Kanye West, now known as "Ye," was once heralded as one of the most brilliant and influential artists in music and fashion. His rise to fame was nothing short of meteoric—beginning as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, he reshaped hip-hop with The College Dropout (2004), blending soulful beats with introspective lyrics.
His talent was undeniable. With each album, from Late Registration to My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he pushed boundaries and redefined what hip-hop could be. He was loved for his innovation, his raw emotion, and his willingness to challenge the status quo.
But somewhere along the way, something changed.
The Death of Donda and the Beginning of Kanye’s Downward Spiral
One of the pivotal moments in Kanye's life was the tragic loss of his mother, Donda West, in 2007. She passed away due to complications from cosmetic surgery—a devastating blow to Kanye, who often credited her as his greatest inspiration and supporter.
Many believe that her passing marked the beginning of his decline. While his musical genius remained, his behavior became more erratic. The infamous 2009 Taylor Swift incident at the MTV VMAs, where he stormed the stage to protest her award, was one of the first public signs that something was deeply wrong.
A History of Bizarre Behavior
As the years went on, Kanye's actions became more unpredictable. His relationship with Amber Rose was tumultuous, ending in public feuds. His marriage to Kim Kardashian was equally chaotic, filled with highs, lows, and social media outbursts that often overshadowed his music.
He aligned himself with Donald Trump, wore a MAGA hat, and declared that slavery was "a choice" during a TMZ interview. He ran an incoherent presidential campaign in 2020, broke down in tears on stage, and revealed private details about his family.
Despite all of this, many excused his behavior, attributing it to artistic eccentricity or undiagnosed mental health struggles.
Kanye’s Descent into Extremism
In recent years, Kanye's actions have gone from bizarre to outright dangerous. His antisemitic rants shocked the world—he praised Hitler, declared himself a Nazi, and spread hateful conspiracy theories.
Things came to a head recently when:
He forced his wife, Bianca Censori, to wear a see-through dress to the Grammys, creating a media firestorm.
He ranted on X (formerly Twitter) with antisemitic and misogynistic statements so extreme that Elon Musk had to censor his account.
He posted pornography on X, leading to his account being deactivated.
He launched a Super Bowl commercial linking to his Yeezy site, where he sold a shirt with a swastika, causing widespread outrage.
Bianca Censori Leaves Kanye Amid the Chaos
Following these disturbing events, Bianca Censori has reportedly filed for divorce. According to multiple sources, both Kanye and Bianca have reached out to divorce attorneys, signaling the end of their whirlwind marriage.
While they were once inseparable, traveling the world and making headlines, it appears that even Bianca has had enough of Kanye's increasingly self-destructive behavior.
What Is Wrong with Kanye West?
The question many people are asking is: What happened to Kanye?
Some speculate that his erratic behavior stems from untreated mental illness—Kanye has publicly acknowledged that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. However, his actions suggest something even darker at play.
Fame and wealth seem to have amplified the worst aspects of his personality. If Kanye were an average man working a nine-to-five job, struggling to make ends meet, he wouldn’t have time for these extreme outbursts. But his massive fortune and global influence have given him a dangerous platform—one that he uses to spread chaos rather than creativity.
The Legacy of Kanye West
At one time, Kanye was a genius, a visionary, and a cultural icon. But today, he is a cautionary tale about what happens when power, ego, and mental instability collide.
His legacy now hangs in the balance. Will history remember him as a revolutionary artist who lost his way? Or will he be written off as another celebrity who succumbed to his own demons?
Only time will tell.
