Infamous rapper Kanye West has once again stirred controversy with a series of shocking social media posts, including an image of a T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika. The rapper, who was ridiculed at the Critics' Choice Awards on 7th February, is no stranger to causing a stir on Twitter and Instagram.
His recent barrage of tweets over the past few days have included anti-Semitic remarks, self-proclaimed racism, and assertions of control over his wife. In his latest provocation, the 'Gold Digger' star posted a picture of a white T-shirt featuring a swastika, dubbing it his 'greatest performance art piece'.
Alongside the image, he wrote: "I've wanted to make this tee shirt for years My greatest performance art piece thus far". Kanye's rant continued in his signature all-caps style, stating: "I DONT LIKE THAT I SAID SOCIAL EXPERIMENT I TWEETING EVERYTHING I FELT AND IM NOT FIXING NOTHING F**K EVERYONE".
Kanye West persisted in defending his provocative remarks, emphatically stating in a post: "IM NOT GONNA DO ALL THIS WORK TO SAY WHAT THE F**K I WANT AND THEN NOT SAY WHAT THE F**K I WANT". The controversy didn't stop there; Kanye targeted Fashion Nova founder Richard Saghian by posting a video where he's seen with the fashion mogul.

In the footage, Kanye comments, "I see what it is right here man, right here," before putting his arm around Richard, who greets him with "What's up man," to which Kanye responds: "Shalom," the Hebrew word for peace, reports the Mirror.
West proceeded to hurl accusations at Saghian, claiming he stole his designs. He alleged on Twitter: "ME AND RICH FROM FASHIONOVA HE AS ALWAYS GIVEN ADVICE AND TRIED TO HE CARES ABOUT ME AND WANTED TO SEE HOW I WAS DOING AS TWO ALPHA MAVERICK EGO MANIAC KNOW IT ALLS WE NEVER BUSINESS THIS MAN CHANGED THE GAME OF FASHION AS WE KNOW IT WHILE RIPPING YEEZY OFF THOUGH HE STOLE MY DESIGNS I HAD TO REMIND MY SELF TO NOT LIKE HIM GO TO http://YEEZY.COM".
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian's former spouse, Kanye, engaged in a prolonged tirade on social media yesterday, unleashing a barrage of contentious posts throughout his online presence. The artist has faced bans and voluntarily deactivated his accounts on numerous platforms following backlash from prior anti-Semitic outbursts.

Just yesterday, the father of four shared a series of anti-Semitic and misogynistic posts, even targeting sick children in his tirade. He claimed to only interact with those who are 'useful' to him, expressing a lack of 'respect' or 'empathy' for others.
Adding fuel to the fire, Kanye also labelled himself a Nazi and a racist, vowing never to apologise for his offensive remarks against the Jewish community. In one tweet, he vented: "I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE F*** ANTI SEMITIC MEANS. IT'S JUST SOME BULLS*** JEWISH PEOPLE MADE UP TO PROTECT THEIR BULLS***. JEWISH PEOPLE ACTUALLY HATE WHITE PEOPLE AND USE BLACK PEOPLE".
At the Critics' Choice Awards last night, comedian Chelsea Handler couldn't resist taking a swipe at the rapper. As she hosted the ceremony for the third consecutive year in California, she made a dig at Kanye's recent outburst while introducing actor Jesse Eisenberg to the stage.

Eisenberg was presenting the award for Best Supporting Actress, which was won by Zoe Saldana. However, before he took to the stage, Handler poked fun at Kanye by introducing Eisenberg as "from a movie we know Kanye West didn't see."
Eisenberg starred in the comedy-drama, A Real Pain. The plot of the Jewish-themed film revolves around mismatched cousins David and Benji touring Poland to honour their grandmother.
Their journey becomes complicated as old tensions resurface while they delve into their family history.
