Ye is beginning to really feel the burden of his most up-to-date antisemitic and fatphobic feedback. First, celebrities urged Elon Musk to ban him from Twitter. Then, his personal friends — together with Travis Scott and Tyler, The Creator — started unfollowing him. Now, issues have escalated to folks making dying threats in opposition to the “All Falls Down” artist’s youngsters.
“I am reposting this. I do not suppose it was honest to have it taken down,” Ye wrote on Sunday (Feb. 9) morning in reference to a earlier tweet that included the screenshot. Twitter understandably eliminated the submit resulting from it violating their non-public data coverage. He continued, “This was despatched to my spouse yesterday. Folks [are] threatening to kill my kids.”
“[You] maintain tweeting about me like I don’t know the place your daughter [stays at],” learn a textual content from an nameless quantity, presumably from one of many many individuals Ye known as out over the previous few days. “We [are] gonna see in the event you [are] about what you kind in individual.”
“I do know the place North [West] lives. I do know the place her mother lives. It’s [a small] world. Delete your tweets about me,” the message continued earlier than urging the Chicago rapper to “maintain tweeting about fats folks” as a substitute. In one other textual content, the sender threatened to “pull up on North so quick.”
“Watch me,” they stated. “Be a person and reply my calls, Ye. You [are] a b**ch.” Naturally, followers went into detective mode to determine who it may need been. In any case, Ye has name-dropped lots of people just lately — Drake, Dave Chappelle, Adin Ross, Diddy, and even the late Virgil Abloh — so the listing of potentialities isn’t precisely quick.
Regardless of the apparent menace at hand, Ye continued his days-long tweeting spree. In a now-deleted submit, he urged Kendrick Lamar to shout, “Free Puff” on the Tremendous Bowl LIX and, for some cause, began posting grownup content material. It’s a fairly unlucky technique to watch the Hip Hop icon spiral, however he’s surprisingly bounced again from a lot worse.
