If the influx of creative genius gives fans a backstage pass to discover rising stars, it also hands them a microscope to shine the spotlight on those who have kept the stage warm. Unlike the conventional rap stars whose career is a pre-planned version of meticulous calculation, Ye illuminates his own path, navigating low blows and high notes simultaneously. But fans have been calling for a new title even after his split from Kanye West, thanks to a special Spotify milestone that tied him with Travis Scott and Drake, simultaneously convincing his supporters that he is only an occasional Ye but forever the greatest of all time.

According to Ye Streams on X, the ‘Vultures’ rapper has officially surpassed a whopping 10 billion streams on Spotify this year. Conjuring the success stories of 21 years of his career, making him the only rapper besides Travis Scott and Drake to earn the figures. With 66.4 million monthly listeners, Mr. West has been declared the 22nd most-streamed artist in the world. However, given his career has been plagued with negative media trials, coupled with blackballs and shadow bans, fans could not resist a bow down.

Ye’s discography is a testimony to the history of hip-hop’s legacy. Of course, being a member of his fandom comes with its fair share of disappointment and frustrations. However, those who become a fan once can only go upwards and onwards because backtracking is far from what defines him as a star. While the rapper may have been MIA some times with consistent no-shows of his music, his absence was never felt in the legends’ playbook.

As fans buckle themselves for more with the unfinished ‘Vultures’ series and forthcoming ‘Bully,’ the first thing they would like to do is crown him the “GOAT.”

Ye’s craftsmanship has never been a smooth sail, and the gloomy clouds hover over his upcoming album as well. Yet, even after his head under the water with mounting legal woes, and piling fans’ frustrations, the rapper never takes a leave from their favoritism. With this Spotify record, he may have matched with Travis Scott, and Drake, but all fans see is the “GOAT” in Ye.

Fans have been filling the thread with urges for a permanent renaming of the undisputed.

Meanwhile, fans even gave Scott and Drake pats for idolizing Ye, which explains the achievement of the trio. With fans throwing in GOAT emojis and dusting off the throne to have Mr. West seated as the deserving candidate, a few folks marked their attendance with a streaming update on loop. While other testimonies of equal artistic trailblazing may have soured the thread, this one had them convinced, “great minds think alike.”
