The last tweet on Ye’s Twitter account is from October 9.
It states: “Iranian youth are leading a revolution against 44 years of dictatorship. The world needs to support them and honor their courage.”
On the same day, he tweeted: “Who you think created cancel culture?”
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has just been dropped by Adidas over more anti-Semitic comments he made on the October 16, 2022, episode of Drink Champs, which is a hip-hop community podcast hosted by N.O.R.E and DJ EFN.
