In early October 2022, Kanye West held his Paris fashion show. There, he was spotted wearing a shirt that bore the phrase “White Lives Matter.” The rapper and record producer was also seen with the frequent controversy stirrer, Candace Owens. Unsurprisingly, she also donned the same shirt in white. Knowing the sentiments that phrase carries, it’s no surprise that there was immediate backlash. 

One of the celebrities who called West out was Boosie. He tweeted: “@kanyewest AFTER ALL WE BEEN THROUGH AS A RACE YOU PUT THIS DISRESPECTFUL SHIT ON!! U GIVES NO FUCKS ABOUT HOW BLACKS HAVE DIED N SUFFERED TO THE HANDS OF THE WHITE MAN. N U SAY BUSH DONT LIKE BLACK PEOPLE…REALLY NIGGA.” A few days later, Kanye responded to Boosie’s tweet with a now-deleted tweet. He wrote: “Speak to me. Yeah little nerd ass me come smack me or come shoot me. I’m the one that got bullied by the entire black celebrity community now I’m back to shoot the school up.”

On October 7, 2022, Meek Mill joined the conversation and called Kanye West. He wrote a long post on his Instagram story speaking on how he felt about West’s tweet against Boosie. He wrote: “I used to listen to ye every night and jail for motivation on god. And came home and watched him shit on my name and brand like nothing. I ain’t say nothing, but I been knew you was on that nerd tryna shit on street N***as you just said it to Boosie… it hurts my heart to even know some of y’all this crazy and lame.”

October 16, 2022: The Infamous Drink Champs Interview

Days after Meek Mill’s Instagram statement, Kanye West went on Drink Champs. The entire interview was filled with outlandish comments from West, which caused the video to be taken down soon after it was uploaded. He not only made false claims about George Floyd’s death, but also made several anti-Semitic comments. To top it all off, Kanye brought also up Meek Mill’s name, labeling Meek a fed. “All you fake hard n***as, fuck you,” he said. “You can’t shoot nobody anyway, and the only reason you talk is because you did a deal you fucking fed.”

November 20, 2022: “God Did”

By November, Meek Mill released his freestyle music video for the track, “God Did.” The track centered on Meek Mill’s triumphs and tribulations. On it, he reflected on his modest origins, advocacy for prison reform, and subtle jabs aimed at the 2024 presidential hopeful. However, it was clear that Meek Mill also had some words for West that he needed to get off his chest. 

He rapped: “I will never sell my soul for money, like I’m Kanye/ It’s crazy I used to bring you on my cell house on lock day/ Famous b**ches got my idols lookin’ at me sideways/ I don’t need no verses from you n***as, I did it my way.”

December 2022: Kanye Laughs At Meek Mill

During a conversation with Wack 100 on Clubhouse, West revisited the controversy surrounding his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt. He then directed his criticism towards Meek Mill, and couldn’t contain his laughter when the notion of Meek offering him advice was brought up. He said, laughing: “And I put White Lives Matter on a t-shirt. And they said, you know what let’s go get celebrities, let’s go get Puff Daddy, let’s get Dave Chappelle, let’s get Meek Mills. What makes somebody think Meek Mills can say something to me? This is the funniest thing. Yo man, I’m about to start crying laughing. Somebody thought Meek Mills? Sorry. I’m literally in tears. Somebody say, Meek Mills.”

That same day, Meek responded to West with a tweet that read: “Never lost my mind for fame or money. I still have my family… my people respect me… I’m freeing people from prison… I’m doing community service all month with children up close and personal.” He ended his message with the line, “I’m chilling wit my son and his friends today.. y’all on clubhouse at 50 lol.”

March 2024: “Carnival”

Kanye took to his Instagram account on March 11 to share a video commemorating the success of his latest chart-topper, “Carnival.” In his celebratory post, Ye took the opportunity to specifically mention Drake, Hailey Bieber, the Three Stripes brand, and several others. Around the same time, his interview with Big Boy launched where he delved into similar conspiracies about supposed “handlers” in the music industry, including the Philadelphia rapper. Meek Mill then took to X to speak on the matter. It was then that he stated that he was confused why their beef started. 

