Just days after he shared a poem titled “Divorce” on his Instagram page, Kanye West posted a poem entitled “DEAD” on IG.
Ye elaborated on his intention behind the piece:“I feel already compromised that I have to justify my expression after over 20 years of art that I’ve contributed to the planet but I also see the need to make sure we as a species are allowed to still feel anything. Men not allowed to cry celebrities not allowed to cry I will not explain this new piece for the explanation destroys the mystery and magic of true love and puts it in a box that can be counted. Art is subjective Art only works when it is the artist absolute truth Someone’s truth can be another persons lie. We don’t all have to feel the same because we are not the same With out further ado I present to you my latest creation it is called DEAD.” The poem also includes a reference to West and Kim Kardashian’s kids.
On the same day he shared the “DEAD” poem, Kanye released the video for “Hurricane” featuring Lil Baby and The Weeknd, from his 2021 album Donda. You can take a look at the video for “Hurricane” – here.
