Kanye West has been compared to a white autistic man by a far-right associate.
White nationalist Nick Fuentes spoke about West during a recent Rumble livestream. According to Fuentes, the controversial figure ramps up his “Blackness” when around Black people, and is truly just a dude who loves art and was nurtured by a college professor.
He then went so far as saying that Ye’s natural gifts and genius are all attributed to a special kind of white man’s autism, not what he described as a “gang banger” persona.
“He would have to kind of tone up the Blackness when he was with other Black people. I noticed this. When he was with the Black people, he would kind of tone up how Black he was acting,” he said. “When he knew he was safe when he knew it was a judgment-free zone, and he could be himself, that’s when he realized his mom was a professor. And he didn’t come from Chicago, he came from Hyde Park. Big difference.
“He came from the campus of [the] University of Chicago. He liked art, he liked poetry. You know, he’s like a white autist in many ways. He’s got the soul of a white autist. That’s what fuels his genius; not playing into this gang banger, ‘I f**ked your bi**h’ or whatever.”
In October 2023, Ye shared a message with Elon Musk where he spoke about having autism. He claimed that his infamous 2002 car accident gave him “signs of autism.”
West asked disgraced designer Ian Connor to share his conversation with Musk. In the text messages, Ye could be seen having a one-sided exchange. It was here that Ye disclosed his alleged autistic diagnosis. The musician also begged Elon to respond to his texts and accused him of keeping his kids away from him.
“When are we going to speak,” Kanye texted Musk. “You owe me nothing. You never have to speak to me again. But if we do speak. The nature of the relationship has to change. I’m not bipolar. I have signs of autism from my car accident. You can’t watch Kim keep my kids from me. And not say anything publicly and then call yourself my friend so I can bring my audience to your struggling platform.”
