A clip of the rapper preaching to fans about Twix bars now being 'double the size' they used to be as part of a conspiracy to make people 'fat' quickly sparked jokes and confused reactions.

Rapper Ye has the internet scratching its collective head with yet another conspiracy theory, this time about candy bars.

In an Instagram Live video from December which has now gone viral, Ye appeared extremely agitated about what he sees as a conspiracy enacted by the makers of Twix.


Ye claimed "they" are trying to make us "fat" by making Twix bars "double the size" they used to be.

Ye stated:

"They motherf**ing made the Twix double the size trying to make us fat.”

It was only one part of the bizarre video. Other clips that have circulated online show him berating a woman in the audience who had the audacity to remind him that he's not "God."

My glorious king kanye please drop the album 😍😍 #kanyewest #mad #instagramlive #vultures

Ye responded:

"Shut up, be quiet before you get exiled."

Anyway, in reality the UK division of Mars, the makers of Twix and the "they" Ye was presumably referencing, announced in 2022 they would reduce the size of Twix in both its full-size and "fun size" varieties due to "rising costs" associated with inflation.

The price, however, would remain the same, a phenomenon known as "shrinkflation."

That move hasn't seemed to have been restricted just to the UK, however, the internet is full of Americans who've noticed the same thing appears to have happened here, too.

And of course, even if the opposite were true, no one is forcing us to eat Twix so Ye's suspicions don't really make much sense... not that that's exactly surprising.

On social media, people couldn't help but laugh at Ye's weird conspiracy theory about Twix.





Anyway, if Ye wants to rant about Mars supposedly trying to make us all fat, more power to him.

It's a lot better than all his previous antisemitic screeds.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
