Kanye West aka Ye’s superstar trajectory may seem like an effortless rocket ride to the stratosphere of success, but his die-hard fanbase knows better. They have been privy to the intricate fabric of his artistry, woven from the golden threads of innovation and genius. Yet, they have also witnessed the turbulent tailspin of fame, where shooting stars can rapidly plummet to earth. When fans mobilize to defend the Atlanta native, it is not a reflexive response or blind devotion but a fiercely rallying cry, tempered in the fire of criticism and skepticism, with Anthony Fantano serving as the latest catalyst.

Ye is one of the most misunderstood superstars of showbiz. Despite knowing it better than anyone, even his fans somehow fall victim to the telling pattern of critics. However, when the critics’ catalog gets heavier without reason, those fans who showed cold shoulder returned to the defense line and Anthony Fantano’s constant criticism finally had the Reddit fanbase of Ye turbocharged. Although Fantano’s last round of review dates back to Mr. West’s ‘Vultures 1 & 2,’ it is never too late to get on the last nerve of his fans and it shows. 

YouTuber Anthony Fantano had a three-word review of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘Vultures 1,’ “complete unreviewable trash.” Although back in the day, critics and fans slammed his stance alike, this was not the only time Fantano received the backlash. Previously, fans even urged Fantano to fairly re-review Ye's classic, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,’ following perceived bias. But as they now notice a telling pattern in the critics’ theory, fans are convinced Fantano has a knack for “overly hating” Ye.

Although Mr. West’s rollout strategies and contemplative measures often have fans frustrated, Anthony Fantano’s alleged disregard for his music and primary importance to criticism has fans waging a war of words online.

Ye has a penchant for navigating the hot waters again and again, but Reddit users assume the critics also have a way of not letting him live on his own. When the user asked for more thoughts on Anthony Fantano’s sour reviews of Mr. West’s music, a superfan claimed, “Fantano’s washed.. stop talking about him.” Although a few folks contested them, retorting, “How is he washed?” by pointing out Fantano’s righteous criticism of the rapper, safe to say that they were also not immune to the firestorm online.

While online discussions are never complete without a fair share of opposition, whoever supported Fantano’s view of the ‘Vultures’ rapper was shown the door, with some even tagging the opposition party to blast, “his music taste is just as bad as u.” Of course, the F-bombs were flying everywhere, but even fans believe Fantano’s stance stems primarily because he “just hates Kanye for his actions.” However, with most fans pulling up the defense frontier to back up Ye, the fans came to a final agreement that Fantano does “not deserve to be blessed by the goats music.”
