Kanye West’s return to social media has been nothing if not revolutionary. Spouting woke words left and right and making announcements about Yeezy, music, and a possible run for president in 2024 has left many fans trying to catch up.
Importantly, buried in a seemingly endless string of tweets, was the news that West and longtime manager Scooter Braun have parted ways. The two have worked together since March 2016.
I no longer have a manager. I can't be managed

In follow up tweets, West explains the move was a part of shifting all his employees in house, including hiring a full-time lawyer, CEO and CFO for Yeezy. Billboard reports that Scooter’s company, SB Projects, will still work with Yeezy, though the two will no longer act under management/client roles.
We have 160 positions to fill by the end of the year. Yeezy will hit a billion dollars this year. It is the 2nd fastest growing company in history. It is a unicorn on its way to becoming a decacorn.

West claims that Yeezy will become a billion dollar company this year.
West also posted a few tweets suggesting that he will be making a run for president in 2024, though any claims like these are to be taken with a mighty grain of salt.
