Yeah, what the fuck am I reading in that OP?
Did he lick a 9V battery or shock his balls with a deep cycle marine battery?

My joke was acceptable because english is not my first language, what's your excuse??

High as fuck

Spoiler

But also yes it's a corny dad joke and I didn't want to give that website a click to find out what actually happened

There's videos out there of a couple recording him from behind a wall gloating about "he's gonna fall for it".

These people weren't innocent fans asking for autographs and were a group of I suspect con artists who knew how to rile him up (apparently they screamed vile terms at him and made statements about his recent divorce).

The media will paint Kanye to be the bad guy as it sells but I thought it would be important to post the truth.

 

[Star-Lord]

Kanye being done for battery?

No man should have all that power.

 

[Jennings]

Kanye gets a pass from me. This is a much better result than the Princess Diana incident.

Did Pete Davidson get a beat down?

Makes more sense.

Maybe we should arrest those assholes instead.

Most definitely, I wouldn't be surprised if they're hired by Kris Jenner (I mean she tried to get Kanye 51/50'd so I wouldn't put it past the realms of possibility)

I knew what battery was, it's the cost of following the ufc and jon jones...

 

[The Cockatrice]

Is this why he wants to go to Russia?

 

[DonJorginho]

Is this why he wants to go to Russia?

Russia has been denied by his manager Bu I believe.

He is however planning on going into the middle of the SoCal desert to do prep work for Coachella, Sunday Service and his upcoming album.

Ye.

I’m getting extra-strong classic Resident Evil vibes from this image.


As for Kanye… congrats, or sorry for your loss, I guess.
The guy never managed to catch my attention beyond his immense meme potential.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Why is he 'formerly known as Kanye West'? Why do 'rappers' do this crap? Is it because they ruined their name by doing stupid shit for years and want a fresh start? Remember Snoop Lion? Geeez!

Yeah that looks like a total setup, bullshit. Man should have security with him.

Yep, a setup.

It's got nothing to do with being a rapper or having a reputation and everything to do with ego.

 

[zeorhymer]

At first I didn't understand why the headline said "formerly." Then I remembered that he changed it to "Ye" or something. In any case, he's got money and lawyers and hopefully will crush those peons.

 

[NickFire]

Could Kanye really beat up another adult (who didn't want to be beaten up) even if Kanye was determined to do that? He seems about as intimidating as a field mouse to me.

Oh geez. I forgot about that whole deal.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Thanks God he never was part of Nintendo project.

I thought he changed his name due to some dispute over the rights to his catalog or something.

Ye can do no wrong, these people were clearly hired by the Clinton’s to defame the next POTUS

Prince's BIRTH name is Prince Rogers Nelson. When he moved from one record company to another, his original record company told him he couldn't use his own name and continue to make music. In response, he changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, which forced everyone to either keep calling him Prince or refer to him as "the artist formerly known as prince."

It was honestly a smart move designed to fight a BS situation.

Your nose must be cleaner than a whistle if you ever even entertained the thoughts of "certain people".

You can sell drugs to school children, and be a media darling if you support the "correct beliefs".
