Did Kanye West Just Come Out as Gay on Livestream? Fans Aren’t Sure
A muffled sentence, a black mask, and the internet’s most famous Twitter ranter
What happened?
Kanye West, now known as Ye, went live again this week — and as always, it didn’t take long before things got weird. Wearing his usual full-face mask, Ye launched into a rambling monologue, touching on topics like his custody battle with Kim Kardashian and how little he gets to see his kids. But one moment in particular had fans genuinely confused.
At some point during the livestream, Ye mumbles a line that sounds like “I’m gay.” And a lot of people genuinely thought he had just come out. The timing didn’t help. Just a few days ago, Ye made headlines for lyrics in his track Cousins, where he said he had a sexual relationship with his male cousin at a young age. Add that to the resurfaced rumors about him and Jeffree Star, and suddenly, everyone was putting two and two together.
The Fan Reaction Says More Than The Stream Itself
What followed was telling. While some fans joked about the confusion, others were quick to distance themselves, claiming they’d stop listening to his music if it turned out to be true. Which is… interesting, to say the least.Because here’s the thing: Ye has said and done a lot over the years. He’s called himself a Nazi. He’s made openly antisemitic statements. He’s harassed Kim Kardashian for years at this point. He’s been accused of sexual assault by a former assistant. And through all of that, many fans stuck around.But the possibility of him being gay? That’s the dealbreaker?
So, Did He Really Come Out?
No — at least not officially. It was later confirmed that he said “I’m Ye,” not “I’m gay.” But honestly, that’s not even the main point anymore.
The real story here is how fast people reacted, and what that says about some of the fans who’ve supported him through every controversy up until now. Very strange to be okay with antisemitism and sexual assault allegations, but even the possibility of homosexuality is where they draw the line.That says a lot. Not just about Ye — but about the culture around him.
