Before attending the ceremony, Ye acknowledged his nomination on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the recognition. His track “Carnival”—featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid, and Playboi Carti—is up for Best Rap Song, adding another milestone to his storied career. The nomination comes amid renewed attention on Ye’s creative output, as anticipation builds for his upcoming album. Speaking to his audience on a recent stream, Cenat shared that Ye has been in high spirits, likely due to his album’s impending release.
“I was on the phone with Ye,” Cenat revealed. “He’s ready for me to come to Japan. We gotta hurry up and do that. He’s in a great mood, bro. I think he’s happy because of the album and everything. This could all be a big prank—I don’t know.” He continued: “It’s crazy, bro. We’ve been talking almost every day. Never would I have thought I’d be able to say that.”
