Ye Is Back in the Wrestling World Months After His Iconic ‘Carnival’ Act in the Ring

Published 09/30/2024, 11:51 PM EDT

Ye, aka Kanye West, is anything but predictable. One can never really tell what the rapper is going to do next. Whether he is going candid with his thoughts, calling out a fellow celebrity for something he does not agree with, or dropping music whenever he feels like it- Ye always does his own thing. And yet again, he has pulled an unpredictable move right after his hit Asian concerts for ‘Vultures’ after 16 years. The Yeezy mogul is once again mingling in the wrestling world, taking off guard both wrestling enthusiasts and his global fan base.

Ye randomly popped up at a Japanese wrestling event, months after he performed ‘Carnival,’ in another Japanese wrestling match.

Ye was recently seen in the crowd at the Pro Wrestling NOAH event on September 30, which took place in the district of Shinjuku in Tokyo. After an exciting match where El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal faced off against Manabu Soya and Ulka Sasaki, the former team made their way to greet Ye and his entourage. As expected, the internet erupted with excitement over this unexpected encounter.

Ye was seen enjoying the event as Los Golpeadores, Super Crazy, and Daga swung by to share some love with the rapper. Even NOAH Pro Wrestling gave a nod to the rapper on social media with a sweet post, saying, "Great to see Ye, AKA the artist formerly known as Kanye West, watching Pro Wrestling NOAH in Shinjuku FACE tonight!". Nonetheless, this was the ‘Donda’ star’s second wrestling appearance of the year.

Earlier this year, Ye decided to drop in on a pro wrestling event. But when he entered the ring, he did not really grab a mic to sing. Instead, Ye did something only he could pull off- dancing in the ring and rapping to 'Carnival', although no one could hear his voice. Attendees even claimed he threw in a performance of 'Talking' with Ty Dolla $ign, a track that became popular after it featured his daughter, North West.

While there was not a performance this time, Ye’s recent shows in Asia have led to the announcement of his upcoming album titled 'Bully,' a track of which has already led to a discourse on social media. And given the rapper’s unpredictable nature, only time will reveal when this album will hit the shelves and what kind of antics this new project will bring in the days ahead.
