It has been a turbulent week since Kanye West decided to return to Twitter after a long hiatus. When he isn't giving advice to fans about the creative process or tweeting about his upcoming project with Kid Cudi, West has been brewing up controversy.

The Chicago rapper sent Twitter into a whirlwind when he tweeted support for conservative personality Candace Owens on Saturday. 
The right-wing, YouTube personality has been dubbed the "next Tomi Lahren." Owens rose to prominence after a video of her debating Black Lives Matter protesters went viral, and she also serves as communications director for conservative organization Turning Point USA.   

Writer and activist Shaun King believes this viral video is what prompted West's tweet.

The influential hip hop producer's tweet quickly went viral with personalities on the right, who may not have been fans of his before, celebrated him for "waking up." They applauded him for getting black people off of "Democratic plantation".

Black Twitter has already questioned Yeezy's political leanings before when he visited President Donald Trump after his election win in 2016.

Even with all of the controversy, Yeezy is still tweeting to promote clothing and other projects. 

But he did leave us with a tweet that likely was to vaguely reference the mayhem surrounding his earlier tweet about Owens.
