Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has recently addressed a viral sensation circulating on social media: a handwritten bucket list attributed to him. The prolific artist, known for his ventures beyond music, firmly denied the authenticity of the list, clarifying in a rare tweet on X (formerly Twitter) on December 29 that it was not his handwriting. His concise statement, “That so called bucket list is fake It’s not my hand writing,” put an end to the widespread chatter during the holiday season.

The bucket list in question was notably extensive, detailing 36 varied and often eccentric aspirations. These included adventurous goals such as learning to pole dance, climbing a volcano, skydiving, and swimming with sharks. It also featured a significant travel component, listing destinations like Russia, Cambodia, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Brazil, Iceland, and Chile. Beyond personal adventures, the list touched on innovative and design-oriented ideas, such as developing his own line of shampoo and soap, and the ambition to write a book.

The viral nature of the list led to various reactions from fans. While some light-heartedly commented on the more unusual items, like the desire to learn pole dancing, others pressed for what they considered to be Ye’s authentic aspirations, questioning what his true bucket list would entail.

Amidst the social media buzz, Ye has maintained a relatively low profile, focusing on family during the holidays. Reports indicate he spent part of the season in Los Angeles, reuniting with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian to co-parent their four children. He was also photographed with his current wife, Bianca Censori, and his daughter North West, alongside other family members, reinforcing his focus on personal time.

Despite his private holiday activities, Ye did make a public appearance at Deon Cole’s comedy show over the weekend. Invited on stage to converse with the comedian, he revealed that a “new album” is in the pipeline. The specifics of this project remain unclear, with speculation arising whether it is the much-anticipated and previously delayed album ‘Bully’ or an entirely separate musical endeavor.
