Daily Record UK reported on February 7, 2025, that the controversial rap figure had lost thousands of followers following his series of contentious statements on X formerly known as Twitter. On February 7, 2025, Kanye tweeted that he was a N*zi. He followed after by expressing his love for Adolf Hitler with the tweet:

"I LOVE HITLER. NOW WHAT B***ES."

He defended his Swastika post by alleging that any black person who was offended by it was a programmed slave. When he got called out for his comments labeled as antisemitic on the platform, the 24-time Grammy Award winner refused to back down and tweeted instead:

"IM NEVER APOLOGIZING FOR MY JEWISH COMMENTS I CAN WHATEVER THE F*** I WANNA SAY FOREVER WHERES MY F***ING APOLOGY FOR FREEZING MY ACCOUNTS SUCK MY D*** HOWS THAT FOR AN APOLOGY.”

Kanye West maintained his stance on not apologizing and declared that he’d prefer to speak his mind than remain silent:

“I’D RATHER PAY THE PRICE FOR EXPRESSING MYSELF THAN TO PAY THE PRICE FOR NOT EXPRESSING MYSELF. WOULD YOU RATHER BE HATED FOR YOU ARE OR LOVED FOR WHO YOU AREN’T”
