Is Kanye 'getting arrested soon'? Recent social media activity might contain clues
American rapper and pop culture icon Kanye West, who often goes by Ye, seems to have gone full-blown "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs." His recent social media activity doubling down on his past anti-Semitic comments, praising Hitler, calling for the pardoning of Sean "Diddy" Combs, and claiming “dominion” over his wife, Bianca Censori, who wore a fully nude dress to the Grammys allegedly at Kanye’s insistence, has everyone deeply concerned about the music mogul's cognitive state.
Jason Whitlock, who once gave Kanye the benefit of the doubt for his unabashed Donald Trump advocacy and his short-lived Christian music era, says he’s now "embarrassed" he ever defended the artist.
“Kanye has crashed and burned, and I will never take him seriously again,” he says.
"Fearless" contributor Shemeka Michelle argues that Ye’s social media stunt, which culminated in his account either being deleted or taken down by X, is likely a desperate plea for attention.
“Something must be coming down the pike. Maybe he has a new album coming out,” she speculates.
Jason, however, has a different theory: Kanye “might be getting arrested soon.”
He points to two tweets as evidence. In the first one, Ye claimed that “GOING TO JAIL IS A VERY ACHIEVEABLE GOAL.” In the second, he said, “Donald Trump, PLEASE FREE MY BROTHER PUFF.”
“Is he perhaps saying, ‘Hey, I'm next on the chopping block'?" asks Jason.
Maybe “he's putting this all out there so that he can blame and point a finger that ‘oh, it was a conspiracy against me and people were tired of my criticism of the Jews and so they locked me up. I'm persecuted just like Diddy,”’ he theorizes. “He may be trying to get out ahead of the news cycle.”
Given the sexual degeneracy we’ve already seen from Kanye, Jason says there’s a very real possibility that after living for so long with “no control over his sexual lust,” he’s fallen “into some sort of illegality.”

'It's called a humiliation ritual': Dave Landau ROASTS Grammys red carpet worst dressed
Celebrities are known for their insane political commentary and questionable fashion statements — but this year's Grammys took that to an entirely new level.
One of those celebrities was Lady Gaga, who during a speech stated that she was “sick of transphobia” and that “trans people are not invisible.”
“I actually find them to be the most visible,” Stu Burguiere tells comedian Dave Landau on “Stu Does America.” “Like, every time they walk, there’s bulges to describe. Like, you can see, we all can tell.”
“They’re also the most talked about and the ones that we have to bring up all the time,” Landau agrees, laughing. “There’s doctors that have actually made them so unseen while they’re being seen that guys are afraid to go up to people in bars after a certain number of drinks.”
But believe it or not, it gets worse.
“As someone who’s, I would say, an expert on looking at the culture and determining what the hell is going on, what the hell was going on with Kanye’s wife at the Grammys? Because I don’t know if you noticed, did you notice anything about her?” Stu asks, referring to Bianca Censori’s extremely inappropriate outfit.
Censori’s outfit was essentially not an outfit at all, as whatever clothing she was wearing was so thin and see-through that she appeared to be completely naked.
“I believe it’s called a humiliation ritual, it’s what they do. It’s in certain trafficking circles,” Landau says. “He’s at the Grammys, we’re letting this slide for some reason, but wasn’t he completely a Nazi a year ago?”
“Yes, is he still getting invites to stuff?” Stu asks, laughing.
“Apparently,” Landau says, adding, “‘cause he was a full-blown Nazi.”

Kamala Harris Doesn’t Care About White People
Hurricane Helene should be Harris’s Katrina moment, but it won’t be because the victims are white Trump supporters.Blaze News original: 6 rappers who have shown support for Donald Trump
In the entertainment industry, very few celebrities openly support conservatives. However, several prominent rappers have shown support for former President Donald Trump heading into the 2024 presidential election.
There has been no shortage of rappers who have been outspoken opponents of Trump since he became a Republican politician.
In 2017, Snoop Dogg released a music video for the song "Lavender," which featured him shooting a clown dressed as President Trump with a gag gun.
The cover for Snoop Dogg's album from the same year — "Make America Crip Again" — features a dead body at a morgue with a toe tag that reads "Trump."
Rapper Eminem unleashed a four-minute freestyle rap during the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards slamming Trump.
Eminem — whose real name is Marshall Mathers — attacked Trump in his 2017 song titled "The Ringer" and accused the then-president of being afraid to respond to his constant criticisms.
