Kanye West splits Internet as he praises Trump and seemingly trolls Kamala Harris on his return to X

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, appeared to be in a delightful mood following the announcement that he is once again among the wealthiest men in hip-hop.

The hip-hop mogul returned to X (formerly Twitter) to pay respect to President Donald Trump, while trolling the former presidential candidate, Kamala Harris.

Ye tweeted, "Trumps back in office. Ye's back a billionaire. The world might just be ok." Following the tweet, Ye switched to a photo of Kamala Harris as his profile picture but later removed the image, per HotNewHipHop News.

Kanye West celebrates billionaire status, honors Donald Trump, Grammys, trolls Kamala Harris

According to reports, Ye has surpassed JAY-Z as the most wealthy rapper alive and regained his position among hip-hop's billionaire elite. The fashion tycoon and renowned artist celebrated his alleged $2.77 billion net worth on Instagram on January 23.

He seemed to be enjoying his financial comeback as he captioned the photo with the words "LAA LA LA LA" and credited to the valuation firm Eton Venture Services for the amount.

Eton claimed that Ye's large music library and complete possession of the Yeezy trademark are the reasons behind his comeback.

Ye would give credit to the Grammys as well on X. The Yeezy founder expressed his gratitude for the nomination of his most recent single, 'Carnival', from the second volume of his new 'Vultures' series, in a different tweet.

"Thank you to the Grammies for nominating Carnival," he wrote on X.

Moreover, Ye also seemed to take aim at the former Vice President while expressing sadness for her children: "Kamala seems like a very nice human I just wanna say sorry to her kids."

Ye went on to praise Trump in subsequent tweets as he wrote, "The democrats made me take the loser post down. Naw I’m kidding. Dey don’t control black people no more. Trump 4 life."

Ye lost his billionaire status in 2022 after Adidas severed their relationship with him due to his antisemitic comments, ending their profitable Yeezy collaboration.

The partnership was estimated by Forbes at the time to have contributed $1.5 billion of his $2 billion fortune.

His estimated worth fell to $400 million due to the split. In an interview with TMZ in 2024, Ye said that the financial setback almost put him out of business.

"I was two months from going bankrupt, really… And we survived. We survived through the cancellation," he said at the time.
