Kanye West Is Taking ‘A Year Off’ – Vory Says

Kanye West Is Reportedly Taking ‘A Year Off’

Vory, one of Kanye West’s frequent collaborators, says Ye is taking a year off.

“The person who made me realize my twisted thoughts weren’t so twisted was Ye, because we think alike. I was just talking to him today,” Vory said to Complex.

“We’ve been talking through my best friend who’s also his assistant, because he hasn’t been wanting to talk to anybody. He’s taking a year off, and he was like, ‘Damn, you think Vory is going to be mad at me if I don’t go to his release party?’ And I was like, ‘Nah, you’re straight, bro.’ He’s battling his own sh-t. That’s my dog, I learned a lot from him.”

Ye has been divorced, ended two other relationships and put out two huge albums over the past year. He’s also had a very public beef with Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

Kanye posted a video depicting him decapitating Pete and was accused of harassing Kim.

Ye is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential hip hop musicians of all time, as well as one of the greatest musicians of his generation. Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West gained recognition as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing singles for several artists and developing the “chipmunk soul” sampling style.

Intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, he released his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and commercial success. West subsequently founded his record label GOOD Music later that same year.
