Kanye West has continued to make news for his bizarre online behavior and controversial statements. Prior to getting his Twitter suspended once again for posting an image of the Swastika logo within the Star of David, the rapper also made certain claims about his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian.

The musician posted a yearbook-like photo focusing on Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul and claimed that he caught Kardashian with the athlete. Kanye wrote:

“Let’s break one last window before we get outa [sic] here I caught this guy with Kim. Good night.”

While the unconfirmed claim left social media users shocked, several people also pointed out the name “Dalio” written above Paul’s picture. The image sparked major speculation about Dalio’s identity and made people curious if West's claim hinted towards Kardashian having an affair with Paul or Dalio.

Some users further alleged that the photo on Ye’s Twitter was reportedly of American billionaire and hedge fund manager Ray Dalio, and the name on the image was hinted towards his son, Paul Dalio:

Kanye West’s claim about Kim Kardashian came after the rapper landed in hot waters once again for openly sharing his admiration for Nazis and Adolf Hitler during an appearance on Alex JonesInfowars.

In one of his most recent controversial social media activities, Kanye West claimed that he “caught” his ex-wife Kim Kardashian with basketball player Chris Paul.

While he tweeted a photo of Paul in support of his claim, the rapper also focused on the name “Dalio” above Paul’s picture. The image sparked major speculation on social media, and many took to Twitter to react to Ye’s allegations on Kardashian:

As reactions continue to pour in online, it remains to be seen if Kim Kardashian will address Ye’s claims in the days to come. No official confirmation of the former’s connection with either Chris Paul or the Dalio family has been available so far. Moroever, all speculations are based on online theories surrounding Kanye West’s claims.

The rapper's Twitter account has since been suspended for possibly violating the rules of the platform with his anti-Semitic remarks and actions.
