Rapper Kanye West, now known as Ye, is facing renewed criticism following a string of anti-trans posts on his X account.
Kanye West, who has a history of making inflammatory statements, posted a series of concerning tweets on X, many of which were considered “insulting” to trans people, with one X user writing: “In a surprise to no one, Kanye is now insulting trans people.”
In one post, he wrote: “My d**k to [sic] long for trans p***y.”
In another, he said: “You start dating a trans woman and wondering why y’all got so many things in common.”
“So this pastor was f***ing this trans and when the congregation found out he said let the church say a man,” a third post stated.
All of them were posted within a few minutes, during a tweeting ‘spree’ from West, who implied that he was attempting to “break the record” for the most tweets posted in 25 minutes.
One person responded to West’s posts by writing: “You could literally talk about anything… leave trans people alone.”
Another person said that “enough is f***ing enough” while a third said that West’s posts were “getting cringe”.
This is not the first time West has made deeply controversial comments on soial media.
He was previously dropped by his talent agency after posting a stream of anti-semitic abuse on X, including claiming that he is a “Nazi” and “love[s] Hitler”.
The rapper also put t-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shirt with the product line “HH-01”, which was assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”, leading to Shopify taking the Yeezy shop offline.
West is preparing to release a new album reportedly titled WW3, featuring tracks with provocative and anti-semitic names, including ‘Heil Hitler’ and ‘Hitler Ye and Jesus’.
Other tracks include “Cosby”, which is assumed to refer to Bill Cosby, who was previously found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault, as well as a track titled “Free Diddy”, referring to musician Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently is in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, awaiting trial on sex trafficking and racketeering charges, after being denied bail multiple times.
In another track, “Bianca”, he appears to confirm his recent separation from his wife Bianca Censori. West and Censori were reportedly married in Beverly Hills in December 2022, not long after the rapper’s divorce from Kim Kardashian was finalised.
The couple made repeated headlines due to Censori’s peculiar outfit choices, for example, she was seen out and about in a nude bodysuit while holding a purple pillow on one occasion.
Another outfit saw Censori wearing an all-black catsuit style outfit, complete with an oversized, avant-garde roll-neck and face covering. More recently, she appeared almost entirely naked at the 2025 Grammys.
According to the Daily Mail, while they were together, West told Censori what she could wear, what she could eat, and also to “never speak.”
