In 2025, Kanye West, now known as Ye, has continued to make headlines with a series of controversial actions and significant career developments.
Public Appearances and Media Attention
- Grammy Awards 2025: Ye made a notable appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards alongside his wife, Bianca Censori. Despite walking the red carpet, he did not attend the ceremony, as he was neither performing nor presenting. Reports clarified that he was not escorted out but also did not have a seat reserved inside the venue.
- Controversial Interview: In a recent interview with DJ Akademiks, Ye appeared wearing a black Ku Klux Klan hood and a swastika necklace. During this interview, he claimed he regretted having children with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, stating he realized within the first two months of their relationship that he did not want children. This revelation has led to public condemnation and strained relations with Kardashian.
Social Media Activity
- Comments on Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Children: Ye faced backlash for a tweet questioning the intelligence of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s twins, Sir and Rumi. Initially apologizing, he later defended the comment, referring to it as potentially one of his “best” actions. This stance has drawn criticism from Beyoncé’s family and has legal implications.
Music Releases
