Kanye West's shocking days-long online diatribe was motivated by a desperate need to garner attention for his fashion line, with insiders claiming his wife Bianca Censori was initially unaware of the outburst. The rap mogul, 47, horrified followers after embarking on a three-day rant which saw him post a slew of vile anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic comments on X as he announced a new collaboration between his Yeezy line and incarcerated Sean 'Diddy' Combs' brand, Sean John.

'Although there is truly a lack of understanding when it comes to his fascist and racist tweets, everyone knows that Ye is doing this to sell clothes as part of this Sean Combs collaboration,' a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. 'Every single time he does something like this, his sales soar.'. The new range arrived just days after West released his first piece of YZY womenswear, a sheer bodysuit worn by Censori after she went near-naked on the Grammy's red carpet.

'If you think about it, no one was discussing his clothes a couple of days ago,' the insider continued. 'He will make millions off of these tweets and offer an apology. He knows that his fans forgive because they always do.'. Announcing the collaboration last week, he wrote: 'YEEZY SEAN JOHN COLLAB AVAILABLE @ YEEZY.COM. ME AND PUFF SPLITTING THIS 50/50 LIKE WE DISCUSSED BEFORE THEY LOCKED HIM UP'. Kanye West 's shocking days-long online diatribe was motivated by a desperate need to garner attention for his businesses, insiders have told DailyMail.com.

The rapper, 47, left followers horrified over his anti-Semitic, sexist and homophobic comments on X, in which he defended incarcerated Sean 'Diddy' Combs (pictured together in 2016). Combs - formerly known as Puff Daddy - was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution last year. He has vehemently denied all the allegations and charges against him and is currently being held at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits trial. He has been denied bail multiple times.

Despite this, West has partnered with the disgraced founder of Bad Boy Records on a five-piece capsule line that is comprised of branded T-shirts in gray, black, blue, white and red and emblazoned with the Sean John logo. Insiders have also expressed fears that his extreme remarks - which saw him refer to himself as a Nazi and seemingly try to profit off Combs' horrifying attack on his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura - could be indicative of a mental episode.

'Friends fear that Kanye is going through an episode, and it is very upsetting,' another insider added. 'Everyone knows that when this happens the best thing to do is back away because nothing anyone says or does will stop him. 'If this is an episode then he is not himself. This is not to justify his behaviour, but it is to understand that he is going through this and will come out of it.'. The Grammy-winning artist was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2016. Four years later he made headlines after reports he was 'in the middle of a serious bipolar episode' which left his family 'very concerned.' He has since referred to his diagnosis on his albums, but recently claimed he was misdiagnosed and is autistic.

Speaking on The Download with Justin Laboy, he said: 'Autism takes you to a Rain Man thing... When fans tell me to do my album a certain way, I’ll do it the opposite way. He then announced a new fashion collaboration between his Yeezy line and Combs' brand, Sean John. 'Everyone knows that Ye is doing this to sell clothes,' a source told DailyMail.com. The five-piece capsule line comprises of branded T-shirts with the Sean John logo across the front chest, and is offered in options of gray, black, blue, white and red.

West launched into an unhinged rant littered with racist remarks as he called for Combs to be freed from prison. 'It’s so difficult for them because this is like a grown man, you can’t tell him. You can’t take control of his bank account. You can’t control what I’m saying on Twitter.'. Censori, 30, is said to have had no idea he was planning to launch his latest tirade, which came a year after DailyMail.com reported she had reprimanded him for anti-Semitic slurs on his Vultures album.

'Bianca was unaware that he was doing this,' the source said. 'They're in LA and he started this in the middle of the night on Thursday.'. Last February, the Australian architectural designer reportedly clashed with her husband as she feared his behaviour was putting them in danger and 'setting a horrible example for his children.’. 'Bianca is really sick of his attention seeking and she knows that this is not who he truly is, but it is making her look like she is anti-Semitic which is so far from the truth,' an insider said at the time.
