Most people did not believe that he could maintain his career, nevertheless, he achieved his goals and proved his critics wrong. When he made it big in both producing and rapping, he wanted to create his own brand Yeezy. This shoe brand climbed the charts and became the most searched brand on Google and other resale apps. A few months later, he married Kim Kardashian and has four kids. He has had many negative experiences with the media and numerous controversies. Despite all this, Kanye West leads a successful life and is happy in his family and community.
