It is Kanye West again. This time he appears in the headlines for a crude comment about former Vice President Kamala Harris. The music star was making a dirty comment about Harris after she lost the 2024 presidential election of the United States to Donald Trump. His comment was inciting, and he had to delete the post and put up an apology.
Kanye West’s Controversial Comment
It all began with a late-night social media rant. Kanye, who was banned from X (formerly Twitter) in 2023, returned with a series of bold statements. In one post, he made a sexually derogatory remark about Kamala Harris.
He said:
“I used to want to f–k Kamala until she lost. I don’t f–k losers anymore.”
The post instantly elicited a mass backlash. It was considered very disrespectful, misogynistic, and wholly inappropriate. Harris also marked another spot on the books: she was the first female vice president, the first Black, and the first South Asian American ever elected to such a position.
Quick Erase, Quick Sorrow
Kanye erased the post within hours. Too bad: the damage had been done. His words had already spread, and lots of people were condemning him for being so rude.
Just a few minutes later, Kanye apologized and said:
“Kamala appears to be such a nice human. I just wanna say sorry to her kids.”
While many were satisfied with his apology, most were not. Some were of the opinion that he didn’t really apologize but apologized to her kids rather than to her directly. Others claimed that he was only doing this to seek publicity.
Kanye West’s “Joke” About Democrats
Immediately after the apology, Kanye put up another post:
“The democrats made me take the loser post down. Naw I’m kidding. Dey don’t control black people any more. Trump 4 life.”
This statement added fuel to the fire. Instead of calming the situation, he mocked his critics and reaffirmed his support for Trump.
It wasn’t the first time Kanye proclaimed loyalty to Trump. He had already donned MAGA hats and even met with Trump inside the White House. His latest remark proved he was still on the side of the former president.
Kanye West’s Social Media Chaos
Kanye’s comeback to X has been full of drama. He made another surprise move aside from commenting on Kamala Harris. He followed only one person on Instagram – Taylor Swift.
This was a big deal. Kanye and Swift have been feuding for years, going back to the 2009 MTV VMAs. Some said it was a way to reignite their feud. Others said he was just seeking attention.
Public Reaction: Outrage and Debate
Kanye West’s comments sparked mixed reactions.
- Many people criticized his words, calling them inappropriate and uncalled for.
- Others defended him, saying it was just Kanye being Kanye.
- Trump supporters praised him, seeing it as a bold statement.
- Regardless of opinions, Kanye once again proved he knows how to dominate headlines.
