    Kanye West’s Wheels Fall Off

    On a probably unmedicated rant on Xitter (pronounced sh*tter), Kanye West goes completely off the rails and crashes out while also releasing a new song during a video of a studio session called “Wheels Fall Off.” The caption for the song states it features Ye, but it does not say whose song it is, though P. Diddy is prominently featured on the track, including a Puff verse from the song “Victory” from 1997. It is an up-tempo club song, which also features a verse by West, where he talks about his finances and his wife’s nakedness.

    At 3:42 of the video, he yells in the song, “This is for Puff Daddy,” The song also features a speech by his son, Christian Combs, who has been implicated in his father’s nefarious dealings. Less than an hour before he posted the video, he xweeted, “PUFF WE LOVE YOU.” At the beginning of his over half-day rant, he also released pictures of a clothing collaboration with Sean Jean clothing. 

    Ty Dolla $ign just previewed a new track, “Wheels Fall Off”, featuring Kanye West for his upcoming album “T Y C O O N,” and it sounds like it’s going to be massive.

    What are your thoughts?

    During his rant, Kanye posted several xweets in solidarity with the now incarcerated Combs, who the audience doesn’t need to be reminded has been accused of being a rapist by over 100 people.

    As of noon EST, February 7, 2025, Kanye West has xweeted non-stop, every hour for 14 hours, and over 100 times, not including responses. Many of his posts are so out of pocket that it takes a minute to grapple with the audacity in which he operates, as he literally praises Hitler in several of them. On professional thief Justin Laboy’s podcast, West stated that his wife took him to a doctor who told him that he was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder but rather had autism. I’m not sure what part of the spectrum would make someone praise Hitler and literally xweet, “I AM A NAZI,” and “I LOVE HITLER” (one which got over 100k likes)—especially someone Hitler would murder without a second thought. 

    During his rant, he praised his white wife but also posted, “ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST;” this is surely not the work of a logician. To make matters worse, West’s rant includes him boasting about turning down autographs for three children in wheelchairs and everyone being broke in comparison to him, with a specific disdain for broke n*ggas.

    Now, there will always be fans of Kanye, but I cannot imagine putting money in the hands of someone who called me broke on purpose and even compared himself to being “GOD ON EARTH.” Another cubic zirconium Kayne dropped was about his ire at seeing “woke fat b*tches.” Kanye may not have ever been a woke fat b*tch, but he has been all three singularly in the many versions of lives he has lived in the same body.

    West has a new album dropping this year, aptly called Bully, which could explain his thirst for attention.

    Less than a week ago, West and his current wife, Bianca Censori, appeared on the Grammy’s red carpet, where she took off her fur coat, shamelessly revealing a see-through dress. There had been some social media chit-chat on whether Censori was held against her will and/or made to showcase her near-naked body by West. During his rant, Kanye cleared up any confusion by stating that he has “DOMINION” over his wife, and while he does not force her to wear anything she does not want to, she also does not wear anything of which he disapproves. He gave no indication of what could spark his disapproval beyond nudity. In the same xweet, he goes on to mention that he lacks empathy for “any one [sic] living” because “no one living can f*ck with” him.

    Kanye, like many Black capitalists, thinks that he has purchased himself out of racism—you know, because slavery is a choice. The question remains: if he is untouched by racism, then why is he still bothered by it? If it is not an issue for him, then why is it an issue for him? West once proudly and purposely wore a shirt saying, “White Lives Matter,” but then has the temerity to complain about racism… while praising Nazism. It’s all too much and just not enough at the same time.

    The old Kanye would write diss records about the new Kanye.

    Donda would be utterly embarrassed that her son used his talent to praise a man who raped children, ‘allegedly,’ and one who killed children, and just like George Bush, hates broke n*ggas.
