Ye (born Kanye Omari West on June 8, 1977) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, and fashion designer. With a career marked by dramatic change and diverse influences, he has made a significant impact in the music industry. Beyond his musical achievements, Ye has also found success in the world of fashion.
In recent years, however, Ye has faced controversy due to his public statements. In 2022, he faced widespread condemnation and lost numerous sponsors and partnerships after making a series of offensive remarks. These remarks included antisemitic statements that resulted in collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga being terminated.
Furthermore, in November 2022 Ye announced his intention to run for president in 2024. This decision drew criticism as he appeared publicly with Nick Fuentes—a known white supremacist—and later expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler while denying the Holocaust. He even identified himself as a Nazi—an ideology associated with hate and discrimination.

Late Registration is the second album from kanye west and is co-produced by jon brion - known principally as a soundtrack composer (magnolia, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind). the standout cuts are 'addiction', which flicks an acoustic guitar loop round a sample from etta james's 'my funny valentine', 'hey mama' which has a folk-rock vocal that could net butterflies and is classic kanye and single 'diamonds from sierre leone' which has a heavy groove and sped-up soul sample, courtesy of shirley bassey's classic 'diamonds are forever' with kanye's unusual conversational flow. the producer-rapper is aiming for the heights of motown's greatest icon and this album proves that everything he touches turns to gold.
