Kanye West’s legendary arrogance (or some say supreme self-confidence) and stubbornness are characteristics that helped the brilliant hit-maker explode out of the local Chicago scene and dominate the international music landscape.
These very qualities, however, are now creating a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between him and the Kardashian clan over his radical right political leanings and pronouncements recently.
The talented but erratic Yeezy has been causing a lot of his fans and observers consternation by publicly stating his admiration for alt-right and arch-conservative pundits’ viewpoints — even for those whom many believe are anti-Black.
While many folks believed the “Gold Digger” music maestro was hopelessly languishing under the Kardashian “curse” and unable to formulate his own views anymore, West hasn’t fallen that far down into the “sunken place” to be unable to disagree with the Kardashians. In fact, sources closest to the situation have revealed Yeezy is not trying to hear anything that any of them have to say about his viewpoints.
That sounds more like the Kanye West that most of us are accustomed to.
Without warning, Yeezy had greatly reduced the number of people orbiting his universe as even close members of his team have been cut off, including longtime manager Scooter Braun. Meanwhile, “explosive” fights have erupted with matriarch/manager Kris Jenner over her unsolicited advice on how to best deal with the controversy Kanye has created.
A source close to the action shared with People: “He’s had huge blow-ups with Kris. She sees how erratic he’s acting and is most concerned about her daughter’s brand. She’s also trying to be a good mother-in-law, so he’s having explosive issues with her too. Everyone is really, really worried.”
According to the popular culture-based publication, Kanye has all but ignored and dismissed whatever his wife Kim Kardashian has to say on the matter. Kimmie Cakes has had a miserable time trying to steer Kanye in a different direction in terms of his public utterances. Kanye is supremely confident in himself — which has proven to be both an asset and a curse — and because he believes he’s much smarter than his wife, Kim Kardashian’s input is not wanted.
“Kim is trying to control him and the situation, but he can’t be controlled,” the source goes on to say to People mag. “She’s trying her best to support him on social media and show a different side of things, but it’s just not working.
“He genuinely believes he’s God and a genius and that he can do everything on his own. He has a great love for Kim, but in his mind he doesn’t think Kim is a genius, and he’s telling her he knows what he’s doing.”
Kanye’s inner circle and family are worried about his strange and erratic behavior and his overall well being. They remain vigilant to try to avoid something simliar to the mental breakdown Kanye had in 2016 occuring again.
