Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has always been outspoken, unapologetically defending his views. Recently, his posts on X sparked outrage, drawing criticism from both fans and industry peers. As tensions grew, many fans disapproved, and even friends distanced themselves from his comments. Yet, Ye boldly targeted them as well, leaving many wondering what is next. Despite his turbulent relationships, one constant remains—his deep love for his late mother, a bond that has endured even after her loss.

Ye's deep emotional connection to his late mother has profoundly shaped him, and he has never shied away from sharing the lasting trauma her loss has left on him.

In his recent X tweets (now deleted), Ye shared that, ever since he lost his mother, he has struggled with the desire to harm himself as he mentions “I THOUGHT ABOUT” at least once a month. He revealed how he blamed himself for the loss, being harsh on his own emotions. However, he also mentioned that the past five weeks have been different, as he did not think about self-harming for a change.

Ye also criticized individuals who, despite having much to say, remain silent out of fear of being canceled. He emphasized his role in speaking up on their behalf, even when it meant expressing controversial opinions. Unapologetic, Ye stated that he is willing to voice even offensive thoughts for those too afraid to speak. However, fans worry that his recent controversial X posts might push more industry friends away, as past posts have already caused similar rifts, which Ye recently called out individually.

Ye's list of supporters has dwindled even further, as many who once backed him now stand against him, following his controversial statements and actions.

Ye calls out those who turned their backs on him for speaking the truth, according to him, including late Virgil Abloh, with whom he shared a close bond earlier. Playboi Carti excluded Ye from his album 'I Am Music,' featuring Kendrick Lamar instead, and involved Kim Kardashian in North West’s participation, which Ye spewed fire over and called him out for. Travis Scott reportedly unfollowed him after his social media rant, and his feud with Drake remains unresolved. The list of estranged relationships continues to grow.

One of the other examples of Ye's turbulent friendships is with Ty Dolla $ign, who was the first to extend a friendly hand when the industry sidelined Ye. However, after Ye’s controversial remarks, the rapper distanced himself. These instances reflect Ye’s troubled relationships, but through it all, what truly shines is the deep love he has for his late mother. It serves as a poignant reminder that, no matter how tough a person may seem, they always carry a soft spot for their loved ones.
