“Self-immolation”, profanity and jokes about the death of the queen: 9 times Kanye West shocked with his crazy escapades

These moments in the rapper’s biography shocked everyone.

Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death in the UK, the rapper wrote on social media, “London, I know how you feel. I lost my queen too.”

So he alluded to his rocky divorce from Kim Kardashian, but that post can hardly be considered appropriate.

During the Donda album launch concert, West set himself on fire on stage. Sure, the star was wearing protective gear and the fire was quickly put out, but that didn’t stop fans from wondering what made Kanye do it. It seems like a rapper would make a good performance artist.

Everyone thought Kanye had really gone crazy when he released the music video for his song Eazy. Not only does it poke fun at Pete Davidson, who Kim Kardashian later had an affair with, in the text, but the visual effects made the clip look like a real horror movie.

In the animated video, Kanye’s character “buried” Pete Davidson after kidnapping him and putting a bag over his head.

During a concert in Sydney, Kanye called on his fans to get up from their seats. Everyone had to follow the star’s order, even the guy in the wheelchair, who physically couldn’t meet the rapper’s demands. Kanye wasn’t happy about this at all and said he wouldn’t sing until everyone was on their feet. This was followed by a long wait, and then the rapper also complained that he had to take such a break. The crowd screamed. In the end, Kanye said there was nothing wrong with this fan not getting up from his seat.

West wasn’t ashamed to reveal his personal finances, even when his bank account was in bad shape. After admitting he was $53 million in debt, Kanye announced he needed the cash to invest in his creative endeavors. And then I found a suitable investor for myself. The rapper publicly approached Mark Zuckerberg asking him to give him $1 billion.

Many stars use stage names, but West went a step further and officially changed his name to Ye. In October 2021, the court allowed the rapper to be called that. The singer explained his decision by personal reasons and also made reference to the Bible.

It was a real shock to everyone when a black Kanye supported the White Lives Matter movement, created as a counterweight to the Black Lives Matter movement. During the show of his brand in Paris, the rapper also appeared in the company of the famous conservative activist Candice Owens.

Last fall was generally outrageous for the rapper. He made shocking confessions as expected. Support for the theory of white superiority was not enough for him – Kanye insulted Jews and admitted that he saw good things in Hitler. After that, many celebrities, including his ex-wife Kim, criticized the rapper, and a number of fashion brands broke off their cooperation with him.

The rapper took to the stage to protest Taylor Swift winning Best Female Video for You Belong With Me. Kanye thought the win should have gone to Beyoncé and her Single Ladies video, which he publicly declared. Young Taylor’s moment of triumph (she was only 19 at the time) was irretrievably ruined. The singer then confided that at first she was delighted to see the rapper on stage with her, but then she felt offended and offended by this act.
