It seems that Ye has a grip on drama outlets, but what did he actually do in 2022? In this article, Riley explores the...creature that is Ye.
What Happened with Ye in 2022
What Happened with Ye in 2022
By Riley Barta
2022 wasn’t that bad, at least not compared to the cataclysmic events that took place previously. Last year began the renewal of normal society. However, our post-apocalyptic minds had to be burdened with a new threat. Ye, formerly Kanye West, was (and still is) an absolute fiend. Yes, some big events happened in 2022. The Roe v. Wade overturning was kind of a big deal, but what about pop culture and celebrities? Now, more than ever, we need stupid people to distract us from the dumpster fire that is our country–and Ye acts about as stupid as people can get. After closing myself off from the world and digesting Ye content every second, I am but a shell of a being. I cannot let this torture befall anyone else, but what if people want to know about Ye? Only one solution: I, a super cool media consumer, will provide you with content. Let your mind go on autopilot and enjoy The ‘22 Ye-aning.

January:
Ye did 27 things of importance, according to the Kanye West Wiki. Julia Fox and Ye hit the town for a date. This is better than a Telenovela! The romance is almost palpable. According to Page Six, “...the date was 'nothing serious,' and...Ye is simply trying to have fun amid his ongoing divorce from Kim Kardashian.” Oh, thanks for ruining the moment Page Six. Bye-bye romance time for brand deals. Ye declared the creation of “Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga”, which showcases a new, enthralling collection of gray sweats. Truly, Ye is a revolutionary in the fashion industry. Ye ended off January announcing a new album: Donda 2. Get ready to listen to some new music in…

On the great day of twos (2/22/22), Ye released Donda 2. Sadly, it was only officially released onto a Stem Player. Anyone can listen to Donda 2 in any remix they like for a small price of $200. This device includes its very own self-destruct button! It is a must-have for any Dr. Doofenshmirtz enthusiasts. Ye released a new Netflix documentary: jeen-yuhs. He can now update his career sheet to an infamous rapper, baby drop-kicker, PR team nemesis, and film producer. The romantic story between Ye and Fox comes to a close. They broke up: woo-hoo! One can only come to the conclusion that their breakup was due to Fox disliking the color red (get it 'cause Ye has a ton of red flags…I’m so clever). He did some other things, but none of them expanded the Ye lore.

He didn’t do anything in these months. If someone tells you he did do something, they lied. He wasn’t abducted by aliens that go by the name “Glubgorbgoran”. They don’t have any relation to him and they are not real. If they were real, then they wouldn’t be appreciative of the association between them and Ye. Stop spreading rumors; that’s hurtful.

Ye is starting his emo-era folks. He dropped out, or was kicked out, of Rolling Loud Miami. According to Rolling Loud co-founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler, “Ye has decided that he will no longer be performing…” Ye had planned on performing with our beloved Travis Scott. However, the organizers denied him this liberty, due to the Astroworld incident. He was only largely responsible for... what? 10 deaths and 300 injuries? That's not that big of a deal, right? Right? RIGHT? I swear: all this Ye drama is making me lose my morals.

August:
Ye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, has officially broken up with Pete Davidson. In true middle school fashion, they decided it would be best to be just friends. In response to their breakup, Ye posts a fake magazine page saying, “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT 28.” He later took it down for entirely personal reasons. Those reasons were definitely not Kardashian stating her disapproval. Ye doesn’t care about her opinions at all. Yeezy Day 2022 is held, apparently without Ye’s permission. Adidas and Ye start testing uneasy ground, which evolves further in…

