I think either the guy has a weird way of saying things and putting things across, he doesn't think before he says things, or he's absolutely crazy.
He has bipolar II disorder. He does not take medication, and he has cut out of his life everyone who cares (or used to care) about him, and replaced them with certifiable far-right individuals. The last time people who actually cared about him were a part of his life, they essentially compelled him to receive treatment. That was around 2018 (I think?), when he was going through his MAGA phase. He has since decided that his diagnosis and medication are a part of the Jewish conspiracy to silence him. He is undoubtedly experiencing a manic episode.
I feel bad for him. But I also see comments across the internet agreeing with him, which is horrendous. He needs to be de-platformed ASAP, for his own mental health and to prevent his now-Nazi ideology from spreading. Unfortunately there's a lot of anti-semitism in the hip hop community and in the black community at large, partially because black artists feel as though they are taken advantage of by studio executives and producers, many of whom are Jewish.
Ye isn't the first to say things like this (the studio exec part, not the Hitler part lol). They are correct in thinking artists, across the board, are taken advantage of by large studios and corporations. They are wrong, obviously, to think it has anything to do with Judaism or that there is a grand Jewish conspiracy. Perpetuating that idea leads to hate crimes and violence against Jewish people.
