Ye, formerly Kayne West, is one of the most accomplished rappers of all time, having sold over 160 million records throughout his career. He’s also nabbed two dozen Grammy Awards and many other accolades, so Ye has a lot to celebrate. Unfortunately for anyone in earshot, his laughter is annoyingly brief, which comes off as intimidating and a bit disturbing. Compilations of his laughter show him laughing with huge smiles, only to quickly cut them short into a grim frown.
That kind of laughter appears fake, seeing as he can turn it on and off very quickly. Most people don’t laugh like that, and there are numerous clips of Ye laughing more genuinely, where he smiles and chuckles in a relatively normal manner. This particular laugh isn’t annoying, as it’s seemingly genuine and, in a word, normal.
Unfortunately, Ye tends to laugh and appear angry in most instances, and that’s the laugh people remember. While appearing on “Kris,” he laughed with a huge smile before donning a furious face, and he often returns his setting from smiling to scowling when he notices himself laughing in public. He does this because, according to Ye, “It just wouldn’t look as cool.”
