Add "artist" to the opening sentence describing him. Kanye West is the greatest artist of the 21st century. FeldmarschallGneisenau (talk) 01:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

can you add this text to the "fashion" section in other ventures

Following the termination of the Gap and Adidas collaborations Ye appeared on multiple podcasts doing interviews, blaming Gap and Adidas for not reaching the affordable price points he wanted. On December 13, 2023, he named Gosha Rubchinskiy as Head of Design at Yeezy via X, Formerly known as Twitter. . During mid-December a small selection of items were available on the yeezy.com website for varying prices. Then, on February 14, 2024, the price of all items was dropped to USD$20.

Following this, On February 22, 2024, West released several items from his terminated Yeezy Gap collaboration on the yeezy.com website in Europe only, seemingly without permission from Gap. On the same day, he premiered a Super Bowl advertisement for the website, which was a low budget phone recording of West speaking in his car. Shrub4TheDub (talk) 23:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Grammy Award Record
The first paragraph currently says "West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint tenth-most of all time". However, I believe it's actually the joint eleventh-most of all time, according to the cited list. Abhatt349 (talk) 06:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

YE
just like everyone else, Ye has the right to self-determination. Kanye West is a slave name, and should only be refrenced once in the opening line. the page should be changed to Ye (Artist) with all refrences to "Kanye" or "West" being replaced with "Ye". thank you.

 * Please see WP:COMMONNAME. Lunaroxas (talk) 18:31, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Please reverse this as it was before
The following should be in the legal problems section and not at the top of the page after his name and what he does for a living.

"A subject of widespread controversy and public interest, West is a central figure in contemporary pop culture."

The following paragraph was in the introduction and should stay in the introduction and nowhere else.

"One of the world's best-selling music artists with 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint 11th-most of all time and most awarded for any hip hop artist jointly with Jay-Z. His other accolades include a Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award."

Please reverse this, there's no reason for the change. PolishGeico (talk) 15:41, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Not sure if the sentence added by is well-supported by the article body as written ie doesn't approach WP:SYNTH. If it is, I don't see a reason to remove it from the first paragraph. Throast  {  { ping }} me! (talk &#124; contribs) 17:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying can someone put it in the legal problems instead of the first paragraph? No one needs to get rid of it, just move it to the legal problems. If not, please give me access and I can do it myself.
 * Thanks. PolishGeico (talk) 19:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Being "a subject of widespread controversy and public interest" is not a legal issue. Throast  { { ping }} me! (talk &#124; contribs) 19:56, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * It's almost exactly the same as the Taylor Swift article. He is a subject of widespread controversy and public interest, and he is a central figure in contemporary music. And PolishGeico, since when was his awards supposed to stay in the lead? That was never a rule, was it? Also its an extended confirmed article, you yourself cannot edit it, but you can request.  750h+ &#124;   Talk  07:58, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Whoever adds it, please include that the suspect was the other man and not Ye. Don't get it twisted. PolishGeico (talk) 07:08, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
