Kanye West's Wildest Tweets of the Day
04/26/2018 01:20 am EDT
Media Criticism
One of the things that started West's day of tweets was his distaste for several recent media reports about his mental health.
Among West's targets were TMZ and PEOPLE, who both recently published stories he and the Kardashian family claim are total lies.
The Sunken Place
West also tackled a recurring online joke about how he is in "The Sunken Place." This is a reference to the 2017 horror film Get Out, in which the white antagonists trap black men in a mental void to control them.
The joke online is that this happened when West married Kim Kardashian, and he shot back with a photo of the family's elaborate home.
High Hopes for Yeezy
The "Stronger" rapper trumping up his apparel brand, Yeezy, is not a new concept.
However, he made a bold claim on Wednesday, saying it "will become the biggest apparel company in human history."
Comparisons to Icons
His bold claims continued, as he compared himself to American icons such as Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, Steve Jobs and Walt Disney.
This is a claim he has often said at his concerts and in interview, but he felt he had to reiterate it.
Michael Jordan
West also challenged a titan in the apparel and sports world: Michael Jordan.
The rapper claimed he is paid more for his footwear designs than Jordan is for his licensing deal with Nike.
Love for Trump
West also began tweeting his support for President Donald Trump, which turned many heads.
He called Trump "his brother" despite not agreeing with all his policies.
MAGA Hat
The "Power" rapper, who is set to release a new album in June, continued showing his Trump love in the form of a "Make America Great Again" hat from Trump's campaign.
Peter Thiel
West continued with his controversial streak with a tweet about Peter Thiel, the controversial conservative PayPal founder. Apparently Thiel wants to meet with West for undisclosed reasons.
Ping Pong
Out of all these controversial tweets, one stood out as one of the most unexpected and random.
In the midst of his thoughts on creativity, the fashion business and politics, he took on an unexpected topic: ping pong.
