The photo of him hugging his daughter is beautiful and captures who he really is. You see it in his eyes, but I also see pain and suffering behind those eyes…and I believe his distress, sadness and mental illness has been brought on by MK Ultra programming. So sad. I‘m not really familiar with his music but I am interested in him as a human being and what they have done to him.

This was beautiful, I think Kanye represents the part of us that loves chaos, the part of us that gets bored in the presence of stability, have you ever wondered why it was fun to throw stones in a lake and get ripples in return. I think that's the best way to understand kanye and his fans, true art is authentic expression and if everyone expresses themselves authentically, then you'll see that kanye isn't a bad guy afterall...

First off;

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Secondly, I loved this 3 way conversation y’all had.

In the realm of family affection, it appears that Ye truly adores his daughters. The undeniable proof lies in the audacious act of his daughter, who, driven by an overwhelming desire, resorted to ripping apart couches just to connect with her father. The photo where he is hugging her, shows us such a display of love, it becomes evident that Ye is held in high regard by those closest to him.

Though I may not personally experience the intricate whirlwinds of bipolar disorder, I am an empathetic confidant to a dear friend who grapples with this heart-wrenching condition. The shear turmoil she endures elicits a profound sense of sadness within me. In light of this, I choose to reserve elaborate commentaries regarding Ye's own battle with mental illness, preferring instead to express sincere sympathy and commiseration. To suffer from any form of mental affliction places an immense burden upon one's shoulders, demanding immense strength and resilience.

While many deem him as insane, I perceive him as a visionary if not just a genius. This only amplifies the challenge of his circumstances, for one can only fathom the greatness he would achieve if his genuine potential were fully unleashed. I watched David Letterman's captivating series, "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction" (season 2), featuring his interview with Ye. His eloquent speech and unconventional perspectives left me thinking he’s not crazy. And when he and Dave were in his closet trying on his own clothing line (Yeezy), the sheer pride exuding from him was nothing short of euphoric. My heart overflowed with joy on his behalf!

I don’t care for most of his music but I find him to be fascinating.

Bottom line is, I believe his wife is a handler in the same way Kim was.

This is so refreshing! Instead of getting mean and negative headlines, we can actually follow what Ye has been doing. He’s always been a polarizing figure to me. Clearly the media is obsessed with reporting on him as well. It’s hard to find any of this info on mainstream outlets. I think we need more updates on Ye here on substack!

I love Kanye. I always have and I always will. I may not always agree with him(hello that marriage to Kim🥴) but I always love him. North West has ALWAYS been a vibe and I’m here for it. I’m beyond intrigued by his new wife and this new era..his music never disappoints. I absolutely love and adore Emilie, so I love when she pops up here in your substack!!

So he created Yews News which is run by Milo, who is…one of the certain group of race/religion that cannot be named. So he’s just adding another J**ish-run media to the list of all the others that he called out.

It’s really great to see Kanye getting to share the stage with his daughter who very clearly takes after her father. Past all the nonsense that gets thrown his way is a father doing what he loves with his daughter and that’s what this should all be about. The music is great, even for unfinished tracks, and I’m so happy to have more Ye music to listen to this year!

"On the bright side, this rant ended the "Ye is a clone" rumors." Mic drop! I don't keep up much with Ye but have ridden the TikTok side of "Ye is a clone" for a year now.

As usual - great read. Thank you!

Whenever I see him resurface, I'm always curious to read the commentary. Every once in a while he says or does something that I think is exemplary, especially in the sphere of celebrity. And other times, I find him to be an insufferable toddler with zero regard for strictly anything but himself. The arrogance feels forged. And that makes me sad for him. I wonder where he finds peace in his life. The times when he's emerged, seem like the most volatile moments. Fame is an odd bird, and the album name, Vultures, seems fitting.
