Ye shuts down a viral handwritten “bucket list,” calling it fake and saying it’s not his handwriting as fans debate its wild goals.
Ye is clearing the air after a handwritten “bucket list” said to belong to him started spreading fast across social media. The list, packed with adventurous and unexpected goals, caught fans’ attention — but according to Ye, it has nothing to do with him.
The rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, addressed the rumors directly on X late Monday night, Dec. 29. In a rare and straightforward post, Ye made it clear that the viral list was not created by him. “That so called bucket list is fake. It’s not my hand writing,” he wrote, shutting down speculation almost instantly.

The list in question features 36 different goals, many of them bold and random. Some include skydiving, swimming with sharks, climbing a volcano, and even learning how to pole dance. Other items focus on travel, with destinations like Russia, Cambodia, Brazil, Iceland, Chile, Machu Picchu, and the Great Wall of China mentioned. There are also creative ideas on the page, such as writing a book and launching his own shampoo and soap line.
Because the list appeared handwritten, many fans assumed it was authentic, especially given Ye’s long history of surprising projects and unpredictable moves. Still, once Ye spoke out, most fans accepted his explanation. Some even joked about it online. One fan wrote that learning to pole dance wouldn’t be judged anyway, while another said they were more interested in seeing Ye’s “real” bucket list someday.
The moment comes during a quieter period for Ye, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight this holiday season. Reports say he spent time in Los Angeles with his family, including reuniting with ex-wife Kim Kardashian as they co-parent their four children together. Photos also surfaced showing Ye with his wife, Bianca Censori, and daughter North West, suggesting a more low-key family-focused break.
Despite laying low, Ye still managed to spark excitement over the weekend. He attended comedian Deon Cole’s show and briefly joined him on stage. During their conversation, Ye confirmed that he has a new album on the way. While he didn’t share details, fans were quick to wonder whether it’s his long-delayed project Bully or something entirely new.
For now, Ye seems focused on correcting false stories, spending time with loved ones, and quietly preparing his next musical move — all while reminding fans not to believe everything they see online.
