Kanye ‘Ye’ West is probably one of the most controversial personalities at the moment. The rapper has been neck-deep in controversies after he made certain comments. West has been under media scrutiny for quite some time now. Furthermore, the Yeezy founder has been in a social media war with several other celebrities due to his recent actions. In fact, West’s former sister-in-law, Khloe Kardashian seems to have no tolerance for the rapper anymore.

Amidst all of this, West has now suddenly offered his support to Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving and sports journalist Stephen A. Smith. The musician/fashion designer recently uploaded a photo of Smith on his Instagram account with a caption that indicated Smith to be one of the ‘real ones’.

West wrote, “It?s actually some real ones still alive that ain?t afraid no more I?m with you Time to build our own So the #redmedia can never control or diminish us again.”
