A response to backlash?

Over the years, he has made several high-profile and divisive comments, from political stances to personal rants. Each statement sparked public outcry, and the consequences were often swift, with brands distancing themselves and fans expressing disappointment.

Furthermore, in another controversial statement, Kanye asserted "dominion" over his wife, Bianca Censori, a remark that raised concerns about his views on relationships and power dynamics. This followed their appearance at the latest Grammy Awards, which sparked reactions on social media when Kanye West caused a traffic disruption for Censori's photoshoot.
