Despite allegedly being banned from X (formerly known as Twitter, now known as Ye’s personal crashout diary), Ye has returned to the app to gift us another round of his signature word vomit. His latest target? Kendrick Lamar (again). Last month, the Chicago chaos conductor criticized K. Dot’s guest verses on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC and shaded his 2022 Louis Vuitton performance.
However, in a twist worthy of a soap opera, Ye later told DJ Akademiks he was actually just jealous Kendrick made the features list on Carti’s album while he got cut like an out-of-place ad-lib. Of course, this brief moment of vulnerable, “honest Ye” only shows up about as often as a solar eclipse. Now he’s back to doing what he does best: setting the music industry ablaze on social media, and dragging Kendrick along with him in the passenger seat.
Ye thinks he’s being replaced
The newest drama stems from a video accusing K. Dot and SZA of getting a helping hand from (you guessed it) bots, allegedly inflating the YouTube views on the visuals for “luther.”
In a since-deleted rant (shocker), Ye shared his extremely calm and rational take on the situation.
“Look man when I was dropping Graduation I had the whole building behind me too. That’s the way this profession is…He got 24 Grammies. They are strategically trying to erase what I did and earned with n***** that won’t even be remembered 100 years from now. I’m by faaaarrr the most important artist of our lifetime. Everyone that works with the Super Bowl and Grammies can suck my d*** forewvvveeeerrr n****,” Ye said.
If Kendrick’s 2024 run taught us all that we’re not hating hard enough, then Ye’s latest conspiracy theory is a masterclass in delusional confidence. Lesson number one: Ye is never the problem. Lesson number two: no one can be more successful than Ye. Lesson number three: Ye is, objectively and eternally, the “most important artist of our lifetime.”
As for Kendrick? The Compton native has remained silent. There’s been no official statement or cryptic IG Story. However, the internet has been loud, reminding Ye that just because he has an X account doesn’t mean he should use it.
