Nick Fuentes, a political commentator, talks about his connection to rapper Ye (Kanye West) in a new teaser for the Twins Pod podcast. The preview, which runs two minutes and 40 seconds, appeared on X on April 23, 2025. This marks Fuentes' second time on the show hosted by the Hodgetwins, after his first visit in 2024.
During the discussion, a host asked Fuentes about his current ties to Ye, mentioning a video from March 2025 that's no longer online.
"You was with Kanye, y'all still pretty close?" he asked
Fuentes said he still talks to the rapper but worries about how their public interactions might hurt his image. Looking back on their work together, Fuentes joked about his fears of being linked to controversial images, stressing that the fallout for him would be very different from what Ye might face.
"Am I gonna be in a swastika t-shirt and a klan robe? I'm like, what's that gonna do for my image? He can get away with it, he is black. If I'm in a swastika shirt, I'm never gonna live that down," he said.
The video in question, shot earlier that year, showed Ye wearing a diamond-covered pendant that looked like a n*zi symbol, with Fuentes nearby. Ye made a bold statement introducing Fuentes as his "white supremacist homeboy," while Fuentes replied, "We back," hinting at their ongoing relationship. People took notice of the clip because of its provocative symbols and the interaction between the two figures.
In the podcast preview, Fuentes talked about more than just his connection to Ye. He shared his thoughts on ex-President Trump, the Israel-Hamas fight, and other news, giving us a sneak peek at what the full show will cover.
