Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has once again set the music industry abuzz with a series of explosive social media posts, this time taking aim at rapper Playboi Carti and his longtime collaborator JAY-Z. The controversial artist vented his frustrations over personal and professional betrayals, particularly in relation to his family and career.
A Fiery Message for Playboi Carti
In a direct and incendiary message on X, Ye accused Playboi Carti of crossing boundaries, particularly with regard to his daughter, North. “This is my daughter, not your niece,” Ye declared, challenging Carti’s attempts to engage with his child. His tone was confrontational and filled with urgency, warning Carti not to involve himself in his family matters. “Don’t mess with me, boy! You’re allowing external forces to pit us against each other,” Ye raged, hinting at manipulation within the industry that fuels these tensions. He boldly stated that he would “end” Carti’s career if necessary, further stating, “I will and I am going to.”
Ye’s comments didn’t stop there. He accused Carti of being the “number one deadbeat on the planet next to Future,” underscoring his frustrations with both Carti’s actions and the broader entertainment industry’s impact on his personal life.
Tensions with JAY-Z Resurface
Shifting focus to his complex relationship with JAY-Z, Ye reflected on feelings of abandonment during their collaboration on Watch The Throne. Expressing vulnerability, he lamented, “I’ve always felt like the black sheep.” He recounted moments where he felt overlooked, such as JAY-Z’s decision to promote Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl over him, sparking deeper resentments about their fractured friendship.

For Ye, the disappointment with JAY-Z goes beyond professional decisions. He revealed feelings of neglect, particularly when he needed support during significant moments in his life. “They could have used their cultural position to support me rather than let the Kardashians overshadow my efforts,” Ye stated, citing instances where he felt alone despite being surrounded by influential figures. This sense of abandonment appears to have deeply affected him, with Ye expressing how much it hurt not to have JAY-Z’s backing during key events, including his wedding.
A Broader Reflection on Betrayal
Ye’s outburst also included a broader reflection on the emotional toll of fame and relationships. He confessed, “I am in pain that no one person can fix,” hinting at the weight of his personal struggles and the isolation he feels despite his fame. His list of perceived betrayals extended beyond Carti and JAY-Z to include other figures within the industry, indicating a deep sense of disillusionment with those around him.
As the dust settles on this latest tirade, the question remains whether Carti or JAY-Z will respond. However, Ye’s words have already made their mark, ensuring that his voice—no matter how controversial—remains a defining presence in the music world.
