Although he was once deemed the biggest rapper in the industry, his fall from grace happened shortly after his split from his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. With Ye using social media as a weapon to share his uncensored takes, it ended up costing him a lot. From the falling through of his Adidas contract to his Balenciaga nixing, his empire came crashing down.

Since 2022, Kanye West has tried his hardest to keep his life under the radar. Apart from not saying much in public and even doubling down on his privacy, the father of four also downgraded to a fancy apartment with his wife, Bianca Censori. Now, shortly after Ye headlined the Rolling Loud music festival, the 46-year-old sat down with BigBoyTV to share some insight into his ‘Vultures 1’ album and some “big things” he had learned in life.

“Do not expect anything from anyone,” West stated. He also quickly added, “But also, n**ga better not expect nothing from me.” His response was met with the interviewer and Ty Dolla $ign agreeing with the Yeezy creator’s dislike of being told what to do. After all, the rapper has always been one to do things that he wants. Even recently, the 46-year-old proved that he would continue to do things his way no matter what the world said after the disappointment of his recent festival set.
