Kanye West is a poet and he didn't even know it — and according to his "latest creation," he's also dead.
The rapper on Tuesday shared a strange poem on Instagram titled "Dead," which is about how "no one wanted to tell me I was DEAD." West writes in the poem, "They ran through my account like the sign said free bread. But no one wanted to tell me I was DEAD. My kids would dance for me in a home I once led. But kids see ghosts and didn't know I was DEAD."
