Kanye West, one of the most influential and successful musicians of the 21st century, has recently gone through a significant decline in both his personal and professional life. His controversial statements and erratic behavior, including his failed presidential run in 2020, have sparked widespread criticism and concern. This, combined with the underwhelming reception of his recent musician releases, has led to a significant drop in popularity and credibility for the rapper and entrepreneur.

West’s downfall can be traced back to his increasing involvement in politics and his public support of former President Donald Trump. He drew criticism from fans and peers alike when he stated that slavery was a “choice” in 2018. West further fueled controversy when he made a series of inconsistent statements on social media during interviews. Despite these setbacks, West continued to push forward with his presidential run, which was widely seen as a publicity stunt and resulted in a disappointing performance at the ballot box.

West once-loyal fanbase has diminished as he has become increasingly isolated, both creatively and personally. He has fallen out with many of his former collaborators, including Jay-Z and Kid Cudi, and has become known more for his unpredictable behavior and erratic public statements than for his music. Despite this, many fans continue to hold out hope that West will one day return to his former glory and deliver the innovative and boundary-pushing work that made him one of the most celebrated musicians of our time.
