In a surprise appearance that sent shockwaves through Beverly Hills, Kanye West, accompanied by Bianca Censori, rolled up to a Trump rally in a Tesla Cybertruck on Saturday, electrifying the crowd. The unexpected arrival of Ye, as he now goes by, added an extra layer of excitement to the gathering, with supporters going wild as they caught a glimpse of the enigmatic artist.
But the weekend wasn’t just about surprise appearances. Kanye has once again found himself in the legal spotlight, facing a lawsuit from eight former employees, including some minors. This comes after the launch of his new app, YZYVSN, a streaming service designed to rival industry giants like Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music. The lawsuit alleges that Ye hired an international developer group, which included underage teens as young as 14, to work on the project.
Amid the legal drama, rumors of Kanye’s retirement from professional music have surfaced, sending fans into a frenzy. Fellow rapper Rich The Kid shared a text message from Ye, where the 47-year-old reportedly expressed his intentions to step away from music. “I am retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do,” the message allegedly read, leaving Rich The Kid and fans alike stunned.
Despite these retirement rumors, Ye’s music continues to dominate. His collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, Vultures 2, recently stormed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, proving that even with talk of retirement, Kanye’s influence in the industry remains as strong as ever.
