Kanye poses in a swastika chain with white supremacist Nick Fuentes
Kanye West's latest outrageous stunt is a video featuring him posing in a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace next to infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
The controversial rapper, who has made numerous public antisemitic comments, introduces a smiling Fuentes on the video as his 'white supremacist homeboy.'
In the now-deleted video, which was posted to X, West, who has legally changed his name to Ye, is seen standing next to Fuentes inside some kind of large venue, with loud music blaring nearby.
'Yo,' West says to the camera. 'You know I'm here with my white supremacist homeboy Nick. We're back.' The rapper is wearing the large Nazi symbol on his chest and jewel-encrusted grills.
The pair are known to be friendly, having been photographed together at dinner with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022 — resulting in a backlash against the president.
Shortly afterward, West appeared on far-right media network InfoWars and sang the praise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
In recent weeks, West has displayed a bizarre infatuation with the swastika and other Nazi imagery. In another now-deleted post West claimed to be teasing a new artwork for his Sunday service choir that bore a striking resemblance to the logo of the SS.
In February, the rapper appeared in a 60-second ad at the Super Bowl, in which he directed viewers to his website to sell T-shirts bearing a swastika. The shirts cost $20, though the sales website – yeezy.com – later stated that the store was 'unavailable.'
Last August Fuentes claimed West had floated the idea of somehow legally changing his name to a swastika.
Fuentes is a Holocaust denier and has previously called for non-Christians to be executed.

Watch this drag queen give a master class on dealing with anti-LGBTQ+ protesters
Trying to talk to conservative Christians should come with hazard pay, but one drag queen is going viral for her unique way of turning the interaction around. While attending Canyon Country Pride on June 8, drag queen Cookie Pusss passed by a man named Paul who was holding a sign reading, 'I'm A Sinner' while encouraging Pride parade attendees to repent their sins, Queerty reports. 'Anything that does not reflect the nature and character of god is not to be worshipped,' Paul said of people glorifying pride as a virtue in the now-viral TikTok video. We've all been to Pride Parades where anti-LGBTQ+ Christian protestors have held up hateful signs and hurled bible verses at queer marchers, but Cookie Pusss managed to stop Paul dead in his tracks by asking him a random "get to know you" style question that turns the whole conversation around: 'What's your favorite pizza topping?' In an instant, Paul goes from having a scowl on his face to smiling, but seems unsure why he's being asked about pizza, calling the question a 'non sequitur' while they were having a 'good conversation.' Me and Paul the Protestor talk about idolatry and bacon on pizza at #canyoncountypride2025 #gaypride #pizza #protestor #paul #gay #idolatry 'I would give it a five out of 10. You were just kind of spouting stuff. I think the cool stuff is getting to know you,' Cookie Pusss responds. The drag queen tells Paul that if he tells her what his favorite kind of pizza is, she'll listen to him 'talk about idolatry for like five more minutes.' Paul lights up and says, 'What a deal,' before telling Cookie Pusss that bacon is his favorite topping. The two have a short conversation about pizza as though they were friends and not on opposing sides of a vast political divide, before she says, 'Well, see, now we have something we can relate on.' See on Instagram The comment section of the TikTok video, which has already been viewed 670,000 times at the time of publication, is full of people who are pleasantly surprised that the drag queen was able to turn the conversation around so easily by talking to Paul as though he were a friend. 'I'm not joking this needs to be studied because you literally made him snap out of it for a second,' someone commented. 'Oh he flirting honeyyyy,' another person wrote. 'Wait a second, tricking them into a real convo might heal the entire world,' commented someone else. 'Honestly the way you switched him from hateful religious monologuing to actual conversation was brilliant, I hope that helped him see you and others within the LGBT community as a person,' another comment read. Cookie Pusss has tried other tactics with anti-LGBTQ+ protestors, including in April when she posed and twerked in front of them in a granny-square skirt, high-heeled boots, and a bikini-style top. But it was this simple question about pizza that seems to have made the biggest difference. Cookie Pusss did not immediately respond to Pride's request for comment.

Springsteen's Berlin concert echoes with history and a stark warning
BERLIN (AP) — Veteran rock star Bruce Springsteen, a high-profile critic of President Donald Trump, slammed the U.S. administration as 'corrupt, incompetent and treasonous' during a concert Wednesday in Berlin. He was addressing tens of thousands of fans at a stadium built for the 1936 Olympic Games that still bears the scars of World War II and contains relics from the country's dark Nazi past. 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices, stand with us against authoritarianism, and let freedom reign,' he said. Springsteen, long a political opponent of the president, has made increasingly pointed and contentious public statements in recent concerts. He denounced Trump's politics during a concert last month in Manchester, calling him an 'unfit president' leading a 'rogue government' of people who have 'no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American.' Springsteen is no stranger to Berlin. In July 1988, he became one of the first Western musicians to perform in East Germany, performing to a ravenous crowd of 160,000 East Germans yearning for American rock 'n' roll and the freedom it represented to the youth living under the crumbling communist regime. An Associated Press news story from that period says 'fireworks steaked through the sky' and hundreds of people in the audience waved handmade American flags as they sang along to 'Born in the USA.' Almost four decades later, Springsteen issued a stark warning: 'The America that I love, the America that I've sung to you about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."
