Kanye West continues to stir controversy, with his actions and statements consistently drawing backlash, especially following the recent incident involving the Grammys and his wife, Bianca Censori.
The Australian model has reportedly had enough of the 47-year-old rapper, and the two are said to have separated. Despite the shocking news, West appeared unfazed, posting a cryptic message on social media just an hour after Daily Mail broke the story of their alleged split.
This latest development adds fuel to the fire surrounding West, as he continues to make headlines for all the wrong reasons. On a recent episode of The View, the co-hosts took to task the rapper, who is no stranger to public controversies, for his increasingly objectionable remarks. Alyssa Farah Griffin, a political commentator, addressed the issue head-on, arguing that West should not be allowed to make “openly vile” comments simply because he has mental health challenges. She highlighted that there are countless individuals suffering from mental health issues across the country who do not resort to making bigoted, racist, or anti-Semitic remarks like West has been known to do.
Griffin’s condemnation of the rapper’s behavior was echoed by her fellow co-hosts. Sara Haines pointed out that despite his offensive statements, West is still allowed to make public appearances, including red carpet events, and maintain a high profile in the media. This, she argued, sends the wrong message. Sunny Hostin joined the discussion, calling West’s recent outbursts “really wrong” and “bizarre,” while Joy Behar referred to him simply as a “compulsive attention seeker.”
Ana Navarro, another co-host, reflected on how West had previously received attempts at help, but stated that it was clear the rapper was not interested in changing his behavior. Instead, Navarro believes he wants to remain the person he is, regardless of the harm he causes with his actions and words.
In recent months, West’s career has suffered greatly. He was dropped by his talent agent, David McCartney, and has faced legal battles, including a lawsuit from a former employee. His website, which had been selling T-shirts featuring swastika imagery, was also shut down, further tarnishing his public image. Despite the mounting controversies and setbacks, West shows little sign of backing down or changing his approach.
