The Tragedy of Kanye West

Is Kanye West wanting his divorce to entertain you? We speak to Atlantic Journalist, Spenser Kornhaber who has been following Kanye’s career and rise to fame for over 20 years.

Kanye separated from Kim Kardashian in early 2021.

Kardashian began dating SNL star Pete Davidson, 28, in the final months of 2021, prompting Kanye to share posts encouraging his followers to publicly harass Pete.

Is it the spillover from Kardashian’s own brand of fame, which turns living rooms into TV-show sets? The difficulty of knowing how to deal with mental-health crises, which West has experienced in public previously? Or just voyeurism—the fun of watching the Kanye show?
