Will Kanye West be Held Accountable for His Latest Social Media Saga?

Kanye West went on a social media tangent over Super Bowl weekend calling for some to ask for his behavior to change

The Kanye West saga is never-ending, but isnโ€™t it different this time? One day heโ€™s saying he wonโ€™t perform at Coachella unless Billie Eilish apologizes to Travis Scott, the next heโ€™s saying his daughter cannot use TikTok without his consent, not to mention him wanting the final edit of the jeen-yuhs documentary right before the premiere.

But, the last couple of days, including today, Ye has been all over the place and his behavior has led to a lot of criticism like it normally does.

Through social media, specifically Instagram, Kanye West has done everything he can (We are not talking about sending flowers and roses here, but threats against her bae!) to get back with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, who is currently dating Pete Davidson, a popular comedian who is also a cast member on Saturday Night Live.

A month ago, Ye was featured on the track โ€œEasyโ€ by The Game. One of Yeโ€™s lines were โ€œGod saved me from that crash, just so I can beat Pete Davidsonโ€™s ass.โ€ After the buzz of that song died down, West was pretty quiet on Davidson, until this weekend.

Ye went on to post some of the most outlandish social media content Iโ€™ve ever seen from a celebrity on the level of Kanye West. All in the name of going at Pete Davidson and trying to get back together with Kim Kardashian. And if youโ€™re wondering if Westโ€™s account is hacked, trust me, itโ€™s not.

Kanye photoshopped his face on a poster from the 2016 Marvel movie, Civil War while also photoshopping the faces of everyone on his side and everyone Davidsonโ€™s side.

Heโ€™s done everything from posting funny pictures of Davidson to exing out his face on pictures of Davidson with Kim Kardashian to saying heโ€™ll never meet his kids and saying heโ€™ll double Michael Cheโ€™s salary, Davidsonโ€™s co-star on SNL, to just not look at Davidson. Like, he just wonโ€™t let up on the guy.

But, it seems this is all for Kim Kardashianโ€™s attention. West has also posted screenshots of his text messages with his ex-wife who asked him to stop with all of this because someone will end up hurting him. Thereโ€™s no way to tell if the messages are Kimโ€™s, but if they are she seemed worried and frightened. Some are claiming what West is doing is harassment.

Which brings us to the point, why is Kanye West not held accountable? Some people may argue that itโ€™s โ€œKanye being Kanye,โ€ and will continue to brush it off. Some will point to his self-acknowledged bipolar disorder diagnosis, which unless youโ€™re someone with the disorder, know someone with the disorder or a doctor, youโ€™re not qualified to speak on.

But, what many people have spoken on is that his actions are unacceptable and inexcusable, even if he is going through things personally and publicly.

One viral Instagram post pointed out, โ€œKanye ainโ€™t gone have no peace until he get with a black woman,โ€ which was met with many comments saying that Black women are not meant to be the saviors of men who are acting out.

Shanita Hubbard, the Chair of the Freelance Task Force for the National Association of Black Journalists, said in a tweet in response to the post, โ€œPlease tell Kanye and (anyone who needs to hear this) that Black women are not put on this earth to be the healers of broken men. We are not emotional mules. We hope and pray that Kanye and every other โ€˜Kanyeโ€™ find a solid therapist. Pls, remove us from this narrative.โ€

Many people in the comments agreed with her.

It seems that in his latest Instagram post, Ye may have learned from his actions from this past weekend and says heโ€™s willing to take accountability. But does anyone really believe him?

How should this latest Kanye West saga be resolved?
