March 31, 2025: Kanye West has once again stirred controversy, this time defending a recent social media post about Jay-Z’s children. In an interview, West addressed the backlash surrounding his comments about the twins, Rumi and Sir, Jay-Z and Beyonce’s 7-year-old children, which many deemed insensitive and inappropriate.
According to TMZ, West claimed that his social media platform was his space to express his raw, unfiltered thoughts without facing immediate censorship. When asked if the post about Jay-Z’s kids was one of his worst, the rapper interrupted, suggesting that it might have actually been one of his “best or strongest” posts instead.
The post in question sparked widespread outrage after West made remarks about the twins, drawing criticism from fans and the public alike. In response, Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, seemed to take a jab at West, posting a video on Instagram that read, “…it’s hard to remain positive and classy in the face of ignorance and evil,” which many believed was aimed at the rapper’s comments.
This controversy adds to the growing list of incidents tied to West’s social media activity, with many of his recent posts containing antisemitic rhetoric that has led to public backlash and professional consequences. Despite the criticism, West has shown little inclination to retract or apologize for his statements, even when they target former collaborators like Jay-Z.
As West continues to make headlines for his outspoken and often polarizing behavior, the public remains divided on whether his actions are a reflection of artistic freedom or a step too far in his controversial career.
