A Kanye West co-sign can also come with a lot of headaches.

Kanye West is an artist who has the power to make or break someone's entire career. Overall, he has been doing this for a couple of decades at this point. Kid Cudi, Travis Scott, and even T-Pain to an extent are artists that have been aided by the Kanye co-sign. However, others have been hurt by it, such as Desiigner. Regardless, fans love to work with Ye for obvious reasons. Despite his recent controversies, he still offers artists a platform to take off. This is especially true for those who are barely starting out in the game.

One such artist is none other than 4batz. 4batz came to prominence and virality thanks to his From The Block Performance. Although he only has a couple of songs out, these tracks have blown up with millions of listens on Spotify. Just a couple of weeks ago, Ye found himself on FaceTime with the young star. Furthermore, in a recent Paparazzi video taken by Backgrid, Kanye offered up yet another co-sign to 4batz.

Unfortunately for the young artist, this has subsequently led to some questions about the authenticity of his come-up. With so much attention going to him so soon, Twitter users are already calling him an "industry plant." Numerous artists have been accused of this in the past. Even Kanye himself has been called one. Furthermore, there is a leaked XXL list that claims 4batz will be featured. This has only bolstered those detractors, and you can see their reactions, in the tweets below.

Fans Question Authenticity

Beating the "industry plant" allegations will be tough. However, 4batz has proven that he is a unique artist. Hopefully, he continues to drop great music.
