I am loath to comment on the antics and rantings of a mentally disturbed man. But when that man commands as much media attention as Kanye West does, it would be malpractice for any social critic to fail to comment.
Well, that was my justification for previous commentaries like “President Obama Is Right, Kanye Is a ‘Jackass’,” September 16, 2009, and “Kanye for President? Don’t Be a Sucker … Again!” July 5, 2020. And I’m sticking to it.
Kanye West’s bizarre behavior might be at a new low — he’s allegedly telling friends Pete Davidson’s suffering with AIDS, and while the false rumor’s gotten back to Pete … people close to Ye are denying it.
Sources close to Davidson confirm what DJ Akademiks claimed earlier this week, “Kanye’s been telling everybody within earshot” that Pete has AIDS. We’re told Kanye’s claim has made for a few awkward phone calls between Pete and mutual friends he has with Kanye — who are confused and disturbed by the childish behavior.

This of course is the Kanye who has been parading B-actress Julia Fox all over the world as his new lover and muse. In fact, in his Svengali fashion, he’s clearly trying to show that he can make her look more like the photo-shopped Kim Kardashian than the real Kim Kardashian ever could.
Except it’s self-evident that this ranting cuckold -cum- rapping bully is still pining for Kim. I mean, why rap about God saving him from a near fatal car crash just so he could beat up her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson…?
Which is why you have to wonder what self-respecting woman would be dating a man who is trying so desperately to get back together with his estranged wife? Er, a fame whore…? Okay…
But, in fairness to Fox, you also have to wonder what self-respecting adult would still be buying Kanye’s music and products? After all, his collusion with former President Donald Trump alone warranted “canceling” him. But no less a person than former President Barack Obama properly dismissed him years ago as a “jackass”. So…
Meanwhile, Kanye is just showing the whole world why Kim was as smart to divorce him as she was to marry him. In fact, Kim is making everyone – from A-list celebrities like Daniel Craig to ordinary folks like moi – eat their “she’s-only-famous-for-being-famous” words.
No doubt indigestion began for most celebrities with her hundreds of millions of revenue-generating followers on social media, which must have turned their fake tan green with envy. But then universal derision turned to grudging admiration when she began parlaying her celebrity into her new role as an avenger for criminal justice.
This saw Kim leading efforts to get worthy inmates released from prison and off death row. Perhaps even more impressive, though, it saw her emulate JFK Jr. by becoming a qualified lawyer after failing the bar exam several times.
But this is America, where money talks and bullsh*t walks. Therefore, nothing has silenced her critics quite like this:
It’s all about keeping up with Kim Kardashian now.
Less than a year after joining the billionaire ranks, the net worth of the reality television star turned entrepreneur has jumped to an estimated $1.8 billion following a fresh bout of funding that doubled the valuation of her shapewear and underwear label Skims.

Except the irony is that it’s still all about sex with Kim. Hell, there’s even talk about a second sex tape like the first one that made her famous. Although why a nation now strung out on porn would want to see VHS version of her and Ray J going at it again is beyond me. Besides, thanks to the forthcoming Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, Pam and Tommy Lee’s sex tape is making a comeback. And, well, let’s just say Kim and Ray J’s just does not measure up …
Apropos of retread, that seems a fitting explanation for her relationship with toy boy Davidson. I mean, given his list of “conquests,” he’s developing a reputation as a “rent boy” for celebrity babes. But, when it comes to consenting adults, there’s no shame or hating the game. So Kim, enjoy the ride…
