Kanye West fans think that something big could be on the way, as he recently reactivated his Twitter following a contentious relationship with the social media platform. You likely remember the barrage of tweets that have landed him in hot water over the past decade or so, most notably his blatant antisemitism and his revelations about the Kim Kardashian divorce, among many others. Well, Ye finally made his first tweet since coming back, and for now, it’s nothing too wild. He simply prompted fans to go to the Yeezy website to buy his new merch drop, although that comes with its own controversy.
For those unaware, Kanye West recently caught a lot of flack for including alleged Nazi symbolism as part of this new Yeezy merch drop. While this is far from the first time that he’s used his clothing and designs to provoke and outrage, this might be the most egregious and less self-aware example of that, surrounded by pure combativeness. So yes, this first tweet is nothing to write home about and things are at least pretty civil at the moment. But even a merch promo can carry its own controversial baggage.

With all that in mind, we have no idea what to expect from Kanye West’s Twitter or his moves in general in the near future. All we can hope for is that, at some point down the line, he stops co-opting his controversies and bigoted remarks for the sake of attention. In addition, this follows some other bizarre social media activity from the Chicago artist, as he recently puzzled fans with a vague message on his Instagram Story.
“Come on, man. You know that s**t is hosed down. You know that s**t mopped, s**t scrubbed,” Kanye West remarked in his social media post. Regardless of what comes next, he has many more controversies to handle, whether that’s on Twitter or anywhere else. With a new album supposedly on the way and absolutely no word on the last planned VULTURES collab album with Ty Dolla $ign, fans are pretty in the dark. Let’s see if Ye follows up on this comeback tweet with more information or with more firestorms.
