Fans Debate Ye’s “most underrated” Move in 'Vultures' Era, Following His Korea Takeover

Published 08/25/2024, 12:23 AM EDT

Ye, AKA Kanye West, has a brilliance in music that dazzles as much as his antics exhaust. Despite being a cult head, Ye has a knack for getting under the skin of even his most devoted fans. Whether it is sparking controversy or delaying albums at the eleventh hour, Ye's unpredictability is as much a part of his legend as his lyrical prowess. Love him or love to hate him, Ye has his ways of keeping fans on their toes, and they have had enough of this.

On Reddit, a discussion unfolded, analyzing Ye's decision to post a goat as his profile picture. While many assumed it was a declaration of himself as the 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT), fans were underwhelmed, leaving many questioning the genius behind the gesture. Although most did not comment on the move, they pointed to the chronology of actions that followed, which did not quite retain the meaning of the picture. For instance, releasing a mediocre 'Vultures 2' album.

Frustrated Ye fans, still reeling from the delayed and underwhelming second album, took to his profile picture to express their disappointment. Ironically, they simultaneously praised the goat picture as one of his most underrated moves. While it is evidently getting tougher for Ye Fans to stand their ground, they also could not call foul on the rapper as they intended to.

While the user who initiated the discussion about Ye's display picture was delighted with the move, deeming it his "most underrated move ever", what followed was a chain of playful jabs, critics, and dark humor. On the contrary, some agreeing with the admin commented that "he knows he is the goat" while another counter-attacked claiming 'Vultures 2' to be "the worst album ever". As usual, the Ye stans were once again caught in a mix, trying to move on but also reeling from their dashed hopes.

In other news, Ye’s latest Korea chronicles are making headlines. On August 23, Ye touched down at Incheon International Airport, marking his return to South Korea after a decade and more. The rapper was showered with love by fans as he prepared for his Listening Experience at the Goyang Sports Complex, showcasing his collaborative album 'Vultures 2' with Ty Dolla $ign.
