Ye has already had a pretty busy February. He pulled up to the Grammys on February 2 with his wife, Bianca Censori, and finally met an elated Kai Cenat. When it was time for pictures, Ye posted for the camera as Censori decided to show the world her physique.
However, despite the rumors, Ye didn’t get kicked out of the awards ceremony, but he has a new beef with former CNN host Don Lemon (who allegedly started the rumor). Lemon released his POV of the situation the next day, but the rapper has yet to respond.
Then, Ye’s highly anticipated interview with Justin LaBoy on his podcast The Download had its official premiere at Ye’s Grammys after-party.
Don’t count out Drake just yet
During the episode, Ye reflected on competing with Drizzy throughout the years and shared his thoughts on the Drake/Kendrick beef.
“It was really challenging for me to make ‘Father Stretch My Hands’ and different things, and this man got ‘Work’ a top five song ever created in life, and we doing the drums bringing Metro [Boomin] on,” Ye said.
LaBoy then declared that “Kendrick killed Drake.” However, the rapper clarified that he doesn’t think it’s for good.
“…You can’t ever count out Steph Curry. That man might get 200 points in one song or something. You know what it was is, like, look at the Tyler, the Creator freestyle that he did. ‘That Guy,’ right? Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency. He advanced us. Future advanced us. And now, Kendrick has advanced the frequency … If you don’t really learn as just a professional rapper, as a sport, what Kendrick is doing, you might be wiped. You might be wiped out,” Ye said.
Ye spills more BULLY details
The rapper also made sure to talk about his upcoming project (inspired by his son Saint, who is featured on the cover) during the interview, exclusively revealing that it will drop on North West’s birthday (June 15) since it’s “her favorite album.”
Unfortunately for some fans, though, Ye-AI is here to stay. He confirmed that the technology will be used on the album and defended this decision with an interesting comparison.
“People are like, ‘Stay away from AI.’ It’s a more negative reaction than Auto-Tune. I remember I did Auto-Tune ’cause people thought, ‘Man, this Auto-Tune is trash… As an artist, I can take anything. I can sell a piece of shit for $10 million. [AI] is in the same family [as Auto-Tune], except people have a more visceral reaction,” the rapper said.
He then played a snippet of an unreleased track that uses AI to replicate his vocals.
Despite the recent chaos, fans are ready for Ye to drop his next big album — which will hopefully be fully mixed and mastered.
