Ye (formerly Kanye West) has stirred controversy yet again—this time by reigniting a simmering feud with Tyler, The Creator following a candid story involving his son, Saint West. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the music mogul recalled a moment at the Kardashian family’s Christmas party when Saint told Tyler: “My dad is better than you.”
The unfiltered anecdote, delivered without further context, immediately fueled speculation about the fractured relationship between Ye and Tyler—two artists who once shared creative chemistry but are now caught in a downward spiral of public shade and escalating tension.
Ye Takes More Shots at Tyler and Kendrick Lamar
Far from being a passing remark, the post was just one in a series of increasingly confrontational jabs Ye has taken at Tyler in recent weeks. In other posts, Ye labeled Tyler “overrated” and challenged fans to name even one memorable lyric from either Tyler or Kendrick Lamar.
“Name one good Tyler, The Creator bar,” Ye wrote, questioning the lyrical depth of both rappers and suggesting that even his own guest verses outshine their solo work. He further claimed Tyler’s latest project leaned heavily on his own artistic legacy, accusing the younger artist of borrowing from the Yeezy playbook without delivering emotionally resonant music.
A Rift That’s Grown Deeper With Time
This shift in tone is jarring considering the mutual respect the two shared not long ago. Just weeks earlier, Ye and Tyler jointly celebrated A$AP Rocky’s acquittal, with Ye even thanking Tyler for his past support during turbulent personal times. That brief moment of unity now feels like a distant memory.
The tensions appear to have accelerated in March when Ye dismissed Tyler’s discography, claiming it lacked lasting impact. “He checks every artistic box… except making music that actually resonates,” Ye reportedly said, further solidifying the growing divide.
Tyler Has Yet to Respond—But the Silence Speaks Volumes
Despite Ye’s repeated provocations, Tyler, The Creator has remained publicly silent, offering no response to the Christmas party story, the lyrical criticism, or the lingering shadows of Ye’s controversial comments tied to antisemitism and other extremist ideologies.
The silence has only intensified curiosity around whether Tyler will eventually respond—or let Ye’s words hang in the air as part of a larger cultural reckoning between artistry, ego, and authenticity
What’s Next for Ye and Tyler?
As both artists pursue their individual creative paths, their once-solid bond appears to be fracturing beyond repair. For fans, the feud represents more than celebrity drama—it’s a snapshot of how complex, high-stakes relationships in the entertainment world can unravel in full view of the public eye.
Only time will tell whether Ye’s barbs spark a lyrical rebuttal—or if Tyler’s quiet restraint will continue to define his side of the story.
