Fans of Ye Bring back His Penultimate Tribute to the Queen on Her 2nd Death Anniversary, Vowing to “never forget”
Kanye West, a.k.a Ye, might be the most controversial character to ever sashay into the industry, but his unshakeable relevance sets him truly a class apart. While his over-the-top fanbase could easily kick-start a bureau of investigation, his fearless attitude has made him the champion even in the mainstream scene, showcasing his big-time visionary chops. Hence, as the years roll by, not only does the daily dose of drama attain full circle but also his unapologetic rants. On the late Queen’s second death anniversary, his devoted followers recently dusted off one of his classic bold statements for a bit of nostalgia that once had the world in a shocker.
When Queen Elizabeth II passed away on September 8, 2022, the outpouring of grief stretched far beyond the royal circle, touching nearly every corner of Hollywood and the music world. While big-name artists took time to honor the Queen, Ye’s wild card entry became the mainstay on the tabloids. The rhyme artist took to social media, writing, “London, I know how you feel. I lost my queen too.” Fast forward two years and fans are still hopping in droves on that tweet, as if it were 2022 all over again.

Rant is practically the first and foremost chapter in the Ye Handbook, making him as frequent a visitor to studios as he is to the gossip columns. That tweet had fans on the edge of their seats back in the day, especially with all the drama swirling around Ye and Kardashian’s rocky relationship. In since-deleted Instagram posts featuring two vintage photos of the late Queen, Ye wrote, “Life is precious. Releasing all grudges today,” as he had just had a major epiphany, akin to the emotions felt by the UK people on bidding farewell to the Queen.
So when the tweet made an epic resurgence to continue the annual tradition, the buzz was back in full swing, with the line stuck in everyone’s heads like one of Ye’s most unforgettable verses.
