Despite reports saying Kanye West’s recent behavior is concerning, a report claims wife Kim Kardashian’s family says the rapper “has never been better.”

West has been vocal about his support for Black conservative Candace Owens and President Donald Trump recently and the rapper’s apparent new political stance has his fans inner circle concerned.

However, a Kardashian source told The Blast that the family thinks Ye is “perfection” and although he’s gotten rid of his manager and attorney, the Kardashians believe his “new team” is great and say “all engines are blasting.” The source also said the rapper’s behavior is not unpredictable and mocked folks who think Ye might have a mental illness.

Still, others are concerned that Ye’s new team may not have his best interests at heart.

And amid People magazine reports that Ye has had huge fights with mother-in-law Kris Jenner and that his behavior is erratic, West and Jenner took to Twitter to strike those down.

Since stepping back into the Twittersphere following a hiatus, West has been addressing rumors head-on. One long-standing rumor is that West has fallen into the sunken place, where Black people retain a sliver of consciousness while being overtaken by white minds, since marrying Kardashian. The phrase became a key reference after the racial satirical thriller “Get Out” debuted last summer.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
