In his viral interview with DJ Akademiks, Kanye West criticized several of his rap peers, including his former friends Jay-Z, Playboi Cart, and recent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign.
Dressed in a black KKK hood, Ye doubled down on his recent inflammatory comments about Jay-Z.
“JAY-Z, Beyoncé, you ain’t help me when I was having problems with my kids. You could have used your influence. No, your influence is for politics. Your influence is how you could use a n—a you never wanted to sign anyway that Dame signed. You ain’t show up to my first wedding. You ain’t my family. I never had family out here. Everybody knows what I’m saying is true, related to that photo that I put up with my youngest daughter, but everything is like, ‘But you offended JAY-Z.’ F–k him. How much money you think JAY-Z makes off my catalog versus what I make off it? God hurts too. It hurt me that I had to hurt Jay.”
When questioned by DJ Akademiks, Ye admitted that some of his anger stemmed from jealousy. He blasted Playboi Carti for having all of “those features” on his recent MUSIC album and not having him serve as the producer.

“Carti took the blue pill, but he made his name off the red pill. The red pill is the n—as like Neo, the blue pill is the agents. So now Carti is an agent.”
The Chicago native also detailed his fallout with Ty Dolla $ign. He says that following his offensive anti-Semitic rants, they had agreed on Ty releasing a statement denouncing Ye as a “racist.”
“Ty put up the tweet before we landed, he said, ‘I gotta say something.’ I said, ‘Say I’m not racist, but Ye is.’ We agreed upon that. When we landed, he put up, ‘I don’t condone hate speech.’ You letting these n—as put words in your mouth. I 137 X’d his career. Not one, not two, not 20 — 137 X’d it. N—a, you don’t have to denounce me! And if you do, you talk to me about how we’re gonna do it.”
