A listed moderator of Kanye West’s biggest Reddit forum says the page has become a “bloodbath” following the rapper’s antisemitic comments.
During a 15 October appearance on the Drink Champs podcast, West, who legally changed his name to Ye, blamed “Jewish media” and “Jewish Zionists” for numerous alleged wrongdoings, saying that “Jewish people have owned the Black voice” and that “the Jewish community, especially in the music industry… they’ll take us and milk us till we die”.
The 45-year-old rapper also sparked controversy by claiming that George Floyd died from the drug fentanyl and that a police officer’s knee “wasn’t even on his neck like that”.
Due to Ye’s comments, a Reddit page called r/Kanye, which has over 700,000 followers, has been a constant source of interaction between the rapper’s fans.

It turns out it's pretty bleak growing up in the countryside. If you're not driving yourself into oblivion on drugs or struggling with money problems, you're probably going to end up dead. Well, that's what we've taken away from 8 episodes of E4 drama Glue, anyway.
The murder mystery, touted as Skins meets Broadchurch, failed to tweak viewers' imaginations over the past two months (only 187k tuned in for last night's finale), and responses online seemed much frostier than the critical hype that came before the show aired.
Maybe it was all just too dark and the characters were too unloveable - at least at the very beginning - for it to build up any sort of following. From the cocksure Rob (Rizzle Kicks's Jordan) to the insular Tina Fallon (Charlotte Spencer), the show was perhaps missing an emotional core, someone you could root for.
