I’m sick of it all, but I’m especially sick of the number of black people who continue to talk about it.

Every black content creator and their moms are having a field day on Kanye West. Kanye leaves shockwaves online every time he posts a tweet. He leaves crumbs for hungry dogs to speculate on.

Black people have played a huge part in holding Kanye West accountable for his past actions, especially when he went on TMZ and made the infamous slavery was a “choice” comment.

We’ve tried to keep the sea monster at bay for too long. It’s been how many years since this happened? At least 3–4 and he’s still having these sporadic events for the world to see.

I wish we wouldn’t give so much attention to Kanye West’s antics.

We’re munching on his shit.

I understand how content creation works. I understand that creators, especially black ones need to make their moola.

But most comments on this situation come off more and more disingenuous the more I see people post about it. Every person who’s made a video on Kanye West has made at least eight before that. How much more can you say about a person in an 8-part saga?

There’s nothing else to comment on.

Kanye needs help. He needs his inner circle to hold him accountable. He needs to stop bullying people online.

That’s it.

There’s nothing else to say.

We can’t give Kanye West any more power than he already has. Kanye wants this attention. He’ll never go away if we give eighty hot takes on this man and disguise them as “holding him accountable” when we’ve done that a million times before.

A random person on the internet isn’t going to make Kanye stop posting. If it did, he would’ve stopped this behavior years ago.

I’m not trying to point fingers at black people, but I want us to spend our time and energy on other things since many of us, including the content creators, have voiced how tired we are of Kanye.

Let’s leave well enough alone and let his inner circle of “yes men” handle him.

That’s all we can do now.
