so seeing the chine lp got me noticing that ye is pretty particular about using a version of the ¥ "yen" sign that specifically doesnt have the tail extending past the second line. im not sure from where this symbol comes from or if its even unicode

whats got me thinking is that without the extended stroke it kinda looks like a f***ed version of the chinese character wang, which means king. as in "still the king"

the character wang is three horizontal strokes with a center stroke 王

the three horizontal strokes represent heaven, humanity and earth with the king connecting the three. by inflecting the first stroke down to the point of contact of the second, the symbol suggests a visitation or connection of a man with heaven, not just divine right to rule but a god-king

the above speculation comes from me not really understanding the chinese language and speculating but its the exact kind of megalomania i expect from ye

I feel like he’ll explain this in the 50th minute of a controversial interview. Interesting tho

Maybe time for bed

Reach but if true the 3 stripes probably reminded him of adidas
