Kanye West has come under fire for making yet more insensitive comments Cassie‘s sexual assault allegations against Diddy.
In yet another string of inflammatory social media posts late Thursday (February 20), Ye appeared to cast doubt on the singer’s lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend and suggest that it was extortion.
“Did Cassie extort Puff?” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
The lawsuit, which was filed in November 2023 and settled the following day, accused the Bad Boy boss of sexually and physically abusing Cassie during their decade-long relationship.
While Diddy initially denied the allegations, footage emerged months later of him brutally attacking the “Me & U” hitmaker in a hotel in 2016, lending credence to her claims.
The mogul subsequently apologized for his actions and said he was “disgusted” by his behavior.
Kanye West was widely criticized for his comment, with one user sternly replying: “Don’t release whatever music you’re gonna release.”
Another disappointed fan said: “Crazy to think this n-gga made My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the single best album I ever heard in any genre of music……now cuz mind is completely gone.”
A third person simply told him: “Delete this bruh.”
The Chicago native sparked similar outrage earlier this month when he declared his support for Diddy and attempted to justify his attack on Cassie.
After calling for the disgraced record executive, who is awaiting trial on various sex charges, to be released from jail, Ye claimed that his 2016 assault was merely an act of “true love.”
“When [a] man truly loves a [woman] he may express it in rage. I empathize with both sides,” he wrote on X, before adding: “You have to truly be in love to get to the point of risking everything.”
The controversial rapper and fashion designer also asked his over 30 million followers: “HEY QUESTION. IF SOMEONE WAS TO BEAT UP THEIR GIRL IN PUBLIC WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR IS IT JUST PUBLIC INDECENCY.”
West later began selling the same hoodie that Cassie wore during the shocking incident and bragged about making over $30,000 in revenue — a move that led to him being called “evil” by social media users.
She did though she did it twice against him. He’s not innocent but neither is she. Cassie and Jennifer Lopez were his accomplices. She took money from him twice this isn’t the first case she had against him and dropped and then she went back to him that’s where people think it’s weird. Ye speaks fact but y’all don’t like hearing it.
But if that was your daughter/sister/mother you would not be cool with them getting beat on just for money. If you asked me to give you money for a sandwich is it ok for me to punch you in the face?
What?! Bro she took the money as payment from him you sound stupid. She knew about all this and stays quiet just for money! She’s as guilty as him!! Other people have spoken but their word is thrown to the side! Ye is right why are only the low level black men thrown in jail for helping their masters? Meanwhile Clive Davis is still doing what he does look at Tyla!
Kanye has the mentality of a child with special needs who’s desperate for attention. It takes a special kind of simp to listen to anything he says
Shut up idiot. Man is accurate while you’re here hating!
Stop simping, Stan.
I actually agree with Ye on this one. That girl wanted fame, money the lifestyle that comes with it and did whatever it took to get it.
