It is no news that Kanye West, now known as Ye, has long been a gaming enthusiast, specifically a Nintendo devotee. As fans eagerly await his next album drop, Ye's priorities remain uncompromisingly personal. His forthcoming album, ‘Bully’, remains on hold, and a recent glimpse into his studio reveals why. Amidst anticipation, Ye was spotted indulging in an array of his personal interests at his studio in Japan, beside his production equipment.

Forever the master of his free will, ye proved dedication to self-expression, even if it means delaying his music. Thus, his album release date hangs on inspiration and not expectation. 

A recent snap from devoted Ye scoop shop, GoodAssSub, offered a rare glimpse into the rapper's studio. The picture spotted Ye's Nintendo Switch amidst an array of his interests, revealing his current pursuits. A book called Vanessa Beecroft: Performances 1993-2003 also lay nearby, hinting at a much more relaxed, productive, and definitely non-probatic atmosphere for the rapper. 

The studio snapshot also featured ASR and Apple TV equipment, sparking joy among fans. Notably absent were signs of Ye's past problematic addictions, which had his stans concerned. At present, all fans can figure out from his daily sneak peeks is Ye's focus on music, art, and gaming. Relaxing at his haven, with his wife and cousins, the rapper seemed unfazed by vile rumors which had got his family members worrying.

Moreover, unknown to many, the rapper has always thought of foraying more into his love for Nintendo by turning it into something creative. 

Ye's enthusiasm for gaming is well known, and in 2020, he attempted to collaborate with Nintendo on a video game project. The rapper and the then-presidential candidate pitched his idea to the gaming giant, but it was ultimately rebuffed. Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime personally handled the rejection.

Reggie Fils-Aime "politely declined" the rapper's proposal, bringing an end to the potential partnership. Although details of West's idea remain unclear, the rejection did not dampen his gaming passion. Ye continues to showcase his love for Nintendo, like in the recent snap, playing Nintendo Switch at his workplace in his studio. His further gaming ambitions, however, remain unknown.
