Kanye West wants your attention— any attention. The rapper/producer has been on a downward spiral with a series of controversial actions including showing up at the 2025 Grammys with his naked wife Bianca Censori to long X rants filled with hate, racism, sexism and antisemitism. The Yeezy designer is even selling a t-shirt with a swastika.

Music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy discusses Kanye's behavior as his most recent—and desperate—attempts at relevance. In the era of Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Kendrick Lamar taking all of the headlines and publicity, Kanye is begging for anyone to talk about him.

The best way to make him stop? Denounce and ignore him.
