Tensions are rising in the music world as Kanye West, now known as Ye, finds himself at odds with rapper Carti following a series of posts and reactions involving his daughter, North West.
Things took a heated turn when Carti publicly responded to Ye after the rapper expressed frustration about Carti’s desire to collaborate with his daughter. On Wednesday, Carti posted a direct message on X (formerly Twitter): “YE, STFU [shut the f*** up].” The post followed Carti’s earlier attempt to reach out to Kim Kardashian, expressing interest in working with her 11-year-old daughter, North.
The drama began when Carti posted on X, tagging Kim Kardashian: “TELL ME[sic] NIECE NORTH SEND ME A SONG.” Kim shared the message on her Instagram story, fueling further speculation about a potential collaboration with the young aspiring artist.
Ye quickly reacted, commenting, “HEY NORTH YOUR DAD GAVE ME MY BIGGEST SONG AND CO SIGN AND I LEFT HIM OFF OF MY ALBUM BECAUSE OF HIS TWEETS.” He then added, “OH BUT NORTH YOU MY NIECE I GOTTA USE YOUR VOCALS.”
In another post, Ye did not hold back, writing, “I HELD MY TONGUE ABOUT MOT[sic] BEING ON CARTI ALBUM HIM GOING TO MY EX TO ASK MY DAUGHTER TO BE ON A SONG 2 DAYS LATER WAS TOO FAR NOBODY FINNA PLAY WITH ME.”
The exchange between Ye and Carti escalated just after the release of Ye’s new track Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine. The growing tension between the two artists continues to capture the attention of fans and industry insiders alike.
