We will never get rid of him with so many people willing to ignore his shittiness. The never-ending story of powerful/rich/famous people.

Was with friends yesterday and heard the Donda chant, we were all just kind of silent and trying to process it.

One guy goes "So is this it or is the beat gonna drop like DONDA DONDA DONDA AYYYYYYYY" and I totally lost it lmao. I aint listening to all that Ye, congratulations or sorry that happened.

Disgusting after he gave a platform to a serial abuser of women.

Done in his mother’s name no less, but what do we expect from a man who had Rihanna lay naked next to her abuser in his “art”

I really would like a deep dive why we still keep giving this man attention. There are plenty of other talented rappers that we could focus on. And yes, I also blame his peers for working/supporting him as well. His music has been terrible for years, as a person he is absolutely awful and he has repeatedly shown he is unwillingly to change either of those things. Let’s let people go and stop being curious - that curiosity leads to attention and success, which means they’ll NEVER GO AWAY.

It’s a shame because Halsey actually took risks and presented something while valuing herself as an artist…and this shithead overshadowed it.

His music hasn't been that bad for years.

Yeezus was a good and unexpected album.

Life of Pablo was a steep drop in quality overall (Kanye usually has albums that can be listened to from front to back). But it still had amazing songs.

He had the Wyoming sessions and there were good albums he produced from it. Pusha T and the Kid Cudi collab. I didn't listen to ye though.

I didn't listen to Jesus is King and I'm not going to listen to this one likely, but when he does make albums, they're not awful, just not as good as his best, which was fantastic.

He's a talented train wreck. So people now pay attention to him for either 'omg what crazy shit is he gonna do next' or 'oh wow this is really good in spite of his craziness'. Either way he gets attention.

He’s THE fuckboy fashion icon. Kanye is king when it comes to sneakers and concert merch. His music is just promo to sell shoes and shirts.
