Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has devoted decades of his life to rap while setting a standard that newer artists have barely managed to touch. Considered as the GOAT by many in the rap industry and even beyond, the artist was rumored and evidenced to be going through a lump lately. However, his fans which also includes chart topper and wave stirrer Playboi Carti, have refuted any such claims.

With Ye already having released two volumes of 'Vultures' and currently working on the third volume while also adding salt to 'BULLY' rumors, the rapper earned a pat on the back by Playboi Carti. Carti, who was attending Complex Con, hyped up Ye by saying "Shout out to Kanye," as he commended the Atlanta rapper for making his own beats.

Ye's beats and, furthermore, his flow, which is still imitated by upcoming artists, have always been as much a subject of discussion as they are a subject of inspiration. Playboi Carti and many other fans definitely fall under the latter flag despite the rapper consistently facing allegations of illegal sampling and now even AI.

Fans backed up Playboi Carti and took his shout out as a sign to celebrate Ye and the genius that he has contributed to the industry for years.

As 2024 unfolded to be a year where artists went neck and teeth against each other on one hand, it also proved to be a year of sharing crowns, paying odes, and giving shout outs curtsy of Ye and the rappers that respected him. From Travis Scott stating that there would be no "There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West" to now Playboi Carti giving the Atlanta rapper a shout out, it seems that a Grammy snub has got nothing on "Genius Ye".

The support for Ye also brought to light the more scenic picture of many rappers now being a close pack instead of going at each other, which, as proved by Kendrick Lamar's Spotify, success could be quite the money bringer.
