Singer Charlie Puth has publicly called on Kanye West to put an end to his inflammatory rhetoric, joining a growing chorus of voices condemning the rapper’s controversial actions. On Monday, Puth took to Instagram to address West directly, urging him to reconsider the messages he is spreading.

“@ye The message you are sending out to the world is incredibly dangerous,” Puth wrote in his Instagram Stories. The We Don’t Talk Anymore singer continued with a heartfelt plea, saying, “Please man, I beg you to stop. You are selling a T-shirt with a Swastika on it, and MILLIONS of people are influenced by you.” He ended his message emphatically: “Please I BEG you to stop, PLEASE.”

West has been at the center of controversy due to a series of inflammatory statements, including openly expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler and declaring himself a Nazi. His remarks have been widely condemned and led to the deactivation of his X (formerly Twitter) account.

In addition to his comments, West has faced backlash for selling T-shirts featuring a swastika, further escalating tensions. His actions have drawn criticism from celebrities and activists alike, with many calling for social media platforms to take stronger action against him.

Among those who have distanced themselves from West is his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. Although she has not publicly commented on his latest actions, she has previously condemned hate speech and anti-Semitism. Additionally, Friends actor David Schwimmer has joined the outcry, urging X owner Elon Musk to permanently ban West from the platform.

The backlash against the West has continued to mount, with many calling for greater accountability for individuals who spread hateful and dangerous rhetoric. Whether West will respond to Puth’s plea or the broader condemnation remains to be seen.