Kendrick Lamar called Trump a "chump" in his "The Heart Part 4" rap song released in 2017.
However, there is a growing number of hip-hop entertainers who are publicly endorsing Trump.
Some of the support is fueled by Trump’s policies on criminal justice reform and economic initiatives. Other rappers are spurred by the need to be counterculture disruptors.
In June, Joe Rogan noted that rappers were showing support for Trump after his guilty verdict for falsifying business records.
“So many rappers are showing support for Trump now, it’s crazy," said Rogan. "Because now, he’s got a felony. I mean, like, now they realize also he’s getting trapped by the system, just like everybody’s been rapping about being trapped by the system, this bulls**t system. And you watch it happen with him.”
This new alignment with a strong Republican politician is a stark contrast to hip-hop's historically strong ties to the Democratic Party.
From chart-topping hip-hop music artists to influential voices in the rap genre, these rappers are bucking the status quo.
Here is the best list of rappers who have shown support for Trump.
Lil Wayne
In the final hours of Trump's presidency, he pardoned 74 people and commuted the sentences of 70 others. Among the 144 people, Trump pardoned Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. – better known as rapper Lil Wayne.
“I want to thank President Trump for recognizing that I have so much more to give to my family, my art, and my community,” Lil Wayne said on the X social media platform a day after Joe Biden’s inauguration.
The Grammy-winning rapper was facing a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to illegally possessing a loaded weapon.
Lil Wayne praised Trump for his "Platinum Plan," which was aimed at creating economic opportunities for black Americans through a $500 billion investment.
In October 2020, Lil Wayne had a meeting with Trump.
"Besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the Platinum Plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done," Lil Wayne said.
Trump worked with rapper Ice Cube — whose real name is O'Shea Jackson Jr. — on the Platinum Plan.
Kodak Black
In 2019, rapper Kodak Black was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges regarding falsifying information on federal forms to buy four firearms from a Miami-area gun shop.
Besides pardoning Lil Wayne, Trump also commuted Kodak Black's 46-month federal prison sentence.
“I Want To Thank The President Donald Trump For His Commitment To Justice Reform And Shortening My Sentence. I Also Want To Thank Everyone For Their Support And Love,” Kodak Black wrote on social media in January 2021. "It Means More Than You Will Ever Know. I Want To Continue Giving Back, Learning And Growing."
In April, Kodak Black defended Trump after he was booked on criminal charges.
“I feel like these people on some other s**t,” the South Florida rapper said. “So they know like, they gonna try to get Trump out the way ’cause Trump a stand-up n****, he a real n****. He’ll let a b***h do anything. … Trump a real n****, man, a soldier.”
Kodak Black – whose real name is Bill K. Kapri – added, "Trump already had big baggage. Luggage. Y'all get off Trump, man."
Sexyy Red
In December 2018, then-President Trump signed the First Step Act into law. The First Step Act is a significant and sweeping criminal justice reform law.
The First Step Act is designed to improve and promote rehabilitation, lower recidivism, and reduce excessive sentences in the federal prison system
Rapper Sexyy Red praised Trump for passing the First Step Act and helping to provide stimulus checks to Americans during the pandemic.
“I like Trump,” Sexyy Red told comedian Theo Von on his "This Past Weekend" podcast in October 2023. “They support him in the hood. At first, I don't think people was f***ing with him. They thought he was racist, saying little s**t against women. Once he started getting black people out of jail and giving people that free money, aw baby, we love Trump. We need him back in office.”
The St. Louis rapper added, “I love Trump. He funny to me. I used to be watching him talking to people. He used to be calling people fat. He just bold. He funny. We need people like him.”
Sexyy Red has utilized the phrase "Make America Sexyy Again" as part of her branding — a take on Trump's "Make America Great Again."
Sexyy Red had two singles on Billboard's "Hot 100" chart.
Anuel AA
Music artist Anuel AA has been an unapologetic supporter of Donald Trump.
Puerto Rican musicians Anuel AA and Justin Quiles attended a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania in August.
Trump introduced the reggaetón stars as "musical legends."
Anuel told the crowd, "I’m from Puerto Rico, and since Trump hasn’t been around, it’s not a secret we’ve been going through a lot as a country. Biden always promised [and] promised — a lot of politicians promised through the years. All of us know … the best president the world has seen, this country has ever seen — his name is President Trump."
