Ye cannot stay out of the news. This incident makes twice in one day Ye is making headlines. However, these headlines are less laudable. Currently, video footage is circulating around the media of Ye assaulting a fan. Then the artist appears to be raging. The only response to making sense of this current breaking news is, whoa!
Ye Is No Saint!
This current incident is not Ye’s first public outburst. Ye has proven to be quite a hothead. The media has all the receipts to prove this. Given the amount of work and energy he has been putting into multiple projects, no wonder he’s on edge. Nevertheless, does job, stress, or the like justify such behavior? Of course, not. Putting one’s hands on a fan or otherwise is never a good look for an artist. But, conversely, sometimes fans become stans (stalkerish), and they do too much pulling out the worst.
What Happened Exactly Between Ye and His Fan?
From an earlier video, Ye is seen having a verbal exchange. And, Ye did not appear willing to hear what the female was putting down. Recently, reports indicate Ye’s cousin is the woman identified in the video. The exchange, in actuality, was an act to defuse the situation. Reportedly she is heard on the video stating,
“I am your family.”
Still, so many questions require answers.
Understanding the Ye’s and fan’s Debacle
When hearing of this incident, the first thing that comes to mind is, does Ye have bodyguards to maintain a buffer between him, fans, and the press? If not, he should consider hiring a team. So, how did a fan get so close to West? Of course, this question could be answered by number one. Without guards, it’s not hard to gain access. Thirdly do people not know how to read a situation. How much does an individual need to do for someone to understand today is not the day!
Does This All Fall on Ye
The blame should not fall solely on West. Random people walking upon others is never good; it is dangerous. And Ye doesn’t owe anything to a fan. Moreover, Ye is already under a lot of stress, and stress doesn’t mix well with surprise encounters. Yet a physical altercation is still inexcusable.
A bit of an Update On the Ye Incident
New details seem to be surfacing by the minute. Yet, it still is not entirely clear what this will mean for West in the upcoming days. Assuredly many will use this as fodder for whatever plan they have for Ye. Current information indicates that the victim has checked out of urgent care. And West is under the LAPD investigation. However, given West assaulted a fan, and it is caught on camera, there might be more pressing issues up ahead. FM Hip Hop will share those details with you as more information comes to light.
