The event comes just days after Ye’s rampage on Twitter, in which he made a series of antisemitic comments, threatening that he would “go Death Con 3 On Jewish People”. The popular American rapper was urged to reconsider his use of the platform by users, and was subsequently banned from Twitter and Instagram simultaneously.
The hate speech expressed by the rapper received strong backlash, but was not the first such incident. Ye had previously claimed that Sean Combs, better known as “P. Diddy”, is “controlled by the Jews”. Diddy, the renowned Hip Hop mogul known for his signature dance moves in early 00’s Hip Hop music videos, refused to comment on the situation.
On the other hand, social influencer and crypto enthusiast David Gokhshtein suggested that Ye should consider storing his $140 million in Bitcoin (BTC).
As a result of the tirade, broadcaster Fox News made the decision to scrap its planned feature on Ye. As if that was not enough, Ye later went on talk show “The Shop” with Lebron James, only to later be called out for “promoting extremely dangerous stereotypes”. On the other side of the coin, Ye expressed sympathy for the everyday person’s struggles with greedy centralized banks in a recent interview, asking the rhetorical question: “If JP Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) is treating me like that, how are they treating the rest of y’all?”.
In other celebrity adoption news, investor Michael Saylor recently went on record to reassure investors that “Bitcoin is everlasting“. While the identity of the leading digital asset’s founder remains unconfirmed, with at least 5 plausible justifiable candidates for the claim, today marks three years since “Satoshi” was entered to the Oxford’s English Dictionary, and is defined as “the smallest monetary unit in the Bitcoin digital payment system”.
