Kanye West is back in the spotlight, and he’s making sure everyone knows it. The 47-year-old rapper, known for his controversial statements and high-profile feuds, returned to social media on with a series of rapid-fire posts on X (formerly Twitter).
In his signature unfiltered style, Kanye bragged about his net worth, praised former President Donald Trump, and seemingly taunted Taylor Swift.
Kanye claimed that his net worth will skyrocket to $2.77 billion by 2025, despite losing hundreds of millions in 2022 after his antisemitic comments led to severed ties with major brands like Adidas and Gap. “Trumps back in office. Ye’s back a billionaire. The world might just be ok,” he wrote in one of his first posts.

The rapper didn’t stop there. He continued to flaunt his wealth, writing, “D-mn. Just warming up. I’m rich. I can say whatever the f-ck I want. I do this for the broke me. Shout out to broke me this ones for you.”
Damn. Just warming up. I’m rich. I can say whatever the fuck I want. I do this for the broke me. Shout out to broke me this ones for you.

Kanye also took a jab at the Democratic party, declaring, “Trump 4 life.” Reflecting on his early support for Donald Trump, he added, “I risked my life to wear a red hat then he turned it black .”

In a subtle nod to his long-standing feud with Taylor Swift, Kanye shared that she is the only person he currently follows on Instagram.
The two have been embroiled in a public rivalry since their infamous 2009 VMAs incident, which escalated in 2016 when Kanye referenced Swift in his song 'Famous'.
Despite his past support for Trump, the two have had their share of public spats. In 2022, Trump referred to Kanye as a “seriously troubled man,” to which Kanye responded by calling the former president a “known liar.”
Kanye’s social media comeback has left fans and critics buzzing, with many speculating about the motivation behind his posts. Whether it’s a calculated move or just another day in the life of Ye, one thing is certain: Kanye West knows how to keep the world talking.
