Kanye West has issued another strange proclamation, this time via a social media-shared voice note.
The rapper/producer/designer took to his Instagram story early on Saturday (December 28) to share a short audio recording of what appeared to be his own voice.
“Come on, man. You know that shit is hosed down,” he said. “You know that shit mopped. Shit scrubbed.”
Ye didn’t provide any further context. Check the mysterious message out below.

West got pushback over the holiday season for appearing to include hidden Nazi symbols in his latest line of Yeezy clothing.
The rapper and fashion designer launched the range of clothing on Thursday (December 26) and it includes a variety of T-shirts, hoodies and jackets, among other items — all available for $20 each.
The clothes feature various logos including one which resembles the Wolfsangel, a symbol closely associated with Nazi Germany, as it was worn by various SS (Schutzstaffel) units during the Second World War.
Today, the symbol is associated with neo-Nazis and is used by the Aryan Nations white supremacist gang as their logo.
The move sparked backlash on social media, with one user writing: “Nazi symbols again I’m so fucking done.”
Another said: “This the most blatant Nazi shit Yeezy has ever released and y’all are choosing to not see it!”
Even the Kanye fan account @yedefender took issue with the clothing, writing on Instagram: “deactivating this page or gonna give it a new admin I’m done. KANYE IS USING YALL TO TO REPRESENT HIS NAZI BELIEFS.”
Neither Kanye nor Yeezy have yet to offer any comment on the use of the symbol.
Kanye West has a history of incorporating Nazism into his wardrobe.
Earlier this year, he raised eyebrows by wearing a shirt featuring an image of Varg Vikernes of the Norwegian death-metal band Burzum.
Vikernes is a noted neo-Nazi and in 2014 was found guilty of “inciting racial hatred” by sympathizing with Anders Behring Breivik’s neo-Nazi terrorist attacks, which he claimed were part of a “Jewish conspiracy.”
Ye has also gone on record in recent years about his love for Adolf Hitler, reportedly professing his admiration of the notorious Nazi leader during his ill-fated visit to TMZ in 2018.

If Eminem ever shared a mysterious voice message, it would be just him burping and making fart noises on the mic. Then again, that wouldn’t be mysterious in any way since that’s all he ever does. Oh, and oh so funny childish accents too. And raps about pee and poop like he’s not 60yrs old.
