Kanye West, now known as Ye, has reactivated his X (formerly Twitter) account this week amidst controversy surrounding his latest Yeezy merchandise. 

The new drop has sparked backlash due to alleged Nazi-inspired designs, coinciding with his return to the social media platform. Ye, 47, deactivated his X account in March 2024 and currently has over 31 million followers on X. 


Ye’s return to the platform has raised concerns, as fans remain cautious about what to expect from the Chicago artist, given his history of controversies. Many fans are uncertain about Ye's current mindset, but past behavior suggests potential volatility. 


Recently, footage from a 2020 lawsuit deposition surfaced, showing Ye's standoffish and unruly conduct, though it did not reach the extremes seen during his more notorious moments.
