The fervent fan base of Kanye West, now known as Ye, has reached a fever pitch. As he moves further closer to his highly anticipated China takeover, a spirited contest has emerged among his supporters worldwide. Fans from every continent are vying for the distinction of being Ye's most devoted followers. With China fans now joining the fray, the question on everyone's mind is, can they outdo the passionate loyalty of Ye's existing fan base, or will their love come second to others?

A popular Ye fan page on X, Yefanatics took to their handle to spark a global debate among the rapper's devotees with a provocative post. "Could Kanye West's fans in China be the best fans?" captioned the post, accompanying the query with a photo of enthusiastic Chinese fans sporting Ye's merchandise. What followed was a frenzy of comments, with fans from various continents defending their loyalty to Ye. The lively discussion has racked up serious engagements, with some defending their own and others putting dirt on each other.

The heated debate ensued as international fans attempted to outdo the dedication of Ye's Chinese followers. However, the hometown fans, who have weathered the rapper's most controversial moments, refused to back down. While they proudly cited their unwavering support through Ye's infamous antics, followers still had a significant amount of kudos left to bestow upon the Chinese fans given the hype for the rapper's welcome, after a whole decade.

While they accept Chinese fans have a good deal of patience, “no fan base can dethrone his hometown fans,” one said. Nonetheless, a couple of them went beyond their better judgment to declare Chinese fans the winner. 

The battle among the fans had long started, but a good chunk of the page had followers simply feeling proud of their idol.
