Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, remains a master of viral chaos. Amid swirling divorce rumors with wife Bianca Censori and a relentless stream of headline-grabbing antics, the rapper’s social media activity has become a Rorschach test for fans and critics alike. From cryptic fashion stunts to inflammatory posts, Ye’s recent moves blur the line between calculated provocation and personal unraveling—all while keeping his fractured relationships under a microscope.

A new tweet praising an A-list actor, Timothée Chalamet, hints at shifting loyalties and reignites questions about a fallen friendship.

Ye stirred speculation this week with a tweet that sidestepped his recent controversies, calling Timothée Chalamet “one of my favorite people.” While avoiding direct mention of Travis Scott, the timing speaks volumes. Scott, a longtime collaborator and friend, recently unfollowed Ye on Instagram, a quiet but telling move amid their icy rapport. The nod to Timothée Chalamet, now dating Scott’s ex Kylie Jenner, adds layers to the drama. By elevating Chalamet, he might have subtly undermined Scott, whose absence from Ye’s inner circle grows more glaring.

The tweet’s subtext hints at approval of Kylie Jenner’s new relationship. Their bond, once cemented by music on projects like 'Watch' and 'UTOPIA,' and family ties, now appears fractured, with Scott’s silence fueling theories of a permanent rift. Meanwhile, critics argue the tweet’s vague antisemitic nod downplays Ye’s recent antisemitic rhetoric, reframing it as a mere distraction rather than a serious reckoning.

While Ye pivots to praise, his X feed tells a darker story, one that is costing him allies and legacy.

In February, Ye ignited widespread condemnation with a three-day X rant that repeatedly endorsed extremist ideologies and targeted marginalized groups. The platform suspended his account following the inflammatory posts, which included overt references to historical hate symbols. Brands like Shopify swiftly distanced themselves, shutting down his Yeezy website as public outrage intensified. Critics accused the rapper of masking hate speech as provocative commentary, further eroding his dwindling industry support.

Ye doubled down by launching Nazi-themed merchandise on Yeezy.com, including T-shirts emblazoned with swastikas. The move, labeled artistic rebellion by his team, drew sharp rebukes from advocacy groups and former allies. His deliberate embrace of antisemitic symbolism deepened fears of normalizing extremism, cementing his fall from visionary to provocateur.
