Ye's YouTube channel, still under the name Kanye West, seems to have been hacked, leading to a series of unsanctioned track uploads that have caused confusion among casual listeners.

According to Complex.com, over the past 24 hours, several tracks have been uploaded, including "Super Starred," "Dem Guys," "06 Beat 06," "All I Need," "Fight With the Best," and "Mind Your Business." While these uploads have puzzled many, longtime fans recognize them from Ye’s beats catalog from the late 1990s and the Go Getters compilation.

One of the standout uploads, "Super Starred," also known as "Floating," is believed to have originated from sessions in 2018, the same year Ye released his album "Ye" and worked on projects for Pusha T, Nas, Teyana Taylor, and his joint release with Kid Cudi, "Kids See Ghosts." 

Complex.com reached out to Ye’s representatives for comment on the situation. This recent hack follows a similar incident in February, where Ye and Ty Dolla Sign’s artist bio on Apple Music was altered to include a mention of YouTube critic Anthony Fantano, who had harshly criticized their album "Vultures." Despite plans for a trilogy, "Vultures" remains the only release from the duo.

In the midst of these issues, Ye's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" continues to receive acclaim. Last month, it was featured in Apple Music's list of the 100 Best Albums. The situation with Ye's YouTube channel remains unresolved as fans and followers await an official statement.
