Want to become a die-hard Ye aka Kanye West fan? Well, buckle up for a masterclass of unpredictability, courtesy of Ye’s worn-out playbook. The recipe is familiar and simple: sprinkle speculation, add a dash of anticipation, stir in a no-show or two, and serve with a side of delay. Fresh from fueling the hype for his upcoming ‘Bully’ album, Mr. West pulled a classic vanishing act, only to reemerge with a bang of a merchandise drop. However, for the icing on the cake, Ye topped it with a cryptic audio rant.

While Ye’s enigmatic temper tantrums are nothing new, this latest brain-twister had fans re-visioning the pages of his crash course.

To join the ranks of Mr. West’s superfans, one really has to sign up for the wild ride. Although his creative hiatus projected unfamiliarity, it only took fans a journey from his unfinished ‘Vultures’ to the forthcoming ‘Bully’ to make it out that certain traits are as routine as bread and butter. Following his social resurgence, Ye turned up the heat of the festive season during the wee hours of December 29 with a voice memo posted on his Instagram story. 

“You know what that s--t hosed down, you know that s--t mopped, that s--t scrubbed,” Ye said in the second-long audio rant. Although undecipherable rants maintain his enigma, the latest one caught fans off-guard because of the non-stop headlines he had been making lately. The voice memo’s true meaning remains a riddle, wrapped in a Ye-sized enigma with theories bounding the deposition drama, the Yeezy knock-off designer, and the opening salvo in ‘Bully’ marketing.

Anyone with a full-time membership in Ye’s fan club knows what a job without a holiday looks like. Although sometimes there is a situation or two when they wish for a switch, Mr. West has a knack for pulling fans back to him in the most absurd ways. While his unconventional antics may spark lawsuits, his genuine fans spark a different kind of fire with the flame of curiosity.

Many fans assume this has to do a lot with the earlier call-outs of the fake Yeezy designer.

Of course, his fans could not pinpoint the context, but the theories sprang up one after another. Some folks were convinced this meant the completion of ‘Bully,’ eagerly awaiting the album. However, considering Ye often treads the roads less traveled, even these speculations had fans thinking that contrary to all, it was perhaps just a recipe for disaster.
