For Kanye ‘Ye’ West, Los Angeles is not The City of Angels; instead, it’s a triggering environment. After going off on fellow musicians and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, the controversial rapper could not find solace in town. His social media meltdown added to his infamy in America; however, Japan welcomed him with open arms.
According to sources, L.A. can trigger Ye, hence his recent trip to Tokyo to relax. Surprisingly, the Carnival artist immediately felt better once he arrived late last week. The peaceful environment washed off the heightened emotions that sparked his heated tweets and comments. He butted heads with several celebrities, including entertainment power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Ye went after the duo’s twins, resulting in immense backlash from their fans. Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, even jumped in to declare the rapper would regret attacking his grandkids. The drama continued with Ye accusing Kim and her family of sex trafficking, claiming his ex-wife was exploiting their kids. His allegations stemmed from his disapproval of his oldest daughter, North’s involvement in an FKA Twigs song, per TMZ.
Critics Slam Kanye West’s Tokyo Trip
Sources claimed Ye chose Tokyo as his happy place because he could completely disconnect and feel calm. It was unclear if his wife Bianca Censori joined him as she recently checked out of her hotel. The rapper’s significant other stayed at West Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont Hotel for days until this weekend.
As for Ye’s trip to Japan after his social media meltdown, many found the update unnecessary. They claimed the controversial entertainer did not deserve the spotlight, with someone dubbing him “an attention seeker.” Another noted they were “relieved” he left the country, while a third implied he was mentally unstable. “That man is soooo psychologically damaged,” the X user claimed.
The criticism continued with someone slamming him for running to Japan instead of fighting for his allegedly trafficked kids. Someone wondered if Ye believed leaving and returning to LA would make people forget his wrongs and “start loving him again.” A critic claimed Ye’s time was running out, declaring karma would “catch up to him soon!”
The Controversial Rapper Supports an Explanation for His Bizarre Rants
Days before sources confirmed Ye’s trip to Tokyo, We covered the rapper’s explanation for his social media meltdown. He reposted an X message on the subject, appreciating the fan for capturing the reasons for his relentless rants. “Thank you Sam. And It’s simple as that,” Ye noted in his since-deleted tweet.
The fan’s post housed five arguments about why they believed Ye was “crashing out.” The first featured claims about an Adidas “higher up,” claiming the person almost got the rapper imprisoned. The executive allegedly froze Ye’s accounts and stole his Yeezy designs for the sportswear brand.
The second point involved Ye’s former pals, Ty $, Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and Tyler The Creator. The fan claimed these rappers betrayed Ye and blackballed him, hence his absence on Carti’s highly-anticipated album. The other points focused on his tumultuous relationship with his ex-wife and the evil in the industry Ye tried to expose.
“Moral of the story: Ye did help these artists & helped their careers, yet they have betrayed him. This is why I think he’s going so hard about this on this app,” the fan concluded. The theory sparked more debates, with many arguing that Ye could have handled his grievances better.
Will Kanye ‘Ye’ West remain calm once he returns from Tokyo, or are more rants on their way?
