What Is Going on With Kanye West? A Timeline

It’s getting harder and harder to keep up with Kanye West. The rapper and fashion designer has never been one for predictability, but his recent behavior — much of it on social media — has come across to fans as particularly striking.

Over the weekend, Mr. West, 44, shared many posts in which he took aim at a number of people, including Kim Kardashian, 41, who is in the process of divorcing him, and Pete Davidson, the 28-year-old “Saturday Night Live” cast member and proud Staten Islander, who has been linked to her since the fall. Mr. West has criticized Ms. Kardashian and encouraged fans to harass Mr. Davidson. (On Tuesday, Mr. West posted a blanket apology for his remarks.)

For his part, Mr. West was also recently in a relationship, with Julia Fox, a model and actress best known for her role in “Uncut Gems,” But on Monday, Ms. Fox, 32, told Page Six that the two are “no longer together.” In the spirit of cuffing season, they parted ways right before Valentine’s Day.

Ms. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after seven years of marriage to Mr. West. At various points since, he has aggressively expressed a desire to remain married. His relationship with Ms. Fox suggested that he might be ready to move on. But his online posts have told a different story.
