AceShowbiz - Just days after dramatically signing off from his X account following his latest rant, Kanye West is now active again on social media. The rapper, 47, took to Elon Musk's platform to share story behind his brief yet shocking appearance at the Grammy Awards.
He called out the Recording Academy, claiming they refused to give him and his wife, Bianca Censori, tickets to the Grammys. "How could the Grammies nominate me then not give me tickets and then people mad when I go off," he wrote in a now-deleted post.
"I had to fight for 5 hours and call everyone I knew to get tickets to the Grammies. They eventually gave me tickets but only for the red carpet. At that point I hadn't started the rampage," he continued.
Kanye West was nominated for Best Rap Song for his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign on "Carnival" but ultimately lost the award to Kendrick Lamar for "Not Like Us."
Despite walking away empty-handed, the 24-time Grammy winner managed to upstage everyone at the event with a daring stunt involving his wife.
Bianca Censori, 30, dropped her coat to reveal a sheer dress with nothing underneath, sparking a whirlwind of reactions from photographers and bystanders who gasped in surprise. The couple posed for a few photos before swiftly leaving in a waiting vehicle.
Rumors swirled that they were kicked out by organizers, but Kanye refuted these claims. He said he and his wife left on their own accord before later sharing a series of posts on both Instagram and Twitter to defend his wife's "invisible" dress.
The defensive posts then escalated into a full-blown rant targeting Jewish people, criticizing Kendrick Lamar, declaring his love for Nazi and Hitler, proclaiming his "dominion" over his wife, and defending P. Diddy.
Kanye's online rampage lasted for days with no action taken against him by the X owner Elon Musk. As calls for his ban got louder, the Tesla billionaire eventually relented and decided to restrict his account with an "NSFW" label. This move finally put an end to his outburst and led to his exit from the platform.
