Kanye West has faced serious consequences for his recent controversial social media posts, which led to his talent agency, 33&West, severing ties with him. On February 10th, Daniel McCartney, a music agent at the agency, publicly announced that he would no longer represent the rapper due to his offensive remarks. McCartney emphasized that the agency could not condone the language West used, highlighting a commitment to unity and respect.
The situation escalated after West posted a series of inflammatory messages on X (formerly Twitter) on February 6, where he praised Adolf Hitler and defended Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. West also denied the existence of antisemitism, making statements that he refused to apologize for. These remarks were widely condemned, and his X account was subsequently suspended, though it is unclear if the suspension was initiated by the platform or West himself.
In the midst of the backlash, West’s wife, Bianca Censori, publicly expressed her concerns on social media, offering unconditional love for her husband despite their differences. This incident follows earlier controversies, including Censori’s nude appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
This marks another chapter in West’s tumultuous public persona, further distancing him from industry professionals and igniting widespread debates about accountability and the impact of public figures’ words.
