A new day, a new Ye meltdown. Whether he’s livestreaming unfiltered rants or posting on X just to trend for all the wrong reasons, Ye is once again doing the absolute most—like it’s his full-time job (and honestly, it kind of is).
Fresh off making headlines for the NSFW origin story of his “COUSINS” track and the record-breaking flop that was DONDA 2’s first-week sales, Ye is back with more rage-bait visuals.
At this point, Ye isn’t just posting—he’s performing, and unfortunately for him (and us), the show has no intermission.
Ye’s pissing people off (again)
On May 7, Ye dropped the music video for his new track, “Heil Hitler,” and yes, that’s really the title. The video features a group of Black men in animal skins chanting “n**** Heil Hitler” as the hook, because Ye will never be subtle.
Some of the song’s lyrics include “with all this money and fame, I still can’t get my kids back, With all this money and fame I still can’t see my children, I became a Nazi yet b****, I’m the villain….” The song finishes off with a speech from Adolf Hitler, as if the antisemitism wasn’t blatant enough already.
The previous version of the song features a diss towards Drake (who at one point was on the rapper’s good list) with Ye rapping that “n***** be acting like f*****, think they might be Drake.”
The song is slated to appear on Ye’s upcoming album Cuck, but according to the rapper, it’s already been banned from all streaming platforms. Shocking.
Another day, another disastrous Ye interview
Ye also sat down for an interview with Piers Morgan—because when your public image is in flames, why not pour gasoline on it?
Released May 6, the interview started off wobbly and quickly spiraled. With internet troll Sneako awkwardly posted up on the sidelines, Morgan questioned Ye’s current spiral and got this word salad in response:
“There’s so many people and artists that are championing the idea of someone being able to express who they really are, and have been able to go through the war of being attacked by the banks, attacked by… the banks, that’s the best way to put it, and to still be here with this view. That’s the win, I’m in contrast to your contrast.”
When Morgan mentioned Ye’s 32 million followers on X, Ye fired back with, “You’re not going to take inches off my dick, bro.” Really, you can’t make this shit up. After Morgan’s team corrected the number to 33 million, things somehow got even weirder.
Ye asked Morgan why “all you people in media act like you haven’t played my songs at your weddings, graduations, or at funerals or when your child is born?” He followed that up with a mic-drop moment (not in a good way), telling Morgan to “circle back when you can count” before getting up and walking out.
Sneako tried to salvage what was left of the interview, but at that point, the damage was done. Ye continues to isolate himself from the industry that once crowned him a revolutionary — and even some of his most diehard fans are left asking the same thing: Who’s gonna take his phone away for real this time?
