Few people have the remarkable ability to steal thunder, generate a buzz around everything they do and attract a great deal of attention.

Anytime Elon Musk makes a move and shares his numerous plans and ideas, the world watches and listens with bated breath.

The same goes for Jeff Bezos, the Kardashians and Drake, to name a few. However, no one is quite as magnetic as the polymath Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West.

The multi-disciplinary artist found himself on the popular podcast Drinks Champs for the third time.

This time he sat down for three hours and shared his thoughts in a zealous, zany, and controversial manner, releasing all the things that his acolytes are used to.

During the marathon conversation, Ye pulled out his verbal sniper and took aim at a number of people and belief systems. Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Jewish Zionists and even our very own Trevor Noah found themselves in the firing line.

He took a shot at poor Pete by saying that it seems “the 78 media outlets that called me an abuser when I was tryna get that heroin addict away from my kids that was tattooing my kids’ names on him, Skete, Pete Davidson…”

Then he sought to take one at the ex-The Daily Show host:

Trevor Noah, not even from America, he just looks Black right? Gonna say, yo, Kim it’s gonna get dangerous, he putting all that ‘he so crazy, he’s so OJ’. Ye said.

Maybe Ye has not forgiven the intelligent comedian for some of the comments made on his wildly popular television show. According to the Independent, “Noah addressed West “harassing” Kim Kardashian online as their relationship broke down, and in turn West directed racial slurs against him and was banned from Instagram.”

That’s Ye for ya.

I was (un)lucky enough to watch part of Ye’s three-hour conversation before it was deleted. He spoke circuitously and passionately and was charged with a different kind of energy, to put it lightly, particularly when he spoke about the media, his envy of the Jewish culture as well as his ex-wife.

But it was rather surprising that he essentially questioned Noah’s racial identity – to a degree.

What’s fascinating is the fact that social media was abuzz after Ye’s interview and some people took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

One user wrote: “When it comes to the awareness of black issues and plight here in America, Trevor Noah in many recent years has done more for black people than Kanye West.”

After this interview, who knows what Ye will do next? Will there be another T-shirt drop, more potshots at his wife, Trevor or Jewish folk?

I guess we’ll be waiting and seeing…
