TikTok user @lockerblocker20 recently came across a hoard of Ye merch during a live stream. They found boxes of everything from performance costumes to Yeezy design notes to recording equipment. The latter of which caught the attention of Ye's former collaborator Mike Dean.

In the comments of one of the videos, Dean asked: “Is there a Mike Dean case out there?” to which the creator replied: “No”.
However, there was an Ensoniq ASR 10 keyboard named “Tarik” as well as headphones and microphones. There were also boxes of costumes and masks from the 2019 opera Nebuchadnezzar and Sunday Service, along with YZY season catalogs and patent cards.
In December 2022, Mike Dean reposted a message by Swedish House Mafia member Steve Angello reacting Ye's appearance on Alex Jones Information wars where he praised Hitler causing some to speculate that the two had a falling out. “When media attention becomes more important than herself, you're on a slippery slope,” Angello wrote. “Saying provocative things to trigger social media to click and take action is pathetic.”
Then a year later, a fan asked Dean if he wasn't working with the rapper “because of Hitler”. The Houston musician replied, “Because I'm busy with way cooler people.” At the time, Dean was on tour with The Weeknd. Which he had to remind another fan who claimed he was 'not invited' to work on Ye's latest, saying: 'Passed thanks. In a little tour” of the now-deleted tweets.
There is no word on whether the storage locker belongs to Ye or one of his team.
