Fans do not miss a chance to make Kanye West the center of any topic. The singer does not even have to say something controversial or drop songs to do so anymore. From songs and fashion to controversies, the entertainer remains an icon among his followers and a rich source of memes. Currently, he is laying low, and avoiding the media while working back to get on track to regain his billionaire status, but his lavish lifestyle remains the same. And knowing this, fans have resurfaced one of his casual photos to connect with another trending topic.

With the Threads app emerging, a Kanye West picture resurfaced when Rap TV put up a post. The said picture has him sleeping adorably during a flight. “How imma sleep tn after a long day of Threads,” read the caption of the post. But what caught the attention of his fans was the warm and luxurious Louis Vuitton blanket wrapped around as his mouth remained open in a deep sleep. Although an old photo, it screamed luxury, with the blankets being priced as high as $1800.

The intention of the post was to show how Threads users sleep after a long day of using the new app by Mark Zuckerberg. While keeping Instagram, the app has been launched to focus on chats. It is rather funny considering how the app founder and Ye used to be friends at one point.

RapTv was quick to jump on the Threads platform a few days after launching. Along with that came their love for Ye-related content. “Rap when it’s time to actually post about rap,” one fan pointed out how the page did not wait to post about West whenever they need rap-related content. “He has arrived,” wrote another to mark the landing of the rapper on the platform. However, the singer himself still remains absent from all social media platforms. “Bro works a 9-5 on threads😭‼️” joked a fan, which would likely be true considering Ye’s past usage of platforms and him getting kicked out.

A user by the name ChoseNoneJon wrote, “Sleep just fine my good men,” showing their love for the rapper. “Yoo the blanket got to be properly covered,” said another as the blanket left his napping body partially open. One fan could relate to the post saying, “Currently me.” “Wait you sleep ??? I thought this was supposed to be a 24/7 thing,” others are still obsessing over the platform, using non stop out of fresh excitement. The #nosleep comment came from a user who is currently going through it as well.
