Just three years back, Kanye West was dwelling on the fringes after his toxic rhetoric against the Jewish community had him booted out of the mainstream industry.
But years after years of reforms he supposedly carried out on his own, he bounced back into the main scene.
At least that is what Complex’s #ReRank attests to.
It is a ranking by readers who vote on who is “Hottest Rapper Right Now.”
West has surged to the top spot after his back-to-back shows in his hometown, Chicago.
The Donda hitmaker is seemingly ruling the roost since his shows last April at SoFi Stadium.
In a marvelous spectacle, he brought the globe he declared to conquer to Earth and made it his stage.
The response to his concerts was electric. Reports at the time said West sold more tickets than any other show held at the stadium.
Further, Ye’s shows also became the top-grossing concerts in SoFi’s history.
In addition, the Grammy-winning rapper’s latest album, Bully, also helped him boost his numbers.
However, regaining his fame does not mean the effects of his previous controversies have faded.
The cancellation of the Wireless Festival in the UK and, after that, several countries axing West’s concerts are examples.
