After riding the boards for quite some time, Kanye West burst onto the rap scene with “Through The Wire,” a song he literally performed with his jaw wired shut after being severely injured in a car accident in 2002. The cut was included on his debut album, 2004’s College Dropout.
Twitter did what Twitter does today by claiming that the whole story was fake and that Yeezy had actually gotten into a fistfight and that’s how he broke his jaw.
Some took the story and ran with it, questioning the validity of West’s original story.
FakeshoreDrive’s Andrew Barber reminds the world wide web of a story from 2010 where West was in a physical confrontation before becoming the ‘Ye he is today. This doesn’t mean the car accident didn’t happen.

Others said ‘Ye’s claims are Gospel and blast those trying to craft a conspiracy theory.
Spin found the lawsuit that was filed against Kanye and others by another man who was reportedly injured in the car crash. The publication also points out that the rapper was hospitalized in Los Angeles, not the Windy City as the conspirators are saying.
West doubters had extra reason to come at the Life of Pablo creator after Kid Cudi put him and Drake on blast yesterday, claiming they do not give him enough credit. ‘Ye promptly responded at the Tampa stop of his Saint Pablo tour, telling the former G.O.O.D. Music signee “I birthed you!”
