Kanye West Shocks Fans With Disturbing Funeral Plans and Death References

Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West has sent shockwaves through his fanbase with a series of deeply troubling social media posts outlining his funeral wishes. The 47-year-old artist, who legally changed his name to Ye, appears to be continuing a concerning pattern of erratic online behavior that has many questioning his current state of mind.

Kanye’s Disturbing Funeral Planning Details

In what can only be described as a macabre turn to his already controversial social media presence, Ye shared explicit details about how he envisions his own funeral. The posts appeared amid an ongoing stream of attacks directed at his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, as well as fellow music industry icons Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

“My funeral needs to be at least a week long,” West wrote in the alarming post. “A 10 hour service everyday so people can speak aaaall the way through. It actually needs be nooo limit.” The rapper didn’t stop there, adding even more unsettling requests: “Embalm me. Put me on display at my mamas house and let people visit me. Charge people to come in and use the money to enrich all the blocks around.”

Hints of Paranoia in Concerning Posts

Perhaps most disturbing was West’s apparent reference to fears for his safety. In one cryptic message, he wrote: “Why do n***@ be calling you to kill you I be like It doesn’t work that way.” This statement has amplified fan concerns about the artist’s mental state and personal safety.

In a second post about funeral arrangements, Ye added: “Funerals should be where n***@ can talk as long as they want but also n***@ can leave when they want.” The string of posts reflects what seems to be a fixation on death and legacy that has emerged amid his broader social media controversies.

Fan Reaction: Concern Over Ye’s Mental Health

The reaction from fans has been swift and emotional, with many expressing deep concern for the rapper’s wellbeing. One particularly poignant comment captured the general sentiment: “Please stop. Continue tweeting but not about Ye passing. It hurts my soul to my soles.”

This is far from the first time West’s social media behavior has sparked mental health concerns. The artist has previously been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis, though he has sometimes rejected the characterization of his behaviors as symptoms of mental health challenges.

Mental health experts often caution that public speculation about celebrities’ psychological states can be problematic, but many close to West have expressed worry about his wellbeing in recent years as his public persona has become increasingly erratic.

A Pattern of Controversial Behavior

These latest concerning posts follow weeks of Kanye directing highly inflammatory remarks toward Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children. His ongoing social media attacks have targeted not just his ex-wife but also other high-profile figures in the entertainment industry.

The rapper’s relationship with social media has been tumultuous over the years. He has frequently used platforms like Twitter (now X) and Instagram to air grievances, make announcements, or share stream-of-consciousness thoughts that later become major news stories or controversies.

The Impact on Kanye’s Legacy and Family

While West remains one of the most influential artists of his generation, with 24 Grammy Awards and numerous critically acclaimed albums, his recent behavior has increasingly overshadowed his musical and fashion accomplishments. Industry insiders have noted that his erratic social media presence and controversial statements have impacted both his business partnerships and public perception.

Of particular concern to many fans is the impact this public behavior might have on West’s four children with Kardashian: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. The former couple has attempted to co-parent effectively despite their high-profile divorce, but West’s public attacks on their mother have complicated this dynamic.

What Happens Next?

As of this writing, neither representatives for West nor his ex-wife Kim Kardashian have commented on these latest disturbing posts. Fans continue to express their concern and support for the artist online, with many hoping he will seek help if needed.

Mental health advocates remind us that public figures struggling with their mental wellbeing deserve compassion and privacy. However, West’s choice to share these deeply personal thoughts on a public platform has inevitably drawn attention and worry from those who care about his wellbeing.

Whatever the motivation behind these latest posts, one thing remains clear: Kanye West continues to be one of the most unpredictable and controversial figures in entertainment, with each new social media statement generating waves of reaction from fans and critics alike.
