Few of us, if any, will be able to understand what’s going on in Kanye West’s head. He loves Trump, hates racism, loves music, hates attention, loves it, Taylor Swift has proved he’s a liar…it’s too much to take in or categorize. He inspires a lot of feelings in people, but I have personally decided Kanye’s world is not for me to enter. But we must talk about this absolutely wild tweet he sent out about Kim Kardashian’s recent milestone.
The tweet includes a photo of what appears to be a still life of various fruits and flowers. Were they grown on the Kardashian-West property? Did he arrange them himself? Who knows!
But even the caption is bizarre to me. It reads:
I am so proud of my beautiful wife Kim Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire You’ve weathered the craziest storms and now God is shining on you and our family So blessed this is still life So I made you this still life We love you so much.

Kim has indeed made a bunch of money, after selling 20 percent of her KKW brand to global beauty company Coty for a total of $200 million, which pushes her over the edge from grotesquely rich to monstrously rich. She is also celebrating:
So blessed and forever grateful 🙏🏼✨ pic.twitter.com/ipREFlY4vB

But as many people pointed out, we’re in the middle of a pandemic in which thousands of people gave lost their jobs and may imminently facing eviction. To brag about being a billionaire at any time is pretty offensive in my opinion, but to do it right now is inviting the guillotine. No matter how many tomatoes you have in the yard.
These are some of the reactions Kanye’s tweet inspired, and yes, they’re all angry:
