Ye, formerly Kanye West, has lost many things, but fan favoritism was never one. Despite the world turning its back on him, fans stuck like glue, fully aware of his genius that once bonded them close to him. Even on the musical front, Ye, who once stood as the pillar of artistic ingenuity, was struck with a blow from everywhere for getting too lazy and comfortable with AI. Although what made the fans stay throughout was their love for his golden age, with the rapper now spewing venom for ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,’ that support is no more.
Ye recently took to X and went on an unusual rant about one of his most celebrated albums of all time. “I hate My Dark Beautiful Fantasy Like haaaaaate that album,” the rapper wrote. Although his tirades on X have so far contested everything under the sun, his own discography was never a part. And that too with the hatred landing on what has been considered as the peak of his era, fans cannot help but call it “blasphemy.”

For those unversed, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ is Ye’s fifth studio album, released by Def Jam Recordings and Roc-A-Fella Records on November 22, 2010. It has been over a decade and a half since the rapper dropped the record, but even today, it finds a permanent place on every playlist, and one replay could transport fans back to his peak phase. Moreover, the rapper backed up the album with four US Billboard Hot 100 top-40 singles with ‘Power,’ ‘Runaway,’ ‘Monster,’ and ‘All of the Lights.’
Even today, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ is ranked mostly at the top of his discography. However, with Ye’s newfound hatred for the album, even fans could not contain themselves anymore.
Ye’s hate for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy turns fans into cynics
Ye’s ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ was a renaissance album. Not only was it a major commercial success, but it was also listed as the best album of the year in countless tabloids. In fact, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ was awarded the Best Rap Album at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. Intriguingly, even now, fans dub it as their GOAT record, but with Ye steering clear of it, they cannot hold back their frustration.
Some folks made it clear that this is where they draw the line.

Meanwhile, a few of them tried to find the rationale behind his dislike. However, not everyone was as understanding. Though following his recent row of X explosions, fans were the only support he had, with the same followers now turning sour with his unexpected review of ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,’ it is difficult to say whether they will have a change of heart in the future.
