Kanye West didn’t let the Super Bowl stop him from tweeting Sunday, taking a shot at his longtime rival Taylor Swift, while peppering in more anti-Semitic sentiments.
West said, ‘IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE … WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE.’
West was seemingly making reference to Taylor Swift at last week’s Grammys dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track Not Like Us.
Lamar did not get out unscathed, as West said of the Super Bowl Halftime headliner Kendrick Lamar, ‘KENDRICK IS BEING USED BY THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWS AND SO AM I.’
West subsequently took to the platform in a video in which he appeared calm and docile amid the litany of eye-raising statements.
The Grammy-winning artist said he was spurred to say he is of sound mind, amid the cacophony of statements that offended widespread groups of people the past few days.

‘I know you’re all thinking I’m going something through right now and I’ve got bags under my eyes and s***,’ a groggy West told is followers.
He added, ‘I wouldn’t want nobody to like, do an intervention on me – that’s why I wanted to put this video up cause you’re all thinking, “Ye really going it through something right now. Somebody need to go get them or go take his Twitter and stuff like that.”
‘But I’m just telling you calmly that I am in a good space – I’m really in a positive space, it’s cathartic.’
West also addressed a disclaimed X/Twitter added to his account on Sunday amid multiple days of tweets taking aim at a number of fellow celebrities, races, religions, body types, domestic violence victims and other sensitive topics.
The warning read: ‘Caution: This profile may include potentially sensitive content. You’re seeing this warning because they post potentially sensitive images or language. Do you still want to view it?’
West alluded to the disclaimer, urging X/Twitter owner Elon Musk to let him keep his account.
West said, ‘AS I TWEET IN CODE WORDS AND KISS ELONS A** AND BEG HIM TO NOT CANCEL MY ACCOUNT.’
West also appeared to reference his growing tension with Musk, as he responded to a user who alluded to the Tesla founder as a Nazi.
This comes just weeks after the billionaire generated controversy at President Donald Trump’s inauguration with what appeared to be a Nazi salute. (Musk denied the allegations.)

West replied to a user who linked to a story about Musk unfollowing West on X/Twitter, with the caption, ‘fake nazis when a real nazi walks in.’
West replied, ‘SINCE IM GETTING KICKED OFF TWITTER SOON. EVERYBODY IS A NAZI TILL A REAL NAZI PULLS UP.’
Following a weekend of condemnation from social media users after a torrent of controversial statements, West said he wouldn’t take back a single tweet.
‘I got my ideas out – that’s all that happened and that was very freeing for me,’ he said. ‘And it was worth everything – it was worth everything to do that.’
West said he ‘just saw a video of’ Kodak Black looking worse for wear, and noticed he had been wearing a Donda chain from his Yeezy fashion line.
West said in a subsequent clip that this led him to interpret it as a sign to board a flight and help his fellow musical artist.