Anuel continued, "All my Puerto Ricans, let’s stay united. Let’s vote for Trump. I personally spoke with him, he wants to help Puerto Rico grow and succeed as a country. He wants to keep helping Latinos in the U.S. Let’s keep doing things the right way, and let’s make America great again."
Quiles added, "Mr. President, above all, I like you because, I’ve always said this, you’re not a puppet. I back you because I feel you’re the most honest president we ever had. A lot of Latinos, we stand strong next to President Trump. Thank you for sharing how important building Puerto Rico up again is, and not just Puerto Rico — let’s make America great again!"
Tom MacDonald
Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald has garnered popularity with several controversial and politically charged songs that champion conservative values.
MacDonald started his career as a professional wrestler before transitioning to music.
MacDonald's songs and lyrics frequently delve into themes such as cancel culture, being against wokeness, blasting political correctness, questioning social justice movements, criticizing the mainstream media, skewering attempts to stifle free speech, and advancing conservative viewpoints.
Some of his well-known tracks include "Fake Woke," "Snowflakes," "Brainwashed," "Cancelled," "No Lives Matter," "American Flags," "Sheeple," "The System," "New World Order," "In God We Trust," and "Facts" with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
Within 24 hours of the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, MacDonald released the song "You Missed." The song quickly reached #1 on iTunes.
MacDonald slams political extremism from the left in the lyrics: "They're burnin' the country down with their progressiveness / It started with changing what gender is / Then graduated to you're racist if you think / That your life matters and your skin don't have melanin / They don't want peace, they want skeletons / They want men to pretend that they're feminine / They don't want an election, they got so offended by freedom / That they just tried killin' the president."
Kanye West
Kanye West — now legally known as Ye — has been a fervent supporter of Trump in recent years.
West initially expressed support for Trump after the 2016 presidential election.
Ye told the crowd at a California concert in November 2016, “I told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.”
In 2018, Kanye made his iconic visit to the White House while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
“It was something about when I put this hat on that made me feel like Superman. You made a Superman — that’s my favorite superhero — you made a Superman cape,” West told reporters at the Oval Office at the time. “I think it’s the bravery that helps you beat this game called life. They tried to scare me into not wearing this hat — my own friends. This hat, it gives me power in a certain way.”
In November 2022, Ye had dinner with the former president at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
The two mavericks reportedly had a falling out during the Mar-a-Lago dinner when Ye asked Trump to be his vice president.
“I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about, me asking him to be my vice president,” Ye said in a video posted to the X social media platform. “I think that was like lower on the list of things that caught him off guard.”
Kanye continued, “When Trump started basically screaming at me at the table, telling me I was going to lose — I mean, has that ever worked for anyone in history? I’m like hold on, hold on, hold on, Trump, you’re talking to Ye.”
However, Kanye said in February that he is still a Trump supporter.
“Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day,” Ye stated. “What you talking about? You know what it is.”
Trump recently said Kanye is "very complicated" but has a "good heart."
“He’s very complicated,” Trump said of West during a livestream hosted by streamer Adin Ross. “Let’s say complicated because he is. He’s a really nice guy, but he can get some people into trouble. And he can get some other people. He’s got a good heart — he does, he does, but he’s complicated.”

Did Kim Kardashian take 'the biggest Ls' at Tom Brady Roast?
While the Tom Brady roast had some great Tom Brady jokes, it seemed to have even more jokes focused on one of the celebrities in attendance.
That celebrity was Kim Kardashian, who, according to Lauren Chen, took “the biggest Ls of the evening.”
“When Kim took the stage to deliver her roast of Brady, she got booed so badly that they actually had to try to get the audience to stop,” Chen says.
When Tony Hinchcliffe took the stage, he spent a bit of his roast “absolutely demolishing Kim Kardashian.”
Hinchcliffe noted that Will Ferrell was in attendance, whose famous movie character Ron Burgundy used the term “whale's vagina” in “Anchorman.”
“Whale's vagina,” Hinchcliffe said, “which reminds me, Kim Kardashian’s here, she’s had a lot of black men celebrate in her end zone. Kim, word of advice, close your legs. You have more public beef than Kendrick and Drake.”
“So, clearly, Kim was a popular punching bag that evening. But with that said, she seemed to take the jokes, at least you know publicly from what we saw, with the right spirit,” Chen says.
Even Tom Brady took some shots at Kardashian, saying, “I know Kim was terrified to be here tonight, not because of this but because her kids are home with their dad.”
