Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has once again stirred the pot of public intrigue by reactivating his X account (formerly Twitter) this week. As with most things Ye, his return to the social media platform has been anything but subtle, coinciding with a fresh wave of backlash over his latest Yeezy merchandise.
The controversial drop has drawn accusations of Nazi-inspired designs, a claim that has ignited a firestorm of criticism. Timing is everything, and Ye’s social media revival has amplified the uproar. With a staggering 31 million followers, the Chicago-born artist’s reappearance on X is already making waves.
For those keeping tabs, Ye had deactivated his account in March 2024, stepping back from the platform after a series of contentious posts. Now, at 47 years old, Ye’s return has fans and critics alike wondering: what’s next? Given his history of unpredictable behaviour, many are cautiously waiting to see if his reactivation heralds a new chapter of creative expression or another round of public controversy.
Adding fuel to the fire, footage from a 2020 lawsuit deposition recently resurfaced, casting a spotlight on Ye’s often combative demeanour. In the clip, Ye exhibits a mix of standoffish and unruly behaviour, a reminder of the artist’s personality, even if it didn’t quite reach the heights of his more infamous moments.
