A decade ago Kanye was calling out Bush for the Hurricane Katrina mess. Now he's sucking up to Trump and calling him his "hero and father figure" while people are having their homes destroyed by anoth

For all of Kanye's comments about having our minds controlled and being influenced by social media for the likes - all of it is perfectly mirrored through his own actions and that of his wife. How are

Talented Tenth, I've never professed to be a fan of Kanye, and he's certainly been a goldmine to make fun of, however, for me, he absolutely crossed a line with this whole episode.   Prior to this h

My favorite part:

That's because $890 million is less than a billion you idiot.

And also, a “receipt” for 890 million from... where??

Maybe Target?  I always spend too much there too.

I can believe that his company has made that much, in a year.  I mean, I don't understand it, but I believe it.  But that doesn't mean that is what he is worth.  Are these Forbes articles talking about net or gross??  Just like Kylie, the company they own can make a billion dollars, but that doesn't make them a billionaire.

Kanye West Says Prison Reform Is His Next Focus at Osteen's Church

Quote

He also discussed his 2016 mental breakdown, and how after that ... he felt he needed to move away from most of the people in his inner circle because they weren't real Christians, and were simply yes men who were beholden to the almighty dollar.

Speaking of that, Kanye also pumped himself up a bit by saying that he was the greatest artist that God ever created ... and now, he was working for the man upstairs again -- instead of working for the devil, which he believes most of his contemporaries are doing now.

So, everybody else is working for the devil, hmmm, sounds sane to me.

Kanye West's Sunday Service at Osteen's Church Was Ratings Bonanza

I think it's because people are lining up to see the car wreck.  There are people who are genuinely interested in the WORD of KANYE and there are looky-loos.

And Wyoming is already pissed. 

Between this and the outfits, I'm leaning towards cult too. 

He built all those dome houses in Calabasas without the correct permits, & now he's doing the same thing in Wyoming. He really thinks he's got some special mandate from God, & can just do what he wants.

I have no idea about the current state of his mental health, but if he is experiencing symptoms of psychosis and/or mania, those can result in the types of religiosity he seems to be showing more and more. 

Our society often tends to associate those behaviors with the mentally ill homeless people who are shouting about the apocalypse, or being a messenger of God, but folks in any socioeconomic group will exhibit the same behaviors and changes in thinking --- its just that the middle-class and wealthy tend to have family and financial resources that the homeless folks don't ... so their symptoms of psychosis and mania are better kept from the public eye.

Forbes' Names the World's Top-Earning Musicians of 2019

Kanye is #2 on the list. I remain fascinated that the uglier his designs get the more money he rakes in. Also Travis is #12 on the list bringing in 58 million. Crazy.

What???  Travis brings in that much money?  He has that many fans?

I know, right? I don’t even think I have ever heard his “music.”

His music isn't horrible.  I like some of his singles, I probably  wouldn't  buy the album though. And I bet the earnings are mostly from his tour sales followed by any endorsements he's done.

Kris’s legal team must be delighted by this article, because I highly doubt she advised Kylie to forfeit child support.

This reads as if the author is just a Kanye fan and likes what he wears. Its an opinion piece, nothing more, and the author is certainly not a fashion industry expert (for whatever that is worth), nor does he work in the field, and from what I can tell, he never has. 

It doesn't go into any reasons why the fashion is so beyond anything else. No comparisons, no insights as to why, although the sweatshirt might seem simplistic or basic, its fashion forward because ________. No comparisons to other designer's work or explanations of how Kanye's stuff varies from actual designers, etc. 

Really, all it says about Kanye's fashion is essentially, "when he wore X, I knew I had to have it."

That doesn't mean Kanye is stylish, it just means the author has really bad taste in clothes.

Well the thing is supposedly the numbers were checked out so I guess its legit. Forbes initially refused to call him a billionaire the last two times they wrote about his earnings. Kanye bitched about it showing bank receipts and Forbes said "insufficient documents". Now bank records were reviewed by Bloomberg News and Forbes, again and they check out. A Bank of America rep vouched for authenticity as well FWIW. Heres the Forbes article explaining the numbers in detail

So he's a billionaire, now what?   Does he really think people will take him seriously because of that?   Does he think he won't be seen as just that singer?  The people he craves acceptance from will never see him as the awesome person he thinks he is.    Just like Jay-Z trying to get taken seriously by the NFL.   They will use him while laughing at him behind his back.
