Kanye West is no stranger to controversy and a tweet sent yesterday supporting Bill Cosby has really p*ssed people off.
BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!

The rapper posted the below tweet last night and as Bill Cosby has been accused of rape by nearly 60 women, the comment has received a LOT of backlash.
Comedian Sarah Silverman got involved as did comedian Billy Eichner and Scandal star Josh Malina also tweeted his opinion.
Kanye!! You can't be for real. FIFTY WOMEN. With nothing to gain thanks to a statute of limitations ON RAPE. Oy. https://t.co/3ekYD43uMs

Are we sure Kanye isn't just a character from Zoolander?

Multiple Twitter users replied to the tweet and needless to say, Kanye’s opinion wasn’t exactly welcomed.
@ceebrie I hate it when people use this phrase, but I honestly can't even. I hope someone is literally shaking him rn
