Back And Forth
Ye followed Zhao on X, sparking collaboration rumors. He then demanded his number, posting offensive comments before claiming the Binance founder had DM’d him.
Shortly after, Ye unfollowed CZ, replacing him with Olaf Carlson-Wee and Dave Portnoy. He also shared an altered Binance logo featuring a swastika, drawing backlash.
Ye Loses It
As Ye promoted his “Swasticoin,” Community Notes flagged his tweets, warning that he may have sold access to his account to a known crypto scammer. Despite the warnings, Ye continued posting erratically, claiming his token was gaining attention and was decentralized.
Kanye also contradicted himself by claiming he respected Jewish people but later making divisive statements about them.
