Ye’s getting personal about his childhood.
The artist formerly known as Kanye West hit up X Monday night to share some private memories from his early years.
“When I was growing up my parents beat me,” he tweeted. “Like when I deserved it…Not in abusive way…I guess.”
He added, “I’d be like, ‘Mom, I’m really upset. I didn’t get the starter hat to go with the jacket you just bought me,’ and then I got backhanded out the blue…Just seems like that wouldn’t be woke.”
Ye’s been going wild on X lately. Over the weekend, he compared two of his biggest albums, The Life of Pablo and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
“The Life of Pablo is waaaay better than My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” he posted. “Go song for song.”
Ye also tweeted that he actually dislikes the latter album: “I hate My Dark Beautiful Fantasy Like haaaaaate that album,” he wrote. “I made Dark Fantasy out of fear and to prove something it was as like ‘coming back from the Taylor Swift moment’ I should have just leaned in more.”
Still, he admitted to having some favorites from it, like “Blame Game” and “Devil in a New Dress.” Then he randomly wrote, “If I just had ten more minutes that one time in the studio with Beyoncé.” This mysterious comment was followed by him declaring he “obviously hates Jay-Z.”
