Another day, another Ye saga — at least, that’s how most of the Internet has reacted to the rapper’s escalating online behavior. While the rapper formerly known as Kanye West had already taken multiple public jabs at his soon-to-be ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her boyfriend Pete Davidson over the past few months, Ye escalated things in recent days.
In since-deleted posts over Instagram, Ye fed the Internet with: memes about Kid Cudi (who Ye said will not be on his upcoming album Donda 2, due to Cudi’s friendship with Davidson) Billie Eilish, and Davidson; messy (and false) insinuations about Davidson’s involvement with Ariana Grande while she was with the late Mac Miller; and, most concerning of all, screenshots of private text messages he’s had with Davidson and a frightened Kim, respectively. Then, on Monday, the same day reports broke that Ye and his girlfriend Julia Fox had called it quits, the rapper sent a truckload of roses to Kardashian for Valentine’s Day, an act that some have compared to love bombing.
