In the early hours of August 28, G-Dragon caused a stir among fans by sharing an Instagram post featuring a call from none other than Kanye West. This unexpected move immediately caught the attention of rap enthusiasts. During the call, Kanye could be seen flashing a beaming smile, possibly hinting at a potential collaboration. The screen also displayed the message, “What more I can do?”
The prospect of a partnership between two renowned hip-hop figures and K-pop sensations has generated immense enthusiasm among their fans. In recent news, Kanye West launched a fresh album and furthered his impact in South Korea by actively promoting it himself.
The South Korean market was abuzz with excitement as Kanye West’s listening party drew in a star-studded crowd of notable idols such as CL, Minzy (2NE1), Winter, Giselle (aespa), Minji, Danielle, Haerin, Hanni (NewJeans), Somi, B.I, and Zion.T. This has sparked speculation among music fans that Kanye West may have his sights set on the South Korean market.
G-Dragon and Kanye West are familiar with each other. The “King of K-pop” has frequently expressed admiration for Kanye West, and they have crossed paths at fashion events in the past. As G-Dragon prepares to release a new solo album after a seven-year hiatus, the possibility of a collaboration with Kanye West appears to be growing.
Despite the potential for collaboration, there are also concerns surrounding it. Due to his divisive statements and actions, Kanye West has faced backlash and boycotts from the music industry since his divorce from Kim Kardashian. This includes instances of racism and disrespect towards women, causing a significant decline in his status as a billionaire and leading to brands distancing themselves from him.
Despite being given the nickname “Ye”by netizens, Kanye West is widely disliked in the music industry. This was evident when idols who attended his recent listening party in South Korea were met with widespread criticism. As a result, when G-Dragon hinted at a possible collaboration with the controversial rapper, fans expressed mixed opinions and voiced concern for G-Dragon potentially facing backlash as well.
Despite the speculation and rumors, there is still no official confirmation of a collaboration between the two stars. Despite his controversies, Ye continues to be a highly talented and influential figure in the music industry. Fans of hip-hop are eagerly anticipating a potential collaboration between these two iconic artists.
