Ye has been temporarily banned on X, telling Dave Blunts to “alert the masses” because “this is more important than the album.” Aside from being unironically funny, it’s the conclusion of a very long tweetathon.
While using X like his personal diary, Ye’s ever-growing opp list has been longer than the list of countries on which Trump slapped tariffs. In one of his last rants (pre-ban), he apologized to Jay-Z (kind of) for comments about his family, came at Frank Ocean (again), and confirmed for the 1,000th time that he won’t let his beef with Taylor Swift go.
Ye says he’s sorry (but not really)
On March 21, Ye boldly declared on X that he would “never apologize to the Carters.” Fast forward to April 10, and he walked that back—sort of—in a now-deleted X post apologizing to Hov.
After getting that off his chest, he went back to storytelling, trolling, and dragging more artists into the fold. During an April 8 livestream with producer Digital Nas, Ye brought up Frank Ocean—again (he already came for Frank in a previous convo with DJ Akademiks). This time, Ye claimed Frank tried to talk him out of supporting current U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Frank Ocean p**** a** come over my house talking about Trump all day and how I shouldn’t support Trump,” he said. “N**** f*** you know about politics and n**** I’m your mother****** senior, OG, y’all used to come on tour with me,” he said.
But he wasn’t done yet. Ye also reignited his long-running feud with Taylor Swift—their 2009 VMAs beef is apparently immortal.
In a since-deleted post, the rapper gave the world “an example of racism. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles f**ked Taylor Swift from both sides and didn’t call me…ON EVERYTHIIING THIS TWEET IS ONE THOUSAND PERCENT TRUE.”
In response, Swift allegedly pursued legal action and issued a cease and desist letter to the rapper, although no official sources have confirmed it yet.
This isn’t the first time Ye has spoken about Swift in disturbing terms. On his 2016 track “Famous,” he famously rapped about wanting to sleep with her and featured a wax figure of her lying in bed next to him, Kim Kardashian, Trump, and others.
