaced their meds, West spent good chunks of a 10-hour binge on X yesterday offending everyone with the possible exception of Trump, the Proud Boys, and whoever is serving these days as the Grand Wizard of Ku Klux Klan.

Highlights of West’s online car crash including the following posts:

• “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT BITCHES”
• “IM A NAZI”
• “Hitler was sooooo fresh”
• “CALL ME YAYDOLF YITLER AND YOUR BITCH STILL WANTS TO FUCK.”
• “I LOVE WHEN JEWISH PEOPLE COME TO ME AND SAY THEY CANT WORK WITH ME ANYMORE ITS MY FAV”
• “IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY FUCKING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY DICK HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.”

Not done there, and seemingly unable to understand basic punctuation, or to decide between going the all caps or the lowercase route, West then pivoted toward everyone’s favourite baby oil baron. Sean “Diddy” Combs might currently be in the clink on sex trafficking charges and accusations he sexually assaulted dozens of people, but he at least has Ol’ Yeezy in his corner.

West Tweeted that “ALL THESE CELEBRITY NIGGAS AND BITCHES” are standing around watching Combs “rot” behind bars. Taking matters into his own hands, and perhaps well aware that America’s most high-profile sex offender has a history of freeing felons—convicted or otherwise—from prison, West then Tweeted at Trump with the words “PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF”. Because, evidently, complete reprobates and pop-music pariahs need to stick together.

And then, like a tropical hurricane, flash flood, truly heinous bout of hot-sauce-related diarrhea, or Kanye West’s career, it was all gone, making one wonder if Ye will be playing Funky Winker Beans instead of BC Place the next time he hits Vancouver.

The final missive being this somewhat sad plea for help:

“ONE THING ABOUT BEING GOD ON EARTH IS YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY FORGIVE EVERY HUMAN”.

Actually you don’t. Especially when they seem to have trouble knowing when to shut the fuck up.