He wrote: “I think Yeezy smart but be off a lil but because I bought like 17 pair of Yeezys since we been trading rap shots. And I listened to your music to get me through my bid you a super legend I was more confused of why you was going so hard to go at me in the beginning. When you see us going at it it’s always rap beef we know each other personally and would never let it go to far! It’s a bloody sport gotta be rough wit it.” Ye has yet to respond to the tweet.

Logic Calls Kanye West A “F***ing Moron” In New Vlog

by

Logic is an artist who is no stranger to being criticized on the internet. Overall, there have been moments in his career that have left people cringing. However, the artist has always taken it in stride. Although, there are certainly times when he has tried to clap back at people, only to have it backfire. Now, Logic takes a much different approach to the internet. As detailed in a new vlog called “How I learned I can’t control the internet,” the artist explains his new mindset.

At one point in the video, the rapper reveals how he only gets richer when people talk about him. Moreover, he even brings Kanye West into the fold, as he speaks on the fact that he has never worn a “White Lives Matter” shirt. Needless to say, it is obvious who Logic is talking about. “It’s kinda dope to realize the more people talking about me, positive or negative, makes me more rich,” Logic began. “Only I’m not like evil, so I’m not out here spewing bullshit out of my mouth or wearing White Lives Matter t-shirts or some dumb shit like that. Fucking moron.”

Logic Speaks On Kanye West

The artist then goes on to clarify his comments, noting that he loves Kanye and is still a fan. Additionally, if he were to meet the artist today, they would simply have a nice conversation, and that would be that. “Love Kanye by the way, [just a] stupid fucking idea,” he said. “Let me preface that. I love Kanye West I think he’s a genius I wouldn’t be here without him. I can have a fucking opinion, and as long as my opinion is respectful and from the heart then it is what it is.” Although Logic would have stayed quiet in the past in order to secure a Kanye verse, he no longer goes by that philosophy.

Following his return to the game from a brief retirement, Logic has certainly gone through a spiritual shift. Moreover, he seems to be making the music he wants, which has led to a better product. Hopefully, he continues down this journey, which seems to have been quite freeing for him. Let us know what you think of his comments, down below.

Meek Mill Responds To Kanye West

With Ye throwing shots and shots left and right, at least a few people caught in the crossfire are bound to respond. Meek Mill recently responded to Kanye West’s jabs at him during a recent appearance on the platform Clubhouse. Amid many other users and commentators, the Chicago rapper couldn’t stop laughing at Meek criticizing him. The Philly rapper spoke out against Kanye using a “White Lives Matter” shirt, to which Ye could only laugh.

“Why I made somebody think that Meek Mill could say something to me?” the fashion designer said while laughing uncontrollably. “No, this is the funniest thing of everything. I’m about to start crying laughing. Sorry- no I’m literally in tears.”

While many focused on Kanye’s controversial statements, a few people online threw their hat into this ring. On one hand, many defended Meek for standing up against that behavior, but people sent their fair share of hate as well. Regardless, he recently took to Twitter to voice his thoughts on the matter, at least somewhat.

“Never lost my mind for fame or money…” he wrote. “I still have my family… my people respect me… I’m freeing people from prison, doing community service all month with children up close and personal… I’m chilling wit my son and his friends today… y’all on clubhouse at 50 lol.”

Moreover, this isn’t the first time that Meek has criticized Kanye this year, or vice versa. In fact, Funk Flex urged the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper to go after Ye following his Drink Champs interview. He also said Kanye “sold his soul” on his freestyle on DJ Khaled’s GOD DID and also called him “crazy and lame.”

“I don’t got no celebrity friends,” Kanye said on Drink Champs. “Because when I was on TV on Instagram saying, ‘I don’t know where my child is,’ and ‘the Kardashians kidnapped my daughter in public,’ and ‘I didn’t have the address to my child,’ none of these n***as that want to say something now…as far as Meek Mills, Puff Daddy, all you fake hard n***as, f**k you. You can’t shoot nobody anyway.”
