In March 2018, MLB analyst Tim Kurkjian made an insane admission. He admitted to not knowing iconic rapper Kanye West's gender. Hilarious, right?
He revealed that he was oblivious to the ongoing trends and nitty-gritty of the music industry for a short period of his life.
As per SB Nation, a sports blogging network owned by Vox Media, Tim Kurkjian said:
"And ... this is bad. For a very short time in my life, a short time, I wasn’t sure if Kanye West was a man or a woman. That’s how bad I am at music."
Tim also went on to reveal how he had zero clue about DJ Khaled, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Jethro Tull. Apparently, he mistook the rock bands for individuals.
"I wasn’t sure who he was [DJ Khaled]. I thought Lynyrd Skynyrd was a guy. I thought his name was Len. I didn’t know it was a band. I thought Jethro Tull was a guy, instead of a band."

In the last two decades, Kanye West has climbed the ladder of success and is exclusively recognized by his first name. However, the rapper changed his legal name from "Kanye Omari West" to just "Ye" in 2021.
"He changed his name from Kanye West, to Kanye, to Ye. Really hoping he drops the last two letters and just goes away next." - @Bryan Greenberg
Kanye's current legal name is "Ye."
