Even for a contentious lightning rod like himself, Kanye West has had a difficult few years, but they don’t seem to have had an impact on his happiness.

The Chicago rap icon and fashion designer has been spurned by many creative and commercial colleagues, abandoned by adidas, driven to the verge of bankruptcy, divorced from his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, and made numerous antisemitic remarks since he expressed admiration for Hitler.

However, Kanye recently claimed that he is happier than he has ever been in an interview with Hypebeast magazine.

The 46-year-old said, “This is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.” “I’m with Dov Charney, my visual director at YZY, Aus Taylor, and my wife. I’ve spent the entire year working independently while spending time with loved ones.

After more than 20 years in the music business, West also discussed what motivates him.

The fact is, even if a home can be destroyed by wind, a bird still requires wind to fly. Therefore, flight is impossible without wind,” he declared.

There are also moments when you have to fly against the wind. You’re not always able to control the wind. Right now, “Carnival,” my single, is the top song in the entire globe. That motivates me.

When Kanye was charged last month with discriminating against Black workers at his Donda Academy, his legal problems got worse.

“Kanye frequently screamed at and berated Black employees, while in contrast, he never so much as raised his tone of voice toward White staff,” according to a lawsuit filed by a former security guard at the school.

The rapper was also accused of making demands regarding attire and hairstyles, as well as outlawing literature by Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

Another former employee of Donda Academy, Trevor Phillips, has also lately accused West of mistreatment and discrimination.

Phillips filed a lawsuit against Ye in 2022, alleging that Ye harassed her, discriminated against her, and created a hostile work environment.

Legal records claim that the Yeezy CEO “bullied” Black workers, discussed porn addiction frequently, and even admitted to “masturbating a lot” even though he was used to orgies.

Furthermore, Phillips posted an audio that he says features his former employer declaring, “Gay people are not true Christians.” Additionally, Bill Gates manipulates homosexuals to prevent them from having children in order to control the population.

The complainant further asserted that Kanye made statements like “Jews are greedy” and “Hitler was great.”
