Kanye West breaks silence on X

Kanye West's first post upon returning to X on February 1, 2025, was,

"Trumps back in office. Ye’s back a billionaire. The world might just be ok."

In 2022, Kanye West faced severe financial losses after major brands like Adidas and Gap cut ties with him following his antisemitic remarks. His deals with these companies had been a major source of his billionaire status, and the fallout had led to significant financial struggles.

However, Kanye West now claims to have rebuilt his fortune, boasting a projected net worth of $2.77 billion by 2025. He followed up with another post,

"Damn. Just warming up. I’m rich. I can say whatever the f*ck I want. I do this for the broke me. Shout out to broke me this ones for you."

The rapper revealed that the only person he follows on Instagram is Swift, a move that many interpret as a continuation of their long-standing feud.

Kanye West and Taylor Swift's history dates back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards incident, where he interrupted her acceptance speech. Over the years, their conflict has resurfaced multiple times, most notably in 2016 when Ye released the song Famous, in which he referenced Swift in a controversial lyric.

Kanye West's return to X coincides with his preparation for his upcoming album, Bully. The project has been highly anticipated, with industry insiders hinting at a return to Ye’s earlier sound and lyrical boldness.

Rapper Jim Jones, who recently traveled to Tokyo to attend an exclusive listening session, shared his thoughts on the album, suggesting it will create a major impact upon release. Ye has been spending significant time in Japan, reportedly focusing on refining his music and artistic direction.

Additionally, Netflix Junkie reports indicate that his daughter, North West, has been a key source of inspiration for the album. Ye has previously expressed pride in North’s growing interest in music and fashion, and it appears she may have influenced the creative process behind Bully.
