Kanye West, now known as Ye, recently expressed his disapproval of Kendrick Lamar’s music. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Ye acknowledged Lamar’s rapping skills but stated, “I don’t like Kendrick Lamar’s music. He raps very good but I didn’t need to hear him on Carti’s album.”
This comment follows Ye’s previous critiques of other artists, including J. Cole, whom he criticized for apologizing to Lamar over a diss track.
Despite his recent remarks, Ye and Lamar have collaborated in the past. Notably, they worked together on the track “No More Parties in LA,” which received widespread acclaim for its lyrical depth and production.
Ye’s comments have sparked discussions within the hip-hop community, highlighting the complexities of artistic opinions and collaborations among prominent figures in the industry.
