Kanye West teases second interview with Justin Laboy
The two first sparked a wave of reactions in April 2024 when they aired their inaugural interview on 'The Download,' with Ye holding nothing back, making bold statements about rappers and the music industry.
On Tuesday night, West shared a cryptic 13-second teaser for the follow-up interview, offering no hints about its content. The trailer shows Ye and Laboy laughing hysterically, leaving fans guessing about what was so funny. The lack of context sparked a flurry of speculation in the comments, with one fan joking, 'Ye is laughing at us for believing the album release dates.' Another suggested, 'Laughing to the bank,' while a third referenced his billionaire status, calling it a 'Billionaire laugh.'
Jim Jones, who has been hanging out with Ye and Laboy in Japan, reposted the clip, warning followers that 'Nothin will never be the same.' Laboy shared the teaser on his Instagram Story with the caption, '2 WORDS… S### SERIOUS!!' The new interview will be released at 2:00 P.M. on February 2 on Yeezy.com.
Given the unpredictability of their first conversation—where Ye made explosive comments about J. Cole, Drake, and more—fans are eager to see what revelations this new episode will bring.

Kanye West reportedly receiving treatment at mental health clinic in Spain
Kanye West, now known as Ye, is reportedly receiving treatment at a luxury mental health clinic in Mallorca, Spain, amid ongoing legal issues and public backlash linked to his recent behaviour and controversial statements. According to RadarOnline, the 47-year-old rapper checked into The Balance Rehab Clinic, a high-end wellness facility known for its discreet treatment programs and amenities, including private therapy, yoga sessions, and gourmet cuisine. The clinic reportedly charges $170,000 per week. Ye's wife, Bianca Censori, is said to be staying with him during his treatment. Court documents filed as part of a wrongful termination lawsuit by former employee Benjamin Provo reportedly disclosed West's location. The legal filing adds to a series of issues facing the rapper, whose reputation and business ties have suffered significantly in recent years following a series of inflammatory and antisemitic remarks. Ye has openly admitted to struggles with mental health and substance use, including a dependency on nitrous oxide. His behaviour drew heightened concern in February 2025 after he posted 'I'm a Nazi' and other offensive statements on X (formerly Twitter). The posts were widely condemned and subsequently removed. Despite undergoing treatment in Spain, Ye made a surprise appearance at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial in New York on June 13. He reportedly entered the Manhattan courthouse alongside Christian 'King' Combs and observed the proceedings from an overflow room to avoid disrupting the courtroom, remaining for about 40 minutes before departing. Earlier this year, Ye faced widespread criticism after airing a Super Bowl commercial advertising a $20 T-shirt, labelled 'HH-01,' which many interpreted as a reference to 'Heil Hitler.' The stunt led Shopify to shut down his store. South Korean retailer Coupang also cancelled a concert and pulled Yeezy products following the release of a track titled 'Heil Hitler,' which was later removed from streaming platforms.

Ye South Korea concert canceled amid controversies, streaming bans, and public backlash
Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, will no longer be performing in South Korea later this month. His concert at Incheon Munhak Main Stadium, originally scheduled for May 31, 2025, has been officially canceled. Ticketing platform Interpark Global announced the cancellation on its website, citing 'recent controversies' involving the artist. 'We regret to inform you that the 'YE LIVE IN KOREA' concert… has been canceled due to recent controversies involving the artist Kanye West (YE),' the statement reads. 'We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause. All purchased tickets will be automatically canceled, and full refunds will be processed sequentially.' Reuters also confirmed the cancellation on May 19, noting the involvement of South Korean e-commerce company Coupang in the scrapped event. The decision follows a series of contentious incidents involving Ye in recent months. The rapper has come under fire for making anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ remarks across his social media platforms. Earlier this month, Ye claimed that his song 'Heil Hitler' was banned from all major streaming services. In a post on X, he criticized what he sees as inconsistency in censorship policies, writing: 'Heil Hitler by Ye has been banned by all digital streaming platforms… While Rednecks by Randy Newman remains streamable. They're literally keeping the n—-s down.' His most recent media appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored ended abruptly after Ye walked off the set following a heated exchange. Before leaving, he defended his public persona and contributions to music and culture. As of now, Ye has not issued a public response to the concert cancellation. He was recently seen in Mallorca, Spain, alongside his wife Bianca Censori and social media figures Sneako and Digital Nas.
