From dating rumors to marriage news and from cheating scandals to celebrities making dangerous remarks, 2022 was filled with ups and downs in the entertainment industry.

AceShowbiz - Also making headlines this year is Kanye West, no thanks to his controversial remarks. The Yeezy designer first came under fire after he introduced his "White Lives Matter" T-shirts during Paris Fashion Week in October and later criticized Black Lives Matter. The "Donda" artist then further sparked outrage when he made anti-Semitic remarks in an Instagram post, in which he claimed he would do "death con" on Jewish people, earning him massive backlash from public and fellow celebrities. His comments also led several brands, including Adidas, Gap and Balenciaga, to publicly announce that they dropped the musician due to his troubling remarks about Jewish.
Despite the backlash, Ye kept making more anti-Semitic comments in several interviews and social media posts. The ex-husband of Kim Kardashian did apologize to people who were hurt by his "death con" comment though he still stands by his opinion that the industry is being controlled by the "Jewish mafia."
This month, Ye further stunned people when he shared on Twitter an image of the Star of David and a swastika combined. The "Gold Digger" rapper, who announced his 2024 presidential bid, was then suspended from Twitter despite being brought back to the platform for a while. Instagram and Clubhouse followed suit in suspending Ye from the platforms.
