Kanye West generated a lot of controversy in recent years with his exit from the public scene, especially after a series of controversial statements and erratic behaviors. In 2020, he announced his candidacy for the U.S. presidency, which was widely seen as an erratic move. In 2021, his separation from Kim Kardashian caught the media's attention, but it was in 2022 that the situation escalated further with his antisemitic remarks in interviews and on social media. These statements led to significant losses, such as the end of partnerships with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga.
The growing polarization surrounding Kanye West led to the suspension of his social media accounts, and many began questioning his mental health and the responsibility of platforms in allowing hate speech. While he attempted to redeem himself at times, the intensity of the controversy caused him to step further out of the spotlight, maintaining a low profile, but with signs of a possible return to the media, always surrounded by criticism and support from different sectors.
His exit, therefore, is marked by the fusion of mental health issues, freedom of speech, and the consequences of his public behavior. As of 2024 and 2025, Kanye West remains largely out of the spotlight, but some recent events and behaviors have sparked discussions. He has continued to make sporadic public appearances, some of them related to his involvement in the fashion industry and his personal business ventures. Additionally, Kanye has been trying to rebuild his image after the fallout from the controversies, and there are rumors about potential projects related to music and fashion, though his media presence remains limited. In terms of social media, his accounts are still suspended due to comments made in 2022. He has also not made any substantial public statements or given recent interviews, which contributes to the mystery surrounding his future in the public eye.
