Kanye West has been through more ups and downs than the average artist. Of course, many of these downs are self-inflicted. One can just look at his Nazi obsessions from 2022 to 2025 to see exactly what we mean.
This year, Ye has been looking to make a comeback. He has seemingly accepted his mental health diagnosis and is making strides to get better. Furthermore, he has apologized for his antisemitic past. While he still has a lot of work to do, it seems as though the legendary artist is, at the very least, on the right track.
Earlier this year, Ye released BULLY, which proved to be a huge success with his fans. On Tuesday, Ye thanked his fans for the album's success as he called into Larry Jackson's Gamma summit.

It was here that Ye revealed how this album's success actually means more to him than the success he saw with albums like Graduation and Watch The Throne.
“Yeah, I just wanted to thank y’all so much for getting behind this on this journey. These number ones mean even more than the Graduation’s and the Watch the Throne’s, and all the number ones before because, as you know, about a year into the project, I went into an episode," Ye said. "So, this right here is a celebration and a victory, a success story for people who deal with mental health crises, to be able to come out of it and actually have number one records. With all the things that were done, with all the things that were said, and for you guys to be so forgiving and so supportive, it just means the world to me.”
While some may be surprised to hear this, it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Ye went through a lot with his mental health, and there were rumblings that the fans would not resonate with his new work. As it turns out, there are still millions of people who support him. His upcoming shows are further evidence of this.
