Was Stephen Hawking’s final theory about Kanye West’s recent Twitter resurgance? No. It wasn’t. But it might contain the only logical explanation.
First, a disclaimer: I’ve been a fan of Kanye West’s music since the moment I heard Jay-Z’s song “The Takeover,” which West produced, on the classic 2001 hip-hop album The Blueprint. And, as someone who’s followed his career for decades, I’m perfectly aware that he’s always been a bit of an eccentric.

My tweets are a form of contemporary art only compromised by people trying to tell me what to tweet and not to tweet…
But these days, he’s as controversial as they come. It almost feels like the arrival of Donald Trump’s political star has given him reason to re-imagine himself in an image that’s a complete 180 from the person he once was.
Kanye: “George Bush doesn’t care about black people.”

Note: this isn’t meant to make a statement on Donald Trump or his supporters, but the evidence indicating Donald Trump might possibly be a racist could be thought of as more prominent than any depictions of George W. Bush as one. Instead, this just indicates how radically different West’s views are from when he was rapping about being persecuted by his employers at The Gap for the color of his skin.
And, while it’s no surprise that Kanye’s return to Twitter has been what some might deem peculiar, it’s beginning to feel as though he’s somehow become a Saturday Night Live parody of himself.
You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy. He is my brother. I love everyone. I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals. And we have the right to independent thought.

And that’s kind of where we are right now concerning Kanye and his incredibly interesting social media presence. We have no clue what he’s going to do or say next.
When this Alex Jones tweet was initially sent, I’m not afraid to admit I assumed it meant Kanye was going on Infowars. And I believed it.
For the record: Kanye is not going on Infowars. According to reports, Jones claims his staff worded the tweet wrong. We assume it was meant to say Jones is going to discuss Kanye West. Either way, doesn’t it make a pretty big statement that we’ve reached a point where it’s completely believable that Kanye West would do the interview?
Free…
