Ye Says He’s ‘Your Favorite GOAT’s Favorite GOAT’ After Y…

“Dirty ass laptops” have found themselves in the crosshairs amid a series of Instagram updates from the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

Tuesday, Ye shared a Stories update claiming that his YZY brand had seen sales of more than $2.3 million one day earlier. The latest drop from the label includes an all-black slipper, which, in keeping with Ye’s previously stated (and executed in 2024) pricing goal, is being sold for $20 alongside Bully-themed pieces and more. (Ye later clarified the name of the new item as, simply, SL-01).

As longtime readers will note, Ye blamed Gap back in 2022 for his prior inability to hit a $20 price point, specifically zeroing in on their short-lived Yeezy Gap Engineered by Balenciaga project. That same year, he asserted that “everything” sold through YZY SPLY would one day cost $20 prior to shipping. Within months, the conversation surrounding Ye had shifted significantly, with a string of widely criticized remarks ultimately leading to him saying “I like Hitler,” among other things, during an Alex Jones interview.

“To be specific, any brand other than Yeezy, fuck you,” Ye wrote on Tuesday when sharing a photo of an undeniably filthy laptop. “Close your dirty ass laptops.”

Ye, complete with the employment of over 30 goat emoji, went on to state that he was the “GOAT” when it came to the following: raps, beats, albums, clothes, prophecy, choir, shoes, money, posts, tweets, awards, award speeches, performance, show, show money, tour money, group albums, documentaries, executive producer, brand owner, teeth, prodigies, influence, originality, masks, crash-outs, cars, homes, properties, paparazzi photos, and talent recruiting.

“The GOAT of all GOATS of any GOAT that was ever GOATed,” Ye said. “Your favorite GOAT’s favorite GOAT.”

Elsewhere, Ye pointed to unspecified assessments of being both “dead broke” and “cloned,” neither of which is true.

“Do this sound like a clone?” Ye asked. “I don’t take advice. I give it. I do any say what the fuck I wanna say when I wanna say how I wanna say whenever I wanna say it.”

Ye also repurposed his oft-quoted Grammys speech, swapping a permanent state of wealth in for Recording Academy victory, like so: “Everybody wanted to know what would happen if Ye never got money again. I guess we’ll never fucking know. … I’m rich forever and ever in every lifetime.”

Not long after, Ye took to his Stories to share a clip from an early 90s Denzel Washington interview in which the two-time Oscar winner is seen speaking about the late Malcolm X.

“You know, he would illustrate it this way,” Washington, who played X in director Spike Lee’s 1992 biopic, says in the clip. “Is the sheep preaching hate when he says, ‘I’m not gonna let the wolf eat me anymore?’ … He wasn’t teaching hate. He was teaching common sense.” This, of course, is akin to some of X’s own remarks, including in the below interview.

Next for Ye, seemingly, is the Donda follow-up Bully, which follows last year’s pair of Vultures albums with Ty Dolla Sign. Just this week, Ye tucked in a Mike Dean nod amid continued IG teasing, though it wasn’t immediately clear whether this should indeed be taken to mean the two will be reunited on the album.
