Unmedicated bipolar Kanye has form going back six years or more

It will blow over soon enough

4 years ago -

6 years ago -

5 years ago -

It's just that this is what is deemed as breaking news in 2022, obviously there's nothing more serious happening in the world that warrants thousands of hours of media attention

I don't know much at all about him but it seems to me that if he just stuck to making music and shoes which he seems to be good at, and stayed away from unpopular, divisive political issues he'd continue to do well.

Yes, he is bipolar. Part of the problem is the media machine elevated this mentally unstable man into a position of wealth and influence, exacerbating his massive ego. And then people are shocked when he does and says controversial things. (Scratches head)

Much of this story is absurdly and darkly humorous.
Kanye: "Jews run the media."
-Twitter account cancelled.
Kanye: "Jews run the banks."
-Bank account cancelled.

Wonder how this will play out in the long run.

He'll probably be ok.

Celebrities say stupid shit all the time, the media makes a big deal of it, people get outraged, the celebrity in question gets a lot of attention and their PR people no doubt love it .. all publicity is good publicity and all that. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if half the crap that generates outrage is planned.

For every group that says 'you can't say that about Jews', there will be another group that says 'hell yeah, we hate Jews too, this dude is our kind of people, let's get behind him (and get access to his huge fanbase)'.

And Kanye sells more CDs and shoes.

Maybe Kanye can become the new leader of the Alt-Right!

Other celebrities have gone through the "antisemitic" wringer and their careers recovered eventually. Thinking of Gibson, Oldman and Ice Cube. All of them bent the knee and grovelled, of course.

Making anti jew comments and the first thing that cancels you is a bank - hmmmm?

Maybe they groveled, maybe they just put out a statement saying something like 'I regret any offense I may have caused blah blah' ... I have no idea but I suspect they just did that, most people said 'who cares' and moved on, and a month later nobody even remembered it.

Outside of celebrity news sites and online drama queens, who make their living through creating clickbait, I really don't think it matters that much to most people. The average bloke likes a song or movie because it's (in their opinion) a good song or movie - you can drink a beer and tap your toe to the music or escape reality through the movie. How many people REALLY stop liking a song or their favourite movie because they find out they wouldn't like the performer in real life? If they did Michael Jackson's music wouldn't still be making money and Tom Cruise wouldn't have acted in a movie for years.
