Kanye West has detailed his "incredibly challenging" year after being cancelled for sharing a string of Anti-semitic messages.
He lost brand deals and almost went bankrupt after posting disgusting views on social media, later issuing an apology. Ye has now opened up some more about his year from hell, revealing not only was he blocked online, but he was also "banned from hotels".
Taking to Instagram last night, the controversial Bound 2 rapper referenced a recent run-in with Blank Space songstress Taylor Swift. But it was mid-way through his lengthy post, Ye detailed being cancelled, explaining he wasn't allowed in restaurants.

He also explained that he nearly went bankrupt (John Salangsang/REX/Shutterstock)"Last year was incredibly challenging for me, my wife, my children, friends and family," Kanye revealed. "I've been banned from hotels, kicked out of companies, and even not allowed to eat in some restaurants," he said, promoting his new album Vultures 1.

It comes after he spoke at greater length about almost becoming bankrupt. "I was two months from going bankrupt, and I put everything I had into it," he told TMZ. "If I didn’t have the various skill sets of music and clothing and the fanbase, they would have been able to destroy me." When asked whether he regretted his previous antisemitic comments, the 24-time Grammy winner refused to apologise.
He said: "They got the right to their opinion - I got the right to my opinion." Last week, Kanye came under fire yet again for calling himself an "antisemite" in the title track of his new album. The livestream party for Vultures was abruptly shut down last Friday after he debuted the track in front of a packed audience in Chicago. The Yeezy founder - who was donning a Jason Voorhees mask - raps on the track: "And I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite. And I’m still the king." Veeps, the streaming service that broadcast the event, cut the feed just one second after the controversial lyrics.
The Heartless rapper was previously banned from his social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, now known as X. He even faced fury after appearing alongside Piers Morgan on his TV show over his comments about Jewish people. He was later dropped by his talent agency, fashion brand Balenciaga, Adidas and his bank JP Morgan. Kanye is reportedly gearing up to drop an almost hour-long apology video, talking straight to a camera, about his cruel anti-Semitism.
He already apologised over Christmas with a statement written in Hebrew. Ye's bizarre message read: "I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused."
Last weekend, Ye and his wife Bianca Censori turned heads with their bizarre choice of outfit for the Super Bowl final. Kanye completely disguised himself for the outing, wearing an Alexander McQueen 'death mask', a black leather jacket and matching trousers. Bianca opted for a massive oversized trench coat, covering her hair with a tight black hood.
