Ye (formerly Kanye West) has accomplished many eccentric things outside of music, but the rapper says the bucket list attributed to him that’s currently going viral on social media is fake.

Chatter around the viral handwritten bucket list made it back to Yeezy this holiday season, so he took to X on Monday night (Dec. 29) with a rare tweet clarifying that it wasn’t actually created by him.

“That so called bucket list is fake It’s not my hand writing,” he wrote.

The bucket list in question is filled with random goals — 36 to be exact — like learning to pole dance, climbing a volcano, skydiving, swimming with sharks and visiting places like Russia, Cambodia, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu, Brazil, Iceland and Chile.

On the innovation and design side, there were ideas like creating his own shampoo and soap line, as well as writing a book.

“It’s ok about wanting to learn how to pole dance we won’t judge,” one fan quipped. “Nah but deada— we need the real Ye bucket list.”

Ye has been lying low while spending time with family this holiday season. TMZ reported that he spent part of the holidays reuniting with ex-wife Kim Kardashian as they co-parent their four children in the same space in Los Angeles. And another photo surfaced of Ye with his wife, Bianca Censori, and daughter North West, along with other alleged family members.

Ye also pulled up to Deon Cole’s comedy show over the weekend, where, after being invited on stage to chat with the comic, he confirmed he has a “new album” on the way. It’s unclear if that project is the much-delayed Bully or a completely separate LP.
