West, 47, being dropped by his agency comes days after he posted\u00a0a slur-ridden rant on X<\/a>\u00a0on Thursday, Feb. 6, and over a week after his\u00a0unexpected appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The disgraced rapper praised Adolf Hitler and defended\u00a0Sean “Diddy” Combs<\/a>, who is currently in jail\u00a0awaiting trial in May for several federal sex crimes<\/a>. (After being indicted in September for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty and has been denied bail three times).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

West also mentioned X owner Elon Musk’s\u00a0one-armed salute that he gave at Donald Trump’s inauguration<\/a>\u00a0(which Musk responded to, saying “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired”).<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in his hateful rant, West called antisemitism “just some bulls— Jewish people made up” and said that he was “never apologizing for my Jewish comments.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On Monday, Feb. 10,\u00a0Variety<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>reported that West’s\u00a0X account had been deactivated<\/a>. The defunct profile page reads: “This account doesn\u2019t exist.” It is unclear whether West was removed from the social media platform or if he deactivated his own account.<\/p>\n
