For the second year in a row, Kanye West broadcast another… interesting Super Bowl ad during this year’s football showdown.
The rapper filmed himself on his iPhone while he was lying down wearing sunglasses at a medical facility where he got new teeth.
Shown during the second quarter of the match between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, West said in the 30-second clip, “What’s up, guys. I spent all the money for the commercial on these new teeth. So once again I had to shoot it on the iPhone.

Fans were confused, not understanding what the point of the video was.
“What the hell is going on?” someone asked.
“Bro got too much free time, wtf. This guy man,” another scolded.
A third added, “This dude got too much money and time on his hands man.”

And it’s true — the money for a singular advert slot at the Super Bowl is no joke. As LadBible reports, these have been selling for up to $8 million. That means every second of footage costs a whopping $266,666.
The video comes just after his wife Bianca Censori expressed public support for him following the wave of hatred coming the music mogul’s way for his antisemitic and problematic tweets on social media.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, West was writing messages where he was seen “praising Adolf Hitler, identifying as a Nazi, promoting a Yeezy T-shirt design with a swastika, denouncing the #MeToo movement and reigniting his controversial comments on slavery, among others.”

In response, Friends star David Schwimmer — who also happens to be Jewish — even sent a request to X owner Elon Musk to have the rapper removed from the platform.
“We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk,” he said on Instagram. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence.
“His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews.”

“Lord, I lift up my husband to You with love & concern. Soften his heart, guide his words, and fill him with wisdom and kindness. Protect him from trouble & lead him toward understanding & respect for all people,” she wrote.
“Despite our differences, I love him unconditionally. Strengthen our bond & help me be a source of patience & encouragement. I trust in Your grace to work in his heart. God Bless Israel and All The Good Jewish Pple. Amen.”
Though the account is verified and under her name, a few social media users said it was a “fake profile.”
“Chat is this her real account or a weirdo?” one person asked.
The comments were hilarious, poking fun at the brief video
