And again the rapper Kanye West is back in the headlines. For the past few months, due to his social media bans and other controversies, the rapper had been the highlight of the day. But he, unfortunately, took a 30-day silent mode break in November. Yet the artist is back with all his vigor and enthusiasm.
Back in front of the media, the artist had already started making disturbing comments and viewpoints. From his love for Hitler and his ventures to the symbol that he posted on Twitter, there’s a lot that had happened. The post has been since then removed from the platform as it violated the rules. But this has sparked debates. Here’s why.

What Does The Symbol Posted By Kanye West Really Mean?
The symbol posted by Kanye on his Twitter account is totally different from what it is perceived to be. The star-shaped logo represents a UFO religion, that was founded by former French journalist and pop star Claude Varilhon. He was also known as Rael and his religion came to be called Raelism.
The religion believes that human beings were sent to Earth as experiments by aliens with advanced technologies. The believers consider Elohim to be the name of these extra-terrestrial species. Elohim, mistakenly came to be the gods in history, according to the Raelism followers.
Raelism was founded in 1974 and has had a number of active members since then. They believe the human race is formed from 40 human hybrids which include Prophet, Buddha, and Jesus. They have garnered attention due to their way of positively responding to women and LGBTQ rights and against nuclear testing.

Antisemitic Comments Made By The Rapper
The ‘Donda’ rapper gave an interview to Alex Jones in his show ‘InfoWars’ along with another guest Nick Fuentes two days ago. The artist started with the statement “I love everyone”. And then went on to say that no one can decide who he should love or not. Through the show, West continued to praise Hitler and the Nazi party. “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world,” the singer said.
Even when the interviewer reminded him that Nazis had done bad things, West stayed strong on his comment. He said that “they had done good things too.” The singer also listed out the inventions of the Nazi leader. Starting from early October, in a short span of time, Kanye West has gone on to become the face of antisemitism and white supremism.
