On Thursday, Billboard magazine posted a tweet with a link to an article calling Kanye West, the rapper now known as Ye, the "Top Gospel Artist of 2022."

The tweet was one of many mentioning top artists across various genres, but this one had the unique misfortune of being posted around the same time.

“Every person has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Ye told Jones on Thursday, noting that “Hitler was born a Christian.”

Billboard has since deleted the tweet, but it survives in screenshots for posterity. The tweet was likely written and should go live on Twitter ahead of Yes' appearance on show.

The rapper has long been on a troubling trajectory, making anti-Semitic remarks and recently spending time with white nationalist Nick Fuentes.

As of Thursday afternoon, none of this has been mentioned in the article Billboard linked to on Twitter, although another Billboard article details Ye's recent behavior.
