I Am Begging You to Stop Paying Attention to Kanye West
Briefly

Kanye West continues to leverage controversy to grab headlines, exemplified by his wife's bold appearance at the Grammys and his recent anti-Semitic tweets. As he prepares to release a new album, Bully, in June, his provocative statements reveal a calculated effort to reclaim relevance, overshadowing his waning musical appeal. Despite the streaming success of his last album, Donda, its low Metacritic score and tepid actual sales indicate a disconnect between hype and quality, suggesting that listeners are more interested in the spectacle than in the music itself.

With each shocking statement, Kanye leverages controversy as a marketing tactic—revealing that he understands the world often cares more about spectacle than substance.
