Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appeared to write a barrage of posts Friday morning on X, making offensive comments about the Jewish community and saying he has 'dominion' over his wife.
A slew of posts were made on the 47-year-old artist's account — many of them derogatory and self-boasting — started around 4 a.m. PT (7 a.m. ET). NBC News attempted to reach out to Ye's representatives for comment on the posts.
Many of Ye's posts centered on the Jewish community, the most severe of which said, "I love Hitler" and "I'm a Nazi."
In an early post, he wrote, 'I'm never apologizing for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f--- I wanna say forever. Where's my f------ apology for freezing my accounts.'
He followed that with saying Jewish people 'don't run me no more.' In one post, he wrote: 'Some of my best friends are Jewish and I don't trust any of them,' followed by a laughing crying emoji. In another, he posted 'I'm buying two Maybachs tomorrow' adding 'Ima make the Jewish person who's selling it to me read all these tweets and I bet you you see me whipping Maybachs.'
'I'm racist stereo types (sic) exist for a reason and they all be true,' he wrote in another post.
'I don't even know what the f--- anti Semitic means. It's just some bull---- Jewish people made up to protect their bull----,' the rapper said in a separate post.
In another post, he wrote 'All white people are racist' and 'Jewish people actually hate white people and use black people.'
Another said: 'I love when Jewish people come to me and say they can't work with me anymore its my fav.'
Ye has had his X, previously known as Twitter, account suspended at least twice in the past.
His account was suspended in December 2022 after he made antisemitic comments and praised Hitler. Musk, the owner of X, said at the time Ye's account would be suspended after he posted an image that appeared to show a swastika inside a Star of David. Musk said the suspension was 'for incitement to violence.' The account was unsuspended by July 2023.
In October 2022, Ye's account was restricted over antisemitic comments but he returned to the platform the following month. In that case, he also made antisemitic remarks that led to Adidas cutting ties with the rapper.
Ye's Friday morning maelstrom of posts also touched on other topics, including his wife, Elon Musk and Sean "Diddy" Combs.
He spoke on the look of his wife, Bianca Censori, at the Grammy's — a see-through dress — writing: 'I have dominion over my wife. This ain't no woke as feminist s---.'
'She's with a billionaire. Why would she listen to any of you dumb a-- broke broke b------. People say the red carpet look was her decision. Yes I don't make her do nothing she doesn't want to but she definitely wouldn't have been able to do it without my approval you stupid a-- woke pawns. I have no respect or empathy for anyone living cause no one living can f--- with me but I do love some people and I give them favor.'
In another post on politics, he said then-Vice President Kamala Harris was 'just being used for what they call 'the Black Vote.''
One post seemed to support Combs, who previously went by the name Puff Daddy.
'My support of Puff is completely selfish. I need to find whoever been trying to out black moguls,' Ye wrote.
Combs, who is in federal custody and being held in Brooklyn, was indicted in the Southern District of New York in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has denied all the allegations against him to date, which include the federal criminal case and more than 30 civil lawsuits filed against him.
Ye also said that every post he writes "promotes Elon's platform." Another post on Musk said: 'Elon stole my Nazi Swag at the Inauguration.'
During his speech at the post-inauguration rally, Musk said the 2024 election 'really mattered' and thanked the crowd 'for making it happen,' before placing his right hand on his chest and then extending his arm, palm facing down, at an upward angle. He then turned around and made the same gesture and said, 'My heart goes out to you. It is thanks to you that the future of civilization is assured.'
Musk later referred to allegations that he performed a Nazi salute as 'pure propaganda' and 'dirty tricks.'
Less incendiary, several posts on Ye's account just appeared to stoke his own ego.
He wrote: 'I am above any other celebrity that's ever existed. I look down on them and they look up to me,' calling himself the 'top.'
Another post said, 'All rappers want my spot' and 'every rapper living wanna be me every rapper living wish they was Ye.'
Ye's tirade was condemned by Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.
'Here we go again. Another egregious display of antisemitism, racism and misogyny from Ye on his X account this morning. Just a few years ago, ADL found that 30 antisemitic incidents nationwide were tied to Kanye's 2022 antisemitic rants,' Greenblatt said. 'We condemn this dangerous behavior and need to call it what it is: a flagrant and unequivocal display of hate.'
