Kanye Ignites Twitter by Posting ‘Bill Cosby Innocent!’

Kanye West posted this pretty blunt message on Twitter earlier tonight about Bill Cosby:

BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) February 9, 2016

For the sake of context, West released a new song a few weeks ago including the lyric “Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby?/Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?”

Nevertheless, the Twitter reactions tonight were pretty instantaneous:

@kanyewest I have a better album title: https://t.co/EOzsH1kyLY

Somebody take Kanye phone before he tweets "All Lives Matter" and all social media hell breaks loose……

I officially retract that time I said Kanye was a genius https://t.co/lQJmK8jQnQ

It’s worth noting that West has been trying to get people to guess the name of his latest album today. The hint is T.L.O.P., so at the very least we can eliminate “BILL COSBY INNOCENT” because there’s no P there.
