Image: Kanye posts texts with Megan Fox and disses MGK in an Instagram post that is now deleted😳
https://x.com/lottareds/status/2031838020786077992
No, these screenshots are fake. They’re edited memes styled like iMessage convos (with Apple Pay requests) posted as if from Kanye’s IG “ye” account. The “The Life of Pablo” album cover is photoshopped with Megan Fox pics—real TLOP artwork looks nothing like that. No news outlets or credible sources report Kanye posting/deleting anything like this today. Just viral bait using today’s Megan Fox IG buzz. 😏
