However controversial Ye may have seemed in the past or even at present, the fact is that he’s living his best life surrounded by “loved ones.”

“This is the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” the rapper recently told Hybebeast during an interview. “I’m with my wife, with Aus Taylor, my visual director at Yzy, with Dov Charney. All year, I’ve been with loved ones, doing it independently ourselves.
