Kanye West Writes That ‘The Children’ And ‘The Homeless’ Are His Inspirations

If there’s one thing Kanye West loves to do it’s share vague, cryptic thoughts on social media. The newest addition to this pattern is a new Instagram post — the only on his page currently — that’s a screenshot of an entry in his notes app that reads, “Look to the children… Look to the homeless… As the biggest inspiration for all design.”

The comments uniformly praise West for his genius. The artist BFRND quoted Pablo Picasso: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael but a lifetime to paint like a child.” Another person commented: “I just dropped to my knees in Walmart for no reason.”

This follows Steve Lacy’s Instagram post about him, Kanye, and Lil Uzi Vert and their new matching tattoos of the sentence “We here forever technically.” The final word is in a different font, metaphorically marking all three artists’ quick-change tendencies. Speaking of Lacy and inspiration, Kanye also called the Gemini Rights performer “one of the most inspiring people on the planet” last month. He and Lacy were photographed together at the former’s Donda livestream event last summer. When asked about his time there during an interview, Lacy said simply, “It was cool, it was cool.”

The Game looks to be dropping Drillmatic: Heart Vs Mind this week. The long-anticipated and oft-delayed album has been taking a toll on the rapper who just last week, announced he was taking a mental health break. “The past two weeks have been a nightmare for me,” he said. Adding that “Not only have I been backstabbed & betrayed. I’ve been left to pick up the pieces alone.” Hopefully, the man can find some peace once his album drops on Friday. And at the very least, the tracklist and the sheer volume of high-profile features on Drillmatic would make any artist proud.

Not only will “Eazy” with Kanye West be one of two Ye features on the album, but there’s a diverse who’s who of hip-hop names throughout the 31 tracks. From Ice-T and 2 Chainz to Jeremih, Lil Wayne, Roddy Rich, and ASAP Rocky. It’s a thoroughly insane list of guests and The Game even said that Jay-Z cleared seven samples on the album too.

Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert and Steve Lacy  share a Gemini affection and appear to have gotten  matching tattoos.

Alternative R&B artist Steve Lacey took to social media late Tuesday night to share a photo of the trio posing for a mirror selfie.

 Popular Los Angeles based tattoo artist Mez Afram is holding the camera as Ye, Lil Uzi and Lacy extend their left arms for the flick. A close up of the photo shows off the ink that reads “We Here Forever Technically.”

This comes after Kanye Ye celebrated the split of his soon-to-be ex wife Kim Kardashian from comedian Pete Davidson.  In a now deleted post, Ye’s IG featured a photoshopped cover of the New York Times that said Davidson is “dead at age 28” seemingly in response to their break up.

Do you think this trio has a future collaboration in the works or the matching tattoos are random?

A month ago, Kanye West anointed California crooner Steve Lacy “one of the most inspiring people on the planet,” bringing some much deserved attention and praise to Lacy’s new album, Gemini Rights. Obviously, Kanye’s blessing has been a godsend — no pun intended — for many younger artists on the come-up over the years, even if those artists are no longer on speaking terms with the mercurial producer. However, for now, at least, West and Lacy have sealed their bond — alongside Lil Uzi Vert, no less — by getting matching, mismatched tattoos. Lacy posted a pic on Instagram:

To save you the trouble of zooming in, the bicep tattoos all read, “We here forever technically.” The final word is in a different font, metaphorically marking all three artists’ quick-change tendencies; they’re never just one thing. The artist is Los Angeles-based tattooer Mez Afram, whose Instagram is full of straightforward, unadorned designs like butterflies, big cats, and scorpions. Meanwhile, the woman snapping the shot for the three artists is Lauren Pisciotta, a music manager who now works as Kanye’s assistant and has since made the jump to OnlyFans.

Jumping back to Steve Lacy for a moment, the newly-minted star-in-the-making recently announced his upcoming Give You The World Tour, which starts in October, hits 27 cities, and concludes in his hometown on November 11 at the Greek Theatre.

Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian recently called it quits after only 8 months of dating. Throughout their relationship, Davidson was at the brunt of threatening social media posts and harassment from Kanye. A source close to the family is saying that the SNL star is currently in trauma therapy due to Ye’s threatening social media posts and harassment.

A source close to the family says that Davidson “has been in trauma therapy in large part” due to Ye’s threatening social media posts and constant harrassment of him.

“The attention and negativity coming from Kanye and his antics is a trigger for [Pete], and he’s had to seek out help,” the source said.

As for his former relationship with Kim, the source said that Davidson has no regrets for being a relationship with the reality star turned mogul, and wants to focus on his career.

The source said, “has no regrets for dating Kim and wants it to be made very clear that she’s been nothing but supportive of him throughout their relationship.”

“Moving forward he just wants to focus on his career.” 

Ye’s recent antic came after news of Davidson and Kardashian breaking up. Ye shared a picture of a fake New York Times newspaper, declaring that Pete had died. “SKETE DAVIDSON DEAD AT AGE 28,” the fake newspaper said. Ye even took a shot at Kid Cudi at the bottom of the fake paper, saying “Kid Cudi meant to play funeral but fearful of bottle throwers.”

Rumors circulated saying that Kim was furious at Kanye for posting that. Ye has since taken the post down.
