Given Kanye's uh... totally insane and ongoing multi year psychotic break... I'm going with 'lucky to be alive'.

The timestamp here is like a few months before he went off the rails... and/or his meds:

About a week after this timestamp, Kanye did a surprise appearance at the BET awards, praised P Diddy (oh no) for influencing many of his life decisions (ooooh no), and also said he'd been 'legally dead for a year'.

I guess by 'praised P Diddy' I more mean 'blamed him for setting him up with Kim'.

He started the whole 'white lives matter' thing in october, and was divorced from Kim by november.

In December he went on to Infowars with Alex Jones. 'I lovveeeee Hitlerrrrrr!!!!'. While also basically wearing the same thing as he wore at the BET appearance, about a week after this post.

... If this is real, this dude saw something akin to a ghost, like, Kanye, but Kanye's not there anymore, man.

Like literally at the apex of chapter one of the insanity/villain arc.

I remember I was a Kanye fan for about a week when I first heard Stronger. I thought the rapping was dumb, but the beat was awesome, enough to excuse the halfhearted lyrics. Then someone introduced me to Daft Punk, and I learned that everything I liked about Kanye's song was everything he wasn't involved with.

I saw Kanye West at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Kanye is a piece of fucking shit. You should have told him he's a piece of fucking shit, then beat his ass if he got tough with you. And if you lost you could sue his dumb ass. Lesson learned motherfucker.

one time quinton terrintino cut me off on a sidewalk and then gave me a winkgun to apologize and i scoffed at him in the nastiest way i could manage. that shit felt gooood.

I slept with denzel

Take the picture anyway, there's always a chance he'll fly off the handle and hit you or something, then you can sue him. At the very least you get some pictures of angry Kanye, which could be funny. He doesn't deserve respect.
