Billboard—one of the most popular music and entertainment magazines in the United States—was dragged online after declaring rapper and designer Ye as their top gospel artist amid the controversy that erupted after rapper and designer Ye toldInfowars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones he liked German Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler.

The magazine's unfortunate timing comes as Ye continues to make headlines for high-profile scandals related to his antisemitism, aggravated further by his praise for a genocidal fascist.

Billboard has since deleted the tweet, which noted Ye "concurrently reigns" as the magazine's "top male artist of the year."

Billboard's recognition of Ye—who recently announced a 2024 presidential bid on the Republican ticket—only added fuel to a fire that has raged out of control in the last few days.

Earlier today, billionaire Elon Musk confirmed he suspended Ye's Twitter account after Ye tweeted a swastika entwined with a Star of David.

That controversy came just after Ye stormed out of an interview with far-right YouTuber Tim Pool after receiving slight pushback against his antisemitism amid criticism for accompanying White nationalist Nick Fuentes to a a highly controversial meeting with former Republican President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

The ill-timed tweet attracted both scorn and mockery from Twitter users.





Billboard's tweet was likely written and scheduled to go live to Twitter before Ye's appearance on Infowars.

The magazine has not commented on the since-deleted tweet, though it did publish a different article reporting Ye's comments about Hitler.and offering a detailed timeline of Ye's erratic and antisemitic behavior to date.

That article notes Ye has only "doubled down" on his antisemitic rhetoric, behavior other publications would likely have disqualified him rather than commemorated him for regardless of his music's success on the charts.

Yes, Marge Simpson Died In 'The Simpsons' Season Finale—But She's Not Gone For Good

The Simpsons is an icon of animation that first appeared as shorts between bits on The Tracey Ullman Show, beginning on April 19, 1987. Dan Castellaneta and Julie Kavner, cast members from Ullman's eponymous sketch comedy show, were asked to lend their voices to keep costs down for the fledgling Fox television network.

In December of 1989, the dysfunctional family got their own show and quickly bolstered viewership for the first U.S.-based network to challenge the original three of ABC, CBS, and NBC.

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.
