Remember the time when Kanye West changed his name to Ye because it was the “most commonly used word in the Bible”? Or that time when he asked Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Page to invest a billion dollars in his “ideas”? Also, how about that time when he declared that he would only make gospel music from there on? Countless such moments showcase the funny side of the rapper. In a recent Twitter (now X), thread by fans, the exact same thing has been done!

In a recent discussion, fans pointed out the many Kanye West moments that they considered the funniest. How could one possibly sum them up? Among the many moments that were shared, one iconic moment stood out. It was when a visibly excited Ye shared how Michael Jackson liked his voice and “gassed him up” to sing!

In a video, West recalled one of his earliest encounters with the late Michael Jackson. Apparently, Ye was singing one of his songs, ‘Good Life’ to which the late star took a liking. An ecstatic West goes on to describe how that was a boost of motivation for him. “I was like ‘Michael Jackson told me I could sing,” the rapper exuberantly continued. Moreover, he was so overjoyed by it that the musician went on to release an album ‘808s & Heartbreak’ dedicated to Michael Jackson.

Kanye West is indeed one of the most talked about celebrities of this generation. From transformative, industry-wide influence on budding rappers to controversial statements, West has done it all. 

Throughout his social life, Ye has a knack for giving his fans something to cheer about gleefully. However, his ‘funny’ side is what has fans hooked on the discussion.

Fans cannot get over the moment when Kanye West goes fully overjoyed

The highlight of the video is obviously Michael Jackson giving his approval to West’s music. However, from the fans’ perspective, it is that moment in the tweeted video when Ye throws his hands up and joyfully cheers along like a kid who has found an unlimited candy reserve! Hilarious and endearing, fans cannot seem to have enough of it.

Additionally, some fans also admired the brevity of the situation as to how one would react if Michael Jackson himself complimented them. Thus, Kanye West’s fanboy moment was totally justified.

Kanye West, who is on a music hiatus for now, has had his ups and downs through life. While the rapper has often gone on to give divisive opinions, he has mostly reconciled them. Additionally, the thing that matters to him most is being himself and having a hold of the music industry. Funnily enough, the reason why Kanye West made his last album ‘Donda’ was because he felt the need to “go like Thanos”!
