In Ye, formerly Kanye West’s rulebook, success was not just a goal; it was the only play that mattered. Failure had no chapter in his script. However, despite his unshakable confidence, Ye’s musical odyssey has not always hit the high notes he envisioned. Showbiz, by default, is a stormy sea, but it is up to the stars to find their anchor within it. For Ye, that anchor was always melody. But with the world turning its back, rekindling his golden age has felt like chasing echoes in a collapsing hall.

Amid the turbulence of his current era, the rapper recently opened up about feeling cast out by the industry, reflecting on past wounds, including Super Bowl snubs and other shadows that still loom large.

Ye is one of those influential hip-hop figures who made the golden era of rap a reality. Although he is a man of many talents, his mercurial state of mind often gets the world stand to against him. In a recent X dose of candid reflections, Ye revealed three reasons that never let him headline the Super Bowl. According to the Atlanta native, “George Bush don’t care about black people.”

Secondly, Ye referenced “The Taylor Swift movement moment,” possibly hinting at their infamous fallout at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when the rapper abruptly upended her acceptance speech. Lastly, he held wearing that MAGA hat responsible for the omission. Although his tone was not exactly of lamentation, Ye expressed feeling blacklisted and shunned by the industry just because of being ahead of his time.

While Ye acknowledged the role of his antisemitic discourse eventually, he did not slow down on his Nazi salutes with the most bizarre album snippet.

Ye recently joined forces with Digital Nas on Twitch for his upcoming album, ‘WW3,’ originally scheduled to drop last week. The album was announced right after ‘Bully,’ but those who worried ‘Bully’ might earn a reputation too close to its title were not prepared for what is in store for ‘WW3.’ It consists of a highly controversial and divisive tracklist featuring tracks titled ‘Hitler Ye And Jesus’ and ‘Free Diddy.’ However, the icing on the cake is the provocative cover art.

The album, like many of Ye’s others, turned out to be a no show on its initial release date, April 3. However, Ye previewed the record during a Twitch session, which also had a snippet of ‘Heil Hitler,’ targeting Drake. In fact, he debuted a track about Bianca Censori during DJ Akademiks’ stream, expressing regrets over his past actions while pleading for her return. Although any Ye-stamped teaser comes with its fair share of turbulence, these snippets were no exception in summoning social storm.
