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.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
