His tweets expressed resentment towards the perceived influence of white women, specifically in the context of his children's upbringing and decision-making.
West linked his co-parenting disputes to his political affiliations, referencing his support for Donald Trump and claiming that he's been unfairly targeted for it. He also accused former friends, such as John Legend, of betraying him for his political stance.

'If that wasn't enough, the t-shirt is labeled on Kanye's website as "HH-01,"which is code for "Heil Hitler." Kanye was tweeting vile antisemitism nonstop since last week. There's no excuse for this kind of behavior.'

Podcaster Van Lathan, who famously clashed with West in a heated discussion in the TMZ newsroom in May of 2018, was critical of the rapper's latest series of tweets in a post on the platform February 20, calling him 'the slow kid in the Black communityās class.'
'Iām glad youāre rich,' Lathan wrote. 'It seems to be the only thing you care about. Money is dope you can do a lot of stuff with it. Sincerely. We need it, as a community.
'One thing thatās more valuable than money is people. Iām sure youād agree no dollar amount can measure Northās laugh, Iām sure youād go broke to bring your mother back. I would for my dad, who I lost in ā21.'
Lathan told West he was 'trapped in an infantās bubble, where [he] can be reckless and careless and people excuse it because of affection.
'We realize this, and try to ignore you, until the baby picks up something sharp like Nazism, domestic abuse, etc. then we gotta child proof things until you stop crying.'
Lathan, who cohosts the podcast Higher LearningĀ with Rachel Lindsay, continued, 'Youāre right about one thing, I am a slave to capitalism. We all are. Gotta work.
'But No one is more of a slave than the man who puts money over dignity. No one. So Iāll be a slave, and you be what you are, which is the slow kid in the Black communityās class. Keep eating boogers Kanye.'
