Kanye West’s newly released ye, simply titled after the well-known shortened-version of his first name has caused some confusion among fans. As folks have been searching for the project all over streaming platforms, they’ve not only stumbled upon the new Kanye, it seems that searches are also bringing up a totally different result: Burna Boy’s polyrhythmic “Ye” off of his early 2018 album “Outside.”
Thank YE!! ?? Numbers up 200%. ??? pic.twitter.com/d4ojvc3VEQ
