After another clean sweep of his Instagram feed, Kanye West decided to make his return to posting, a poetic one. First with a somber poem about "DIVORCE", which he followed up with a rather bleak and ominous poem titled “DEAD,” in which he writes about coming to the realization that he’s already dead, in fact he was murdered.

"No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD / And only people that would talk to me were in my head. No one wanted to tell me I was DEAD / Only people who loved me visit in their dreams instead.”
At another point he seemingly negates any media coverage about him with they line, "Everything was wrong in the press that I read."
The poem goes on to allude to his divorce from Kim Kardashian and their estranged relationship that has subsequently lead to unwanted distance from his children since she lives alone with them in their former family home. Ye writes, “My kids would dance for me in a home I once led.”
By the end of the poem, Yeezy poetically reveals in just how he met his demise. “I found out one day at the newsstand in pergatory [sic] there was a front page article of my murderers [sic] story,” he writes. “I was so surprised at what it said / This info is for the living / And surprise… You’re DEAD.”
If you’re wondering, who done it? Sorry, but Ye does not identify the murderer. And as for what the poem means, well, Ye who’s been recently questioned for his creative choices after releasing the music video for “Eazy”, took the opportunity to not explain himself to those concerned about his artistic methods.
“I feel already compromised that I have to justify my expression after over 20 years of art that I’ve contributed to the planet,” West wrote. “But I also see the need to make sure we as a species are allowed to still feel anything Men not allowed to cry celebrities not allowed to cry I will not explain this new piece for the explanation destroys the mystery and magic of true love and puts it in a box that can be counted Art is subjective Art only works when it is the artist absolute truth Someone’s truth can be another persons lie We don’t all have to feel the same because we are not the same With out further ado I present to you my latest creation it is called DEAD.”