Ye starts dissing Adidas and its leaders on his Instagram. Those absolute scallywags have been copying Yeezy designs! The disses were absolute bombshells, including my personal favorite: “You are a big ol’ stinky head Adidas.” I wish it was that civil but, no, I can’t include any of the real disses in here because Mrs. Tyrrell doesn’t want to be fired or something: “Please don’t write something that will get me fired.” Come on, Tyrrell. Don't be a buzzkill! Adidas is all mature about this and doesn’t snap back with their own remarks. They had so much material to roast Ye for, but no, maturity or something is more important than humor. (Can you imagine the SNL skits that would come out of that? Davidson would play Adidas so well!) Going along the Yeezy train, Ye announces that the partnership between Yeezy and GAP has been canceled with more finality than Shane Dawson. This is the last month of Ye peace. He begins his downward spiral in…

Ye is making some…interesting fashion choices this month. He opens up a Balenciaga show wearing an oversized security vest and mouth guard. Someone needs to tell Ye that this is a Balenciaga show, not a scene from Fight Club. Later in Yeezy: Season 9, Ye wears a “White Lives Matter” shirt. I…I don’t think I should make a joke about this one. I don’t think I’m allowed to make a joke about this. After whatever that was, Ye joins Twitter again. Okay, a fair warning. From this point on, Ye gets antisemitic. I don’t know what it is, but something about Twitter causes people to have the worst takes. In a tweet from Ye, he says that he is going to “defcon 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.” Ye got put into an internet timeout for that one. We got a momentary break from Ye on Instagram and Twitter for his antisemitic rhetoric. This didn’t stop him, though. He then went to several different podcasts and started screeching about antisemitism, fake children, and conspiracies around George Floyd’s death. Thankfully, this led to Floyd’s family suing Ye. In light of all this fun, hateful speech, Adidas dropped Ye. This was a bombshell in the media. Where were you when Adidas dropped Ye? I was waiting for what Ye would do in…

Ye gets even more antisemitic. He also announced that he is going to run for president again. When Ye learned about World War II, was he not told that Hitler wasn’t a good guy? Seriously, what is going on? I’m losing my marbles on this guy. I wasn’t exactly known for having all my marbles in place either! Turns out that some unsavory things happened at Yeezy. This led Adidas into announcing that they are running an investigation. It is wonderful seeing giant companies let abuse run rampant until someone spills to a news outlet. It may not seem like it, but Ye is redeemable. He decided to capture and release a spider from his house instead of immediately killing it. Well, he didn’t capture and release it; one of his workers did. The spider was also taken from the outdoors and placed inside Ye’s home so that he could take it outside. He has to be good, though. I like his music and refuse to believe that anyone I like can be hateful. Oh, he and Kardashian are officially divorced. He gets joint custody over the kids…yay.

Alex Jones takes Ye onto his podcast InfoWars. The catastrophe of Ye strikes the nation in full force. Now, he shows how much he has gone off the deep end. Ye went on about an hour-long declaration about his adoration of Hitler. He then proceeded to giggle about fairies and kiss a KKK member. Elon Musk got his head out of his rear end for once and Ye was banned on Twitter. Oh, why was he banned? He wasn’t banned for adoring Hitler-- no, that's nothing. He was banned for posting a picture of a swastika inside the Star of David. It took that much for Musk to ban him. I know his morning tweets were intriguing, but not interesting enough to condone Nazi behavior. “OMG took North to a restaurant #blessed,” is apparently Musk’s bread and butter. Like the first time he got banned, Ye fled to the first interview he got. He said all kinds of words. Like how Jewish people should just forgive Hitler. He only killed millions of innocent people and destroyed the lives of even more. Why do you care what Jewish people think of Hitler, Ye? You have already made it clear that you think Jewish people shouldn’t exist. The holiday season quickly approached. Do you think that Ye pulled his kids out of learning the Dreidel song? I know he probably hates SNL, but the holiday season isn’t the same without Adam Sandler’s fifty Hanukkah songs.

The ball has dropped. It is no longer 2022. We are all shocked by the knowledge that the world is still somehow alive. Ye is a super icky guy. I’d even go so far as to say that he is a loser. This article didn’t even touch on all the racism he spewed this year. He is besties with white supremacists…ironic. Dear reader, do me a solid and don’t be a Nazi this year.
