*Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, previously declared himself a Nazi and expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler. However, he has now stated that he is not a Nazi after all.
“After further reflection I’ve come to the realization that I’m not a Nazi,” he wrote in a post shared from his X account on Wednesday, Feb. 19. The rapper appears to have had his account reinstated days after he declared he “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT BITCHES,” and that he was “a Nazi”.
In another post, he added: “SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS ARE JEWISH AND I DONT TRUST ANY OF THEM.”
The hip-hop star seemingly deleted his X account after the page was flagged as having “potentially sensitive content”.
“Given what [Kanye] has posted, his account is now classified as NSFW [not safe for work]. You should not be seeing that anymore,” X owner Elon Musk said at the time.

Before the account was shut down less than two weeks ago, West thanked Musk “for allowing me to vent.”
“It has been very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board,” he said.
A few days later, his account reappeared with the offending posts removed.
We reported earlier that West used an $8 million Super Bowl ad to drive traffic to his website selling a $20 T-shirt featuring a swastika.
The 30-second commercial, which aired in select markets (L.A., Philly, Atlanta) showed Ye in a dental chair repeatedly saying “Umm” while promoting Yeezy.com. When FOX approved the ad, the site featured standard Yeezy apparel, but 48 hours later, it was reduced to just the controversial white shirt with a black swastika on the front. TMZ reported that the ad generated $2 million in sales.
