Sun Feb 23 02:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Kanye West Expresses Envy of Steve Bannon’s Nazi Salute, Days After Denying Being a Nazi
**NEW YORK** – Less than 48 hours after declaring he is “not a Nazi,” Kanye West (now legally known as Ye) sparked fresh outrage by tweeting his envy of Steve Bannon’s Nazi salute at CPAC. Early Friday morning, Ye shared a video of Bannon performing the gesture, captioning it, “Whits [sic] guys have all the fun.”
The controversial rapper’s comment follows a week of escalating antisemitic, misogynistic, homophobic, and racist remarks on X (formerly Twitter). This includes a bizarre Super Bowl commercial featuring swastika-emblazoned shirts and previous statements praising Adolf Hitler. Earlier this week, Ye had attempted to distance himself from Nazi ideology, but his latest tweet undermines this claim.
This latest incident comes after Ye’s Grammy appearance with his wife, Bianca Censori, in a sheer dress, and subsequent claims of “dominion” over her and that slavery was “a choice.” Reports of a divorce have been denied by a representative for the couple.
The string of controversial statements and actions continues to draw widespread condemnation.
