An Australian dancer shared a heartwarming story about Ye, revealing how he stood out for a stranger who did not have anyone to help them out. During an after-party in Australia in the rapper's penthouse, the dancer was made to feel uncomfortable when Ye's acquaintances tried to force themselves on her. Despite her repeated "no's," they persisted, asking her to dance and twerk. Just as she felt overwhelmed, Ye intervened, bursting through the group and firmly saying, "'Dude, she said no!'"

 Following the confrontation, he consoled her, emphasizing, that she never has to do anything that goes against her free will. Grateful, the dancer recalled how despite everything that she read online nowadays, "He's a good dude." Apart from the fact that he does get himself into bizarre acts, there are people ranging from Michael Jackson to ballerinas who will always have a soft spot for him.
