In the last few years, controversies and conflicts have barely sidestepped the doorsteps of Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West. Yet, with his declaration of a musical resurgence, the missing pieces seem to have fallen into place with his eventual return to the public eye and re-engagement with the fashion world. From a distance, it appears that Ye is thriving both personally and professionally. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that this is not merely a facade but a genuine reality. 

This reality is not depicted by the media, but is one that Ye himself acknowledged and embraced, as evidenced by his recent statements.

In a recent interview with Hypebeast Magazine, Ye expressed that the current phase of his life is easily the best one."Happiest I’ve ever been in my life," said the rapper, attributing to the ability to maintain close connections with his "loved ones" throughout the year. Ye elaborated on this by mentioning how his professional and personal worlds, spending time with his wife, his visual director Aus Taylor, and Dov Charney, have evoked a feeling of truly being home.   

His emotional openness continued throughout the conversation as he explained how independently creating his works has brought him a profound sense of satisfaction. When asked about his motivation to create music after two decades, Ye compared his journey to that of a bird learning to navigate both against and with the wind. Currently, the success of his track ‘Carnival,’ featuring Playboi Carti and Rich the Kid, is what propels him to keep going on the musical front.

During his conversation, although Ye underscored the current phase as the time of his life, it was hard to overlook the recent confrontations he had with Drake. Hence, there also came another highlight when Ye took fans aback by contrasting himself with Drizzy.

The recent rap that started with Lamar and J. Cole but saw a full-fledged rivalry between Lamar and Drake, took an unexpected turn when Ye dropped the 'Like That' remix. Although the verbal sparring is still fresh in everyone's minds, Ye added a surprising twist to the narrative during his conversation with Hypebeast Magazine. In an unexpected move, he drew parallels between his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign and the dynamic between Drake and 21 Savage, stating that they are "just such a good combination."

Even though tensions may have eased in recent days, it was unforeseen that Ye would openly praise Drake. Yet, not only did he acknowledge Drake's talents during what appears to be a particularly fulfilling phase of his life, but he also likened his creative synergy with Ty Dolla $ign to that of Drake's with his collaborators. Hence, it is safe to attest that Ye has indeed found himself in a positive space, with any previous animosities taking a backseat, at least for now.
