Kanye West continues to cause controversy with his latest storm of offensive tweets.
West, who changed his name to Ye in 2021, has a long history of espousing antisemitic views, though he has tried to walk them back at various points. The rapper ignited controversy again in February 2025 by writing via social media that he “loves Hitler” and asked for jewelers to make him “swastika chain designs.”
The “Power” musician has also been widely condemned for his defense of Sean “Diddy” Combs in light of the latter’s federal sex trafficking and related charges (for which Diddy has pleaded not guilty).
As if West wasn’t facing enough scrutiny, he has alarmed many with his comments about his “dominion” over wife Bianca Censori. (Censori, for her part, denied writing a viral “plea” about West and has been by his side at events.)
Keep scrolling for a look at some famous faces who have responded to West’s most recent firestorm:
Playboi Carti
The release of Playboi Carti’s third studio album, Music, has been somewhat overshadowed by West’s criticism of the record. West is credited as a producer on the track “Backd00r” but later condemned Carti for including Kendrick Lamar on three of Music’s tracks.

“I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music,” West complained via X. “He raps very good, but I didn’t need to hear him on Carti[‘s] album.”
He took issue with Carti messaging his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, to playfully ask for a future musical collaboration with her and West’s daughter North West. Kardashian later shared the message on her Instagram Story, sparking an outburst from West.
“Hey North your dad gave me my biggest song and co sign and I left him off of my album because of his tweets oh but North you my niece I gotta use your vocals,” West tweeted. “I held my tongue about mot[sic] being on Carti album him going to my ex to ask my daughter to be on a song 2 days later was too far nobody finna play with me.”
Carti’s response via social media was swift and blunt, telling West: “Ye STFU.”
West later insisted: “I decided North won’t be doing any songs with Carti. How it look for me to get left off the album and then he ask Kim to have vocals from my daughter? I don’t give a f— about none of this industry s—.”
Iggy Azalea
West continued his vendetta against Playboi Carti by targeting his ex-girlfriend Azalea, with whom he has a 5-year-old son named Onyx. The couple split around the time Azaela gave birth in June 2020.
In a series of tweets, West warned that unless Azalea let her young son contribute vocals to one of his tracks, he would “rap about one of [her] businesses.” Azalea responded by asking West to keep her 5-year-old son out of his beef with Carti.
“Ye, I understand the point you want to make. I say this with kindness & as a mother: Please, leave my child out of this,” she wrote via X.
She argued that bringing Onyx into the situation “creates a digital legacy & an odd (s*****) situation for him to one day discover & endure in perpetuity from strangers online.”
West responded with a crude tweet saying he “intentionally never smashed” Azalea because of her rumored dating history.
Cassie
West has been a staunch supporter of Diddy since the latter was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution in September 2024. In March 2025, West announced the release of a new song, “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” featuring his daughter North and Diddy.
West took aim at Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, who filed suit against the producer in 2023 over alleged abuse allegations. Diddy denied Cassie’s accusations but ultimately settled the suit.
“HOW EVERY N—- YOU KNOW HIT A GIRL BEFORE BUT EVERYBODY SO MAD AT PUFF,” Ye wrote on Tuesday, March 18 (via Vibe). “SO CASSIE AINT EXTORT PUFF?”

He continued, “CASSIE CAME TO PUFF AND SAID GIMME 30 MILLION OR IMA RELEASE A TELL ALL BOOK THATS LOOK LIKE EXTORTION TO ME.”
Cassie responded on her Instagram Story by sharing Playboi Carti’s tweet: “YE STFU.”
Punch
Terrence “Punch” Henderson Jr. weighed in on the criticism of Lamar’s featured slots on Playboi Carti’s Music mere moments after West tweeted.
“Aye… What’s up with this Kanye West n—-,” Punch tweeted just 20 minutes after West slammed Lamar on his X account.
Punch has a long professional relationship with Lamar, as he is the president of the hip-hop icon’s former record label Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE). He also executive produced Lamar’s debut solo album Section.80 in 2011.
David Schwimmer
The former Friends star has been hugely vocal in his opposition to West over the last several years. He wrote via Instagram in February that while it was impossible to “stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile,” social media companies should step in to deplatform him.
Schwimmer specifically referenced West calling himself “a Nazi” and perpetuating the harmful stereotype that Jewish people “steal” money from their coworkers.

“Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews,” Schwimmer argued.
The actor went on, “I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he identifies as a Nazi (which implies he wants to exterminate ALL marginalized communities including his own) or the fact that there is not sufficient OUTRAGE to remove and ban him from all social media at this point. Silence is complicity.”
Amber Rose
The model spoke out after Kanye defended his wife, Censori, for wearing a see-through dress at the 2025 Grammy Awards in February.
“My wife’s first red carpet opened a whole new world,” he tweeted on February 6. “I keep staring at this photo like I was staring in admiration that night Thinking wow I am so lucky to have a wife that is so smart talented brave and hot.”
West’s tweets took a decidedly dark turn the following day as he wrote, “I have dominion over my wife. This ain’t no woke as feminist s—.”
Rose, who dated West from 2008 to 2010, told the “Club Shay Shay” podcast on March 5 that the rapper was “for sure dressing [Censori] like that.”
“He did the same thing to me and Kim [Kardashian]. That’s who he is. He wants other men to want his woman. That’s what he’s into. He likes that,” she insisted.
“He likes that men are drooling over his woman,” Rose added. “That’s what he is into.”
X
Twitter / X owner Elon Musk suspended West’s account in December 2022 for violating the social media company’s “rule against incitement to violence” with his tweets against the Jewish community. However, Musk reversed course in 2023 by reactivating West’s account, along with a number of other controversial figures.
Numerous activists and X users have once again called on Musk to ban West from the platform following his latest string of offensive tweets. While no action has yet been taken in that direction, X users are now warned of “potentially sensitive content” when they navigate to West’s account.
Tina Knowles
Knowles shared a message via Instagram on March 19 after grandchildren Sir and Rumi Carter were mentioned in West’s social media posts. In her video, Knowles shared a joke with her followers, “What happens when a snowman throws a tantrum? He has a meltdown. Y’all know that’s funny!”
Knowles captioned the post, “Corny joke, time! 
it’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil. But I know that no weapon formed against me or my family shall prosper.
This battle is not mine, but the Lords, I know that God has got this.”
