The rapper and entrepreneur has once again taken to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, to unleash a torrent of angry and controversial posts. This digital tirade follows his appearance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, where he and his Australian model wife, Bianca Censori, 30, sparked immediate outrage on the red carpet. While the precise nature of the event remains a topic of contention, the impact of their choices was undeniable, setting the stage for a week of escalating controversy.

On February 7th, 2025, the digital world bore witness to a disturbing spectacle. West launched into a misogynistic rant, primarily targeting female plus-sized models. This attack, delivered via Twitter (now X), marked just one facet of his increasingly volatile public persona. The American rapper, 47, seemed particularly incensed by what he termed a "woke decision." The specifics of this "woke decision" and its target remain unclear, but West's ire was palpable.

Other users, as documented on February 7th, 2025, further amplified the situation. Memes and jokes quickly spread, with users like @supersonic16023 and @yandhiisntreal gaining significant traction; their posts garnered over 40,000 and 20,000 likes respectively within a mere two days. The rapid spread of this content underscored the public's conflicted response: fascination, disgust, and a morbid curiosity fueled the engagement.

The descent into controversy isn't new for West. He has a history of inflammatory statements. On Thursday night, his social media activity became even more charged. West went on the offensive, spewing vile profanities and making bold claims. He even declared, "I'm God." These statements, coupled with others, paint a portrait of an artist seemingly detached from the consequences of his words and actions.

The rapper's actions extend beyond words. He has admitted to physically assaulting women. This admission, made publicly, raises serious questions about accountability and the normalization of abusive behavior. Furthermore, this confession came just hours before his account went dark, suggesting a deliberate attempt to control the narrative, even if temporarily.

The attacks escalated. West has shared a series of offensive and inflammatory tweets, most notably stating that he refuses to apologize for his antisemitic comments. This refusal, combined with other statements, demonstrates a clear disregard for the hurt and offense caused by his words. It is this consistent pattern of behavior that has alienated many of his former supporters.

West's digital tirade began with a declaration of love for Adolf Hitler. He admitted to controlling his wife, then shifted his attention to the MeToo movement. These pronouncements are deeply troubling. His embrace of Hitler is particularly disturbing, given the historical context of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.

In a particularly vile turn, West chose to target "big boned women." His statements included the assertion, "my favorite tweet tonight was about woke fat bitches nobody wanna see,". This comment reflects not only misogyny but also a distorted understanding of body image and societal expectations. It appears that he believes in "no fat and ugly" people welcome at his fashion brand, yeezy, a statement further alienating any potential supporters.

The public's response to his actions has been varied. Some are genuinely concerned for his well-being, pointing to potential mental health issues. Others express frustration at his repeated offenses. The media response has been widespread, from news outlets to entertainment websites, all focused on unraveling West's latest moves. The controversy surrounding his appearance with Censori at the 2025 Grammys, where Censori's attire drew considerable attention, only intensified the situation.

The rapper has also made disturbing financial assertions. One tweet suggested that an abortion could cost a "ballin' n a" up to $100,000. This callous statement minimized the complexities of reproductive health and further stoked the flames of controversy.

The date, February 7, 2025, has become a focal point in this saga. It marks a period of concentrated inflammatory statements. His actions have prompted significant conversation on the role of celebrities and the boundaries of free speech, particularly on social media platforms.

West's actions aren't confined to social media. His personal life is intertwined with his public persona. Bianca Censori, his wife, has been at the center of a great deal of scrutiny. A statement was released after the Grammys, with reports that Censori "wanted to wear a different dress" and that West "talked her into" the nude red carpet appearance.

The situation presents a complex question: Can an artist's work be separated from their personal conduct? West's music, once considered revolutionary, is now often viewed through the lens of his controversies. The lines between genius and madness, artistic freedom and harmful speech, have blurred. The constant news cycle seems to be dominated by his every action.

West's descent into controversy has raised broader questions. How should society respond to individuals who express hateful views? What are the responsibilities of social media platforms in moderating such content? These are pressing issues that have taken on fresh urgency in the wake of West's recent actions.
