Once music’s golden child, Kanye West

, rebranded as Ye, has morphed from eccentric genius to controversy magnet, leaving jaws dropped worldwide. His descent from provocateur to pariah accelerated with antisemitic tirades and Nazi glorification that crossed society’s reddest lines. While his MAGA hat once raised eyebrows, his recent spiral has fellow stars not just facepalming but grabbing megaphones. The celebrity world’s patience has officially flatlined as A-listers step up to challenge Ye’s dangerous rhetoric.

While Ye’s antics went from headline-worthy to history-repeating, stars traded silence for sass, activism, and a whole lot of shade. Here are 10 celebs who were not having it one bit.

John Legend

From studio soulmates to strangers, John Legend’s friendship with Ye has crumbled like ancient papyrus in the desert sun. The Grammy winner watched bewildered as his former collaborator dove headfirst into the murky waters of antisemitism and anti-Black rhetoric.

“Sad

” and “shocking

,” Legend lamented to The Times

, recalling zero warning signs during their musical honeymoon period. While grateful for their platinum-plated history, Legend drew his line in the sand when Ye’s Nazi admiration tour kicked off, proving some bridges burn beyond repair.

While Ye’s old friend mourned the loss of their brotherhood, another celeb was already sharpening his keyboard to torch Ye’s Hitler love letter. Next stop, Ross with the receipts.

David Schwimmer

Ross from Friends

 was not there for Ye

when the rapper dropped his “I love Hitler

” bombshell on X. David Schwimmer unleashed a digital inferno on Instagram Story, demanding Elon Musk exile Ye permanently from the platform, describing the tirades as “hate-filled, ignorant bile

” poisoning public discourse. The Jewish actor did not mince syllables, highlighting how Ye’s massive fanbase transforms dangerous rhetoric into potential real-world harm.

“Silence is complicity

,” Schwimmer thundered, calling for accountability while Ye’s unhinged train continued derailing spectacularly across social media’s landscape.

As David Schwimmer lit up Elon Musk’s mentions demanding a digital eviction, the next critic did not need a keyboard; he had a whole TV show to call Ye out mid-exit.

Piers Morgan

British broadcasting’s most notorious provocateur found himself ghost-interviewed when Ye stormed off set just four minutes into their scheduled verbal showdown. “Big baby”

was Morgan’s parting shot,

posted on Instagram as the rapper fled rather than face questions about his antisemitic remarks and admiration for Hitler.

Reflecting on the awkward moment during Piers Morgan Uncensored,

the host twisted the knife with a reply on X

: “We could have had one yesterday if you hadn’t run away before I could ask you any questions.”

While Morgan branded Ye a “big baby

” for his interview vanishing act, Ye’s ex-wife was preparing court firepower to deal with something far more personal and permanent.

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian

has had enough of Ye’s controversial actions. After Ye’s vile, all-caps rant targeting Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s children, a source revealed to Page Six

that Kardashian was “appalled

” by his language, especially towards children. Kardashian is done trying to reason with him and has chosen to communicate through mediators. Her family is concerned, and Kardashian finds Ye’s behavior “shocking

” and “offensive.

” 

As Kim Kardashian built walls to shield her kids, Travis Scott found himself ducking verbal shrapnel, too, because when Ye burns bridges, he does not care who is standing on the other side.

Travis Scott

Hip-hop’s rollercoaster relationship hit new lows when April 2025 reports revealed friction between Travis Scott and his former mentor. Scott, in an interview with Complex

, had previously referred to Ye as “my kid’s uncle

” and his career compass, acknowledging the superstar’s powerful influence on his artistic journey. Ye’s response, shared via Kurrco’s X account from his April 8 livestream, was a dismissive grenade: “textbook Jewish response

,” followed by bitter complaints about being left off Scott’s ‘Utopia’ album. The unfollowing heard around the music world happened after Ye’s antisemitic manifestos, yet Scott continues acknowledging Ye’s fingerprints across his sonic blueprint.

While Scott hit unfollow, another scream queen from Hollywood was crying, literally, after Ye’s hateful words hit far too close to home for her Jewish roots.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Hollywood’s horror queen faced real-life terror scrolling through Ye’s “death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE

” posted on X. Jamie Lee Curtis, whose father descended from Hungarian-Jewish emigrants, “burst into tears

” reading Ye’s digital vitriol. The actress condemned his behavior on the Today Show

as “abhorrent,”

stressing how words hold the power to reignite historical horrors like the Holocaust.

Her emotional response highlighted the personal wounds inflicted by Ye’s casual antisemitism, a painful reminder that celebrity platforms can spread both light and devastating shadows. Curtis balanced her condemnation with hope for Ye’s eventual healing.

As Curtis wept for what hate speech can summon from the past, one producer decided empathy was out and pure, unapologetic rage was in.

Jack Antonoff

Music producer extraordinaire Jack Antonoff did not waste time on diplomatic niceties when addressing Ye’s controversies. Calling Ye a “cry baby b—

-”

after Ye strategically crashed ‘Bleachers’ album release with his own launch, Antonoff established himself as the anti-Ye bullhorn. As Ye’s 2025 shock-jock routine continued, featuring Hitler appreciation segments and fellow artist takedowns, Antonoff remained the music industry’s unofficial watchdog, particularly vigilant against antisemitism and creative sabotage.

While Antonoff clapped back with biting insults, one actress decided to burn bridges, and Yeezy merch once swastikas became part of the fashion statement.

Isla Fisher

February 2025 saw actress Isla Fisher transform from Wedding Crasher

to Ye basher when she incinerated Ye’s reputation after his swastika-adorned T-shirts became Yeezy’s exclusive merchandise. The Jewish convert branded him a “monster

” while orchestrating a digital exodus away from his platforms. Fisher’s Instagram battle cry

demanded consequences as her stance joined Hollywood’s growing avalanche of outrage. Her uncompromising position crystallized celebrity sentiment: tolerating Ye’s behavior would mean normalizing hatred, and Fisher was not having any of it, not even designer-branded bigotry.

As Fisher turned her feed into a battlefield of backlash, a sweet-voiced pop star took a break from love songs to wage war on Ye’s hatewear.

Charlie Puth

Pop’s nice guy shed his friendly filter when February 2025 brought Ye’s swastika fashion line to Yeezy’s digital storefront. Charlie Puth’s Instagram plea

urged Ye to cease and desist, calling the Nazi merchandise “incredibly dangerous

” considering the rapper’s astronomical influence. Following Ye’s antisemitic and misogynistic posting spree that eventually saw his X account deactivated, Puth’s intervention highlighted the growing consensus: even music’s most patient voices had reached their breaking point with Ye’s increasingly disturbing descent into hate-fueled provocation.

While Puth called out the danger of platforming hate, another musician launched a T-shirt revolution, one donation at a time, to fight fire with fashion.

Matthew Koma

Musician and producer Matthew Koma turned outrage into action in early 2025, launching “F— Ye

” shirts in response to Ye’s antisemitic spiral

. Proceeds went to The Blue Card, aiding Holocaust survivors, while censored versions and matching donations amplified the impact. Koma’s bold move, rooted in his Jewish heritage, made resistance wearable. As Koma’s shirts raised funds and eyebrows, the message across Hollywood was clear: Ye’s shock-jock saga was not genius gone rogue, it was a warning shot, and no one was ignoring it.
