Kanye West had announced that he would release an album tonight. Kanye was previously a very popular hip hop artist, who destroyed his career by saying “I love Hitler” on Alex Jones show. Kanye has since expressed many far-right political beliefs and collaborated with white supremacist figures.

I checked his twitter today to see if he had actually released the album. I’m worried that if his music becomes popular again, his music will further normalize fascist ideology. Instead, I see that he is trying to sell foldable shoes “on presale”, not manufactured yet. This is a funnier outcome than I could have predicted.

Kanye stans are the biggest suckers on the planet.

      Successful career would mean that he’s making money. He’s been out of the spotlight for a solid year. After Adidas dropped his sponsorship, his net worth dropped by liked 70%. He’s on the fringe right now. This past 3 weeks though, he’s been on the rise a lot and I suspect it’s going to lead to something bad. As the other comment mentions, he just had another antisemitic rant during a music performance about 4 hours ago, but he’s still hanging out with a lot of other big name rappers.

      I made this post about the shoes because it made me laugh. I think scam inventions are funny. I posted this so that other people would laugh too. I’m trying to spread some laughter. Today is Friday. Enjoy yourself. Have a good day.

      A new rant from the end of his “listening party” just went up where he says all the antisemitic shit again along with saying they took down r Kelly and Bill Cosby for being successful black people and threatening to “exile” anybody who doesn’t let him keep ranting

      And thr kanye sub is still full of people defending him or at worse saying shit like “there’s some things you can’t say out loud”

        in a clip I saw yesterday from the listening party/ rave/ whatever he dragged his children on stage for, when the lyric about how can I be antisemitic I just fucked a jewish b#tch, that line was left for the pre recording while kanye started chanting kill, kill, kill

        he sounded off his fucking face too

        at least he’s not going to make bank selling to literal nazis, but I think a bunch of libs are going to buy into this stuff without critiquing anything, and end up in reich-ous running gear
