Previous discussions have informed me that at a certain point of wealth, you no longer consider yourself part of the "black class" and you instead consider yourself part of the "wealthy class".

Yeah Kanye was always Batshit crazy, but he was making money fore enough people to be enabled and managed. How do you think Donald Trump happened?
The article is paywalled, but I have to ask... you know that Twilight Zone: The Movie segment where the bigoted guy is suddenly a Jew in Nazi Germany? Are we sure that didn't happen with Kanye except he never learned his lesson?
Kanye was suddenly in the SS.
Why do people call him Ye?
It's the second syllable of his first name. Kind of like how people call Jessica "Jess" or Thomas "Tom".
Wouldn’t that be more like “ick” or “ass,” respectively?
Oh ok. I thought maybe he changed it? IDK
The name was used casually before, but he officially changed it in 2021
I propose a cruel and unusual punishment called yeet.
Btw, he's said to be in Russia rn.
That sounds like a choice
OMG I hope this isn’t true!!!!!
I mean…. gestures towards all the terrible shit Ye/Yeezy/Kanye has done in recent years
It’s probably true
