Kanye West has never been the man who shies away from speaking his mind. The rapper has certainly built a name for himself but walking alongside controversies. From stage crashing to attacking other celebrities on social media, Ye made many mistakes over the years.

In other words, we can say it was a year that robbed all his titles and money in a snap of the fingers. While the fans who once worshipped him for his artistic talents left the fashion and music mogul alone. But there is still one man who still cherishes his creative side and doesn’t see him beyond that. And it is no other than the founder of the famous hip-hop group Chuck D.
