There was a time when Kanye West fans had to dig deep into the online underworld and sift through media outlets for the latest tidbits. Now, with the emergence of his mobile-exclusive news sensation YEWS, keeping tabs on the rapper has become a piece of cake. In its latest update, the platform delved into the amorous Venice boat incident from last year. Kanye West and Bianca Censori found themselves in hot water over an apparent lewd act in front of dozens of gawking tourists. 

YEWS, however, recently flipped the script, offering an entirely different viewpoint on the controversy, four months post the incident.

YEWS’ take on Kanye West’s Venice boat controversy 

YEWS has everything from locking in ‘Vultures’ album pre-orders to breaking news about Gosha Rubchinskiy’s appointment as YEEZY’s Head of Design. Recently, it touched on the Venice boat controversy and dismissed the incident as nothing more than a media-driven hoax. “Ye & Bianca weren’t caught in flagrante delicto at all”, claimed YEWS, attributing the controversy to the “malicious tactics” of journalists.

YEWS stated this in direct response to Daily Mail’s decision to place Kanye West and Bianca at the top spot of the 2023 celebrity scandal list. This incident added to their series of controversies during their European vacation. Kanye West made good use of his career hiatus with his wife in Europe. However, the ‘Donda’ rapper was also occupied with completing his ‘Vultures’ album, scheduled for release in just a few days.

Recently, the album finally released a brand new promo, after its stuttering pauses and challenging approval process. 

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures’ teaser

A fan page dropped a bombshell by reposting a riveting video of Kanye West on X, formerly Twitter. The clip featured ethereal lights, resembling angels. To top it off, the clip ended with the album’s logo and a potential snippet from the upcoming project. On the same day, Ghostprotest fueled the frenzy by dropping the same teaser on his Instagram with the caption “¥$.“

The post has been making waves across the internet, giving a glimpse of what seemed like an exclusive preview of the forthcoming. Furthermore, leading up to the album drop, Kanye West issued an apology for his polarizing antisemitic statement. And now by discrediting the Venice boat incident and branding it a false hoax, West appears to be cleaning up his slate before his album hits the shelves.
