Rapper Kanye West has added comedian Dave Chappelle to his growing list of targets in an ongoing Twitter tirade. According to HotNewHipHop, West accused Chappelle of making jokes at his expense and labeled him a “pawn” in a series of inflammatory tweets on February 8.
West’s posts suggested he was angered by Chappelle’s past remarks, particularly those related to his personal life and wife, Bianca Censori. He claimed that the comedian had downplayed his struggles and criticized his humor regarding sensitive issues, including the trans community. Additionally, he referenced his Sunday Service performances in Chappelle’s hometown, implying that his goodwill efforts were not reciprocated.

West’s frustration may have been fueled by past incidents, including a viral Reddit post from April 2024 that detailed Chappelle’s jokes about him during a stand-up performance. The post alleged that Chappelle made multiple jokes about West throughout his set and recounted an awkward dinner with the rapper and Censori. According to the Reddit user, Chappelle described the dinner as uncomfortable and made remarks about Censori’s revealing outfit.
Chappelle has not publicly responded to West’s latest claims, but given their longstanding relationship, speculation has arisen over whether he will address the situation. Despite past tensions, the two have reconciled on multiple occasions, raising questions about whether this feud will escalate or eventually subside.
Beyond his criticism of Chappelle, West’s recent Twitter activity has drawn broader controversy. His ongoing social media presence, marked by provocative statements and grievances, continues to generate debate over his intentions and the impact of his remarks.
Whether Chappelle will respond remains to be seen, but West’s latest tirade adds another layer to his increasingly controversial social media presence.
