Kanye West has never been one to shy away from sharing his every thought online—whether it’s a genius insight, a wild conspiracy, or just a random Yeezy shoe mock-up at 3 a.m. But this week, he offered up a new twist to his Twitter saga. In a tweet that felt like a blend of gamer regret and public therapy session, Ye (@kanyewest) wrote:
“If y’all really wanted me to stop tweeting, just take Last of Us from me. I would literally stop tweeting like I was a little kid.”
Underneath that post, one blunt fan, @bat52301, summed it all up:
“You act like a spoiled brat.”
And with that, the floodgates opened. The timeline became a Kanye-themed roast session, with memes and tweets flying faster than Ellie dodging clickers.
Ye links his online behavior to “The Last of Us,” and the internet isn’t letting it go without a meme-filled roast
As expected, the internet's reaction was swift and filled with humor. One user, @yefanatics, set the tone perfectly under Kanye’s original tweet, writing,
"No album? 😭"
The idea of Ye trading bars for boss fights had people concerned, with @_IAmInvictus suggesting a dramatic solution,
"Somebody hide his power cable."
@DaveyJ_ summed up the fanbase’s collective impatience, pleading,
"Put the game down and release an album."
Some speculated on the situation behind the scenes, with @itsYEday hilariously wondering,
"It’s been 14 hrs.. who the hell took his game away?? For the love of god please give it back!"
Of course, the conspiracies didn’t take long to surface. @permabulla suggested something deeper was at play, writing,
"They want to stop you from tweeting truth."
And as always, there was that one grounded soul just trying to get what they paid for, exclaiming,
"Send that merch we all bought damn." -@Weldislifellc
From album hunger to gamer jokes and good ol’ fashioned shade, Ye’s “Last of Us” tweet instantly became a new chapter in the ongoing saga of Kanye vs. the internet.
The backstory: Gaming, ranting, and that one specific tweet
Kanye’s latest confession about "The Last of Us" isn’t just about a game—it’s about his self-awareness (kind of). In his tweet, he implied that gaming keeps him off social media, acting as a digital pacifier of sorts. This is a notable moment given his past Twitter tirades that have spanned everything from music beefs and presidential ambitions to conspiracy theories and controversial opinions that made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
According to his latest statements, Kanye believes he’s calmer when immersed in the world of “The Last of Us,” a post-apocalyptic game that apparently works better than therapy. While there’s no evidence that Joel and Ellie have officially ended any of his past PR disasters, Ye seems convinced they’re doing more for his digital discipline than anyone else.
This all comes amid a fresh wave of tweets from Ye that are slightly less intense than his usual fare—but still totally “Kanye.” He’s mixing game talk with cryptic life updates and merch plugs, giving fans whiplash between laughing, worrying, and wondering if a new album is ever going to drop.
