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.

As usual, the Ye stans were once again caught in a mix, trying to move on but also reeling from their dashed hopes.
