Opinion: Tired of Kanye and his shenanigans.

I saw the Donda listening party stuff and he brought out Marilyn Manson and DaBaby and it’s like ok lol he does shit to make people dislike him bc he thinks it makes him cool or some shit and his young fans or those that are less developed mentally eat it tf up.

I used to find it fun and entertaining back in 2017-2018 but it’s old now. Having to look into the deeper meaning behind why a grown man with daughters would bring out a known rapist/abuser towards women or why he would bring out a homophobe is ridiculous. He does it all for attention and it’s sad.

I love Kanyes music but I am so fuckin tired of the shit and stunts he pulls constantly. Especially on album named after his late mother I think its just in such poor taste

It’s just wild that he’s doing all this shit for an album named after his late mother. That’s the most egregious part to me

It just seems in very bad taste to have an accused abuser and someone who just got backlash for homophobic comments for publicity for an album that’s a tribute to your mom while rebuilding your childhood home for the album too. There’s no other reason for Kanye to bring those two out other than to get media attention and it’s kinda sad at this point

By now it should be clear that Kanye doesn't give a fuck about any of that. Marilyn Manson is iconoclastic and that's all Kanye cares about.

I completely agree. The older I get, the more I find it sad and pathetic. It’s not funny, it’s not shocking, or anything like that…. It’s just lame, sad, and pathetic. Something a loser who has to do anything for some attention would do. Kanye has hype. He has a legacy. Idk why he resorts to such scummy tactics. People would care about his album either way. He isn’t in a position where he needs to do that but he is clearly lacking something inside of himself to not realize this. He could’ve kept all the cool art shit for expression purposes but adding horrible people into the mix is just weird for me

It only makes it worse when a grown ass man does shit like that. Kanye hasn't been 25 for a long ass time.
