Kanye West has been particularly troll-like on Twitter lately in the lead-up to his ever-evolving seventh studio album.

And it all took a pretty disturbing turn on Tuesday when he tweeted something that probably won't get the same number of laughs as his fake Rolling Stone cover: "BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!!!!"

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

And already, people are not happy.

In the past year, 46 women have accused comedian Bill Cosby of sexual assault over five decades. Last summer, 35 of them told their stories to Vanity Fair. In December, he was charged with aggravated indecent assault in the 2004 sexual assault of Temple University Andrea Constand. He faces a maximum 10 years in prison.

On his New Year's release "Facts," West made reference to the accusations against Cosby: "Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby? Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey?"

Despite the swarms of backlash coming his way, Kanye carried on tweeting non-sequiturs, including his ongoing apology to Michael Jordan and a photo from the studio, where he's presumably still at work on vaguely titled TLOP.

A representative for West did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.
