Kanye is a Jackass
Thirteen years ago, former President Obama called Kanye West a Jackass. In a commentary last week, I delineated the many ways Kanye proceeded to prove Obama right.
Now Kanye’s new BFF Candace Owens is using him to prove the age-old adage that a fool and his money are soon parted.
Kanye West is going into business with conservative commentator Candace Owens’ CEO husband as the rapper enters into a deal to buy the ‘free speech platform’ Parler after he was kicked off Twitter for anti-Semitic posts.
Parler CEO George Farmer … claimed the rapper was a ‘victim’ of cancelation, but held back on actually defending the controversial tweet, instead saying it’s all ‘up for conversation.’
(The Daily Mail, October 17, 2022)
You might wonder why Farmer is selling. Well, it might be because racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and other types of lunatic rantings lose both their shock and commercial value when restricted to an echo chamber.
Kanye, a Jackass and a mark?
Has Owens been sucking up to Kanye so much lately only to groom him for this sale? It sure seems so. But she’s just as pathetic for allowing her husband to pimp her out to seduce Kanye into buying this lemon of a social media app.
Of course, the way he insanely bullied Pete Davidson laid bare Kanye’s vulnerability. He has been suffering a terminal mental breakdown ever since Kim dumped him. So it’s hardly surprising that he fell for this Parler honey trap – hook, line, and sinker. Sick! Sad!
