Referring to Kanye's harassment of Pete Davidson and ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, this phrase describes someone's abusive language and behavior (usually portrayed on social media) that has gone completely off, due to unchecked mental illness, extreme narcissism, delusions of grandeur, and/or an overinflated sense of 'self.' This behavior, though soundly condemned by others, is allowed to continue, sometimes without consequences, due to the perpetrator's position of fame/status/power.
