"You so extra": Fans react to Kanye West's latest X post calling himself "the best king"

Kanye West has referred to himself by different names and titles in the past. He has called himself Yeezus, Black Jesus, The Greatest Artist of All Time, The Future President, and more. In one of his latest X posts, Kanye called himself a "king." His exact words were:

"For everyone on this planet It’s ok that there is a king and ok that the king is me I’ll be the best king we’ve had Watch," Ye posted on April 24, 2025.

While Ye fans and netizens are familiar with Kanye West's X rants at this point, some were confused about what he meant by calling himself a king. A few others readily accepted West as their king and expressed it in the comments. While a few others are tired of seeing Kanye's random X posts without any context. One user commented:

"Can’t keep up with you You so extra" - @caesarnodes wrote.
