Kanye West has ignited yet another firestorm of controversy following a sexually explicit message shared on social media, drawing swift and widespread criticism from fans and observers. The 47-year-old rapper and fashion designer, no stranger to public uproar, posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Sometimes you gotta manifest that p—y.”
The provocative post triggered an immediate backlash, with followers denouncing it as crude and unnecessary. Comments poured in, with users urging West to “stop being gross and weird,” while others chimed in with messages like, “No, you really don’t,” and “Ye needs to stop manifesting entirely. It’s gross and evil.” One commenter echoed the collective frustration, writing simply, “Stop it, Ye!” while another added, “We got bigger problems, Ye.”
Seemingly unbothered by the criticism,Kanye West followed up with a bold statement: “Never speak to me like I’m not special.” The declaration only fueled further skepticism, as many interpreted it as another example of the rapper’s increasingly erratic behavior and apparent hunger for attention.
This latest social media drama comes on the heels of Kanye West ’s attempts to repair his reputation following a series of anti-Semitic statements and deeply offensive rhetoric. Just days before his explicit post, West made a public appeal for forgiveness and claimed he had turned a corner. “I am done with anti-Semitism,” he wrote, later adding, “I love all people.”
In a string of reflective posts, the Stronger artist expressed remorse and a newfound mission, inspired by a FaceTime call with his children. “I simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again,” he wrote, before adding spiritually themed messages such as “GOD CALLS FOR PEACE,” “Share peace,” and “Share love.” He also tweeted, “God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused,” followed by, “I forgive those who have caused me pain. Thank you God.”
However, Kanye West ’s critics were quick to question the authenticity of his contrition. Their doubts were amplified by the recent surfacing of an unreleased track titled Heil Hitler, where the rapper allegedly raps: “All my n—— Nazis, n—– Heil Hitler.” The disturbing lyrics directly contradict his stated commitment to peace and tolerance.

“Releasing a song called Heil Hitler and then claiming to be done with anti-Semitism doesn’t add up,” one user remarked. Others demanded accountability, calling for West to take concrete steps such as pulling the track. “Withdraw your Hitler song, erase it from the internet. Show us you’re serious!” one comment read.
Kanye West s behavior has followed a troubling pattern of contradiction. Earlier this year, he declared he wasn’t a Nazi after previously identifying as one. Yet not long after that, he began selling swastika-branded T-shirts on his website—merchandise that was ultimately removed after a public outcry. Around the same time, he made headlines by insisting he would “never apologize” for his past anti-Semitic comments.
These repeated reversals have left the public confused and distrustful of West’s intentions. While he now speaks of love, redemption, and global peace, his history of inflammatory rhetoric and sensationalism continues to overshadow any messages of healing.
The polarizing artist’s behavior has fractured his fanbase. Some loyal supporters continue to view him as a creative genius wrestling with inner demons, while others see a celebrity in free fall, using controversy as a vehicle to remain relevant. Mental health advocates and cultural critics have also weighed in, warning that West’s public behavior—especially when it involves hate speech or sexual vulgarity—has real-world consequences.
They caution that normalising offensive content under the banner of free expression or redemption can do lasting damage to public discourse and further marginalize vulnerable communities.
As Kanye West insists on being acknowledged as “special,” the tension between his desire for validation and the public’s demand for accountability grows sharper. Whether his recent overtures of peace signal a genuine transformation or another chapter in a chaotic narrative remains to be seen. For now, his actions continue to leave audiences questioning where the line between authenticity and performance truly lies.
