On December 15, Kanye West sent shockwaves on social media when he was seen on Instagram Live making shocking statements about his soured business partnerships, international power dynamics, and the Jewish community. According to The U.S. Sun, his string of statements occurred after his album release party for his project “Vultures” was shut down. Ye also referenced his daughter North West and the supposed lengths she took to be with him in Las Vegas, where the cancelled event was held. “My daughter ripped up the motherf***ing couches in the house to be able to be with me right now,” he claimed.

Elsewhere in his unsettling rant, Ye addressed his antisemitic X, formerly known as Twitter, “def con 3” post from 2022, which got him kicked off the platform temporarily. “When I first put that tweet up, I was dealing with a divorce lawyer,” he said. “I explained to the lawyer what my issue was, and his response was to me, ‘If you keep up this antisemitic rhetoric, you won’t see your kids.’ I knew I couldn’t have an opinion, or I wouldn’t see my kids.” Days before his social media tirade, all seemed to be well with Ye. On December 14, 2023, the Grammy winner was spotted at Disneyland with his wife Bianca Censori and North, per TMZ. He also teased a new collaboration with his eldest daughter, which was supposedly set to be released on his aforementioned new album, per Page Six.
