Posting a picture of a goat on January 14, 2024, Ye wrote words like “raps, beats, albums, clothes, prophecy, choir, shoes, money, posts, tweets, awards,” etc. each of them followed by an emoji of a goat.

He quoted his much-talked-about speech from the 2005 Grammys and wrote:

“THEY TOLD YOU I WAS DEAD BROKE CLONED DO THIS SOUND LIKE A CLONE I DONT TAKE ADVICE I GIVE IT I DO AND SAY WHAT THE F*CK I WANNA SAY WHEN I WANNA SAY HOW I WANNA SAY WHENEVER I WANNA SAY IT EVERYBODY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YE NEVER GOT MONEY AGAIN I GUESS WE’LL NEVER F*CKING KNOOOOW WE’LL NEVER EVER EVER F*CKING KNOOOOOOOW I’M RICH FOREVER AND EVER IN EVERY LIFETIME."

Kanye West disses Adidas in a separate post

Kanye recently posted a message for Adidas on Instagram stories on January 8, 2024, claiming how the company’s site shows up before his brand, Yeezy, even when someone googles Yeezy.com. Ye wrote:

“When you google Yeezy.com, the Adidas site comes before the Yeezy site. Members at Adidas, stop doing this. Stop doing your moves to hold me back. Our partnership is done. You’re a $60 billion company that froze my accounts. Now, I’m back on my feet (no pun intended) and I’m not going to stand for this (no pun again).

He concluded by stating how he did “phenomenal work” for Adidas and later claimed that the brand has been trying to “intimidate and oppress” him.

On the work front, Kanye is currently teasing his upcoming album, Bully, but the rapper has not yet released more details about its tracks and release dates.

The rapper continues to enjoy the success of his collaborative album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 2, which the duo released in 2024.
