Ye (fka Kanye West) is moving again. The controversial rapper-producer-designer has been keeping a low profile, surfacing only in grainy paparazzi shots from Japan, but now he’s back—and he’s making sure everyone knows it.
Ye goes on a wild bender online: Is it random or premeditated?
In the span of an hour, Ye turned X (formerly Twitter) into his personal stage. He fired off an eyebrow-raising tweet about wanting to fornicate with Kamala Harris, changed his profile picture to a headshot of the former US vice president, and—perhaps the most cryptic move—made Taylor Swift the only person he follows on Instagram.
This is classic Ye. He doesn’t just reappear; he announces himself through chaos. The timing is suspiciously perfect.
Beyoncé just dropped her Cowboy Carter tour dates, and while Ye hasn’t aimed any of his digital outbursts at her (yet), his presence in the online discourse feels strategic.
This isn’t a meltdown—it’s marketing.
There’s also new music in the air. Ye has been teasing his next solo album, BULLY, and a recent Tyga livestream featured a snippet from what’s believed to be VULTURES VOL. 3, with Ty Dolla $ign and Ye’s unmistakable verse.
The signs are there: a rollout is happening.
But where will it lead?
Will he crash the Grammys?
Ye doesn’t just make noise for the sake of it—there’s always a reason.
This weekend, the 67th annual Grammy Awards are set to take place in Los Angeles, and Ye is throwing a Grammy party at 22:00 SAST, the same time as the award show he’s boycotted in the past.
On top of that, Ye is nominated this year. Carnival, his track with Ty Dolla $ign from VULTURES VOL. 2, is up for Best Rap Song, a category that also includes Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us and Future & Metro Boomin’s Like That.
Given Ye’s long, messy history with the Recording Academy—public rants, award show stunts, and that one time he literally peed on a Grammy—his sudden online presence has fans speculating: will he crash the event?
The streets of LA are already buzzing.
Ye has been spotted with A$AP Nast, rolling through the city in his all-chrome Mercedes-Maybach, and even stopping by A$AP Rocky’s house.
The last time Ye “crashed” the Grammys was in 2015, when Beck won Album of the Year. Ye made it all the way to the stage before stopping short, flashing a grin, and waving off the stunt.
It was funny, but it was also a call-back to his infamous moment with Taylor Swift.
With Carnival up for an award and Ye stirring up the timeline in real time, fans are bracing for impact.
