Does everyone deserve a second chance? Kanye West seems to think so, as he resumes his life out in public as if he never spewed antisemitic and racist comments back in 2022.
The "Gold Digger" rapper was reported missing by his ex-business manager, which spurred rumors that he might be dead or simply atoning for his questionable statements and behavior.
But whatever West's excuse, it seems that he is very much alive and well, in fact, according to reports, he was seen recently leaving a church and then a few days later, seen again, entering the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills.
West was not only seen going on this leisure trip-he was spotted with an unidentified blonde female accompanying him to the hotel.
How could someone who is publicized as highly controversial have the guts to go out, show his face in public, and go on dates-especially after being criticized and somewhat ostracized by the industry?
Forgiven?
According to TMZ, West hasn't apologized for any of his questionable statements or behavior, in fact, he has been doubling down on them.
He was seen meeting former President Donald Trump and talking to Nick Fuentes, who was labeled as a "misogynistic, antisemitic, white nationalist Christian fascist incel" by Twitter account, Right Wing Watch.
After being reported missing, many speculated that he was not missing, but rather he was hiding to avoid paying his ex-business manager about $300,000. Although these rumors are not confirmed.
Furthermore, it seems like the reason why West remains relevant and yet to be a complete outcast is largely thanks to his blind followers, who still support him.
According to reports, while many denounced the rapper for antisemitic comments, many also showed him support and love.
"If Kanye has million fans I'm one of them. If Kanye has five fans I'm one of them. If Kanye has one fan that one is me If Kanye has no fans that mean I'm no longer on earth. If the world is against Kanye I'm against the world. Until the very end, I'll support and love Kanye West," a fan wrote.
"I support Kanye West. Nazis were funny," another wrote.
While some fans note that West as a rapper isn't the same individual as the West who was spewing antisemitic comments.
"Kanye West was a huge part of my childhood, I will never stop liking this man. I may not agree with everything he says or does, but he's earned his keep in my eyes. [...]"
Although there are still many who support the rapper, he is widely now considered a persona non grata by people in the industry.
