Kanye West, who now goes by Ye, may be famous for his music, but he has made it clear that he wants to be known as something more. “I am not what I would consider truly a musician. I am an inventor. I am an innovator,” he said in a 2015 essay for Paper.

“Graduation was an innovation. 808s & Heartbreak was an innovation,” he continued. “I care about innovating. I don’t care about capitalizing off of something that we’ve seen or heard a thousand times. I’m not a capitalist in that way. I’m an innovator. That’s my job. I like two things: I like innovating and I like making things better. It’s not that I always have to invent things that are new. Sometimes I can take something that’s there and attempt to make a better version and that’s what gets me off. Bottom line.”

Sadly, he has increasingly become known as a person who makes unhinged, often offensive public statements. Most recently, he made a string of antisemitic remarks, prompting Instagram and Twitter to restrict his accounts. Now, Ye has responded by agreeing in principle to buy the right-leaning social-media platform Parler.
