Kanye West has undeniably left a mark on the pop culture scene. Beyond his talent and musical prowess, the fashion mogul has been on the radar with his famous Yeezy and Donda Academy. He has also consistently found himself at the center of numerous controversies throughout his career. Be it his headlining remarks or presidential campaign runs, the ‘Donda’ singer has always been in the limelight. 

The ‘Donda’ singer’s journey through the spotlight has attracted quite many curious searches, and a recent report showed just that. Ye still tops the charts and this time in global searches. 

Kanye West hits global charts, not a Billboard this time

A survey by MeetGlimpse published the list of the ‘Most Searched People.’ The Yeezy founder secured the 27th spot in global popularity, showing his influence with his fans. Despite a career spanning multiple decades, he continues to captivate audiences and generate curiosity about his life and work. And his ongoing controversies and legal battles too helped him stay on the list. His multidimensional persona has consistently attracted attention. Whether it’s his artistic evolution, personal life, or his public comments, the fans are all ears about his journey and staying up-to-date with the latest news surrounding him. 

Not only this, his impact on popular culture has remained for some time now. Even in November 2022, West became the most searched person on Google. This came amidst a flurry of headlines that were sparked by his controversial behavior and announcements. The condemned anti-Semitic behavior and the “White Lives Matter” slogan led to some big brands backing away from the ‘Graduation’ singer. 

And if you think this is only where Ye made headlines, then you are wrong, as the rapper made quite some ripples in the political sphere, too. 

Presidential election bids kept Kanye West at the top

The American rapper dipped his feet in politics twice. By announcing his bid for the 2024 presidential election in 2022, Ye kept the internet buzzing. From die-hard fans to just plain curious people, they all searched for him. And a lot of headlines he made. Since his interest in politics in 2020, the Atlanta singer has often made public comments about Donald Trump and his associated people. 

And as the report said, this partially stood for him, making it to the list of ‘Most Searched People’ on Google in 2022. The 46-year-old definitely knows how to keep the town talking.
