9. Kontroversial Kanye

Caught Up In The Water Taxi

In a surprising turn of events, Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, were caught on a romantic water taxi date in Italy. However, what caught everyone’s attention was a series of photos that revealed Ye with his pants down while Bianca was between his legs. 

Car Crash Rant To Elon Musk, Saying He Has Autism

Ye didn’t hold back when expressing his thoughts about TESLA CEO, Elon Musk. He shared a series of frantic text messages that exposed his belief that a car crash in 2002 caused him to be autistic. It’s important to note that Ye and Musk’s relationship has ups and downs. 

Initially, they were seen as friends in 2020, but things took a turn when Ye made fun of Elon on Twitter, resulting in his account being temporarily disabled. However, in July 2023, Musk granted Ye access again, fueling the fire between them.

Is ‘YEWS’ Trolling?

Making a splash in the tech world, Ye introduced his latest creation, the “YEWS” app. With a name that plays on his nickname and the word “Jews,” this app promised unique news coverage spanning various topics like fashion, politics, sports, and pop culture. 

The name alone raised eyebrows and led to debates about whether Ye was trolling the Jewish community, given that the rapper gained backlash for making controversial anti-Semitic comments in October 2022. His anti-Semitic rant resulted in the loss of numerous endorsement deals.

Ye Dishes On Celebrities

Unreleased footage from 2018 resurfaced, spotlighting Ye’s controversial rants targeting fellow celebrities. In one instance, he accused Cardi B of being an “industry plant” and suggested she doesn’t write her raps. 

Ye didn’t stop there, as he also called out Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, insinuating his alleged affiliation with the CIA. Another victim of Ye’s outspokenness was Teyana Taylor, with whom he previously worked musically. Ye expressed feeling unappreciated and used by certain individuals in the industry.

Missin’ Ye In Ghana

In early 2023, Ye made fans concerned when reports claimed he had gone missing. However, it turned out that he was in Ghana attending a music festival pre-party alongside Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa. The rapper’s disappearance and subsequent reappearance left many puzzled but soon relieved as he released a song titled “Someday We’ll All Be Free” before his absence.

10. Hip-Hop Dominates The Grammys & VMAs

While Ye’s controversial moments took the spotlight, it’s important to acknowledge the impact of hip-hop in the music industry in 2023. With rising stars and established artists celebrating the culture, hip-hop played a significant role in saving the 2023 Grammys and MTV VMAs, securing its dominance in the industry.
