It is becoming harder and harder to see the funny side/defend Kanye West as he goes on his obscene rants and desperate grabs for attention.

Now, he has tried to snatch the limelight once again with another tweet. This time, to add to his recent spate of bigoted posts, Kanye West has lashed out at Taylor Swift and her Super Bowl appearance.
Finding any reason to try and stay relevant, West has recently peppered the X social media platform with vitriol. In what he has called an 'experiment' he has been posting racist, misogynistic, and hate-filled statements to the internet. Of course, with Elon at the helm, this is all above board. Unsurprisingly, the attention grab worked.
As a last goodbye to X, before he deleted his account, Kanye took a jab at his long-time punching bag, Taylor Swift. He was, of course, known for initially snubbing her at the 2009 MTV Awards. The infamous, 'Imma let you finish' line was the first time he openly stood on her toes.
However, this time Kanye attacked Swift for singing along with Kendrick Lamars half time song. The lyrics for 'Not Like Us' as well as being a devastating Drake diss track, are about race and cultural appropriation. Along with the rest of the stadium, Taylor Swift sang along.
Kanye Asks Why Swift Can Be Seen Singing?
The half time Super Bowl footage, which was always going to feature pop sensation Swift, showed her singing the lyrics to 'Not Like Us.' She was hardly alone. The song has become one of the biggest of the year, much to Drake's misfortune.
So, Kanye, trying desperately to get people to pay him attention again, attacked Taylor Swift via a tweet. "IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE ... WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE."
Deciding that he wasn't already appearing desperate enough for hype, he attacked Kendrick too. "KENDRICK IS BEING USED BY THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWS AND SO AM I," he tweeted before deleting his account.
Kanye, a man who has made multiple astute albums in the past, is revealing himself to be rather dense. His recent lashing out at various groups has shown him to be nothing more than an unintelligent contrarian. Rather than posting something intelligent, inciteful, or thought-provoking, he tries to reignite his fading limelight by being an offensive moron.
Kanye has attacked Kendric Lamar and Taylor Swift in a last-ditch attempt to draw some of their attention to himself. It's very embarrassing. He should be treated like a naughty child, and be sat in a corner somewhere.
