Kanye Admits Despising Not Like Us & Attacks Ex Wife Kim Kardashian

Kanye West has expanded on his criticism of Playboi Carti over the rapper’s alleged attempt to feature his daughter, North West, on his latest album, Music. According to Kanye, Carti initially wanted North on the project, but the request was ultimately denied.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Kanye explained that his ex-wife Kim Kardashian owns the rights to the name and likeness of their children. As a result, Carti had to obtain her permission. Kanye expressed frustration over this arrangement, arguing that a father should have the final say regarding his children.

On Monday night, Kanye wrote, “I DECIDED NORTH WON’T BE DOING ANY SONGS WITH CARTI. HOW IT LOOK FOR ME TO GET LEFT OFF THE ALBUM AND THEN HE ASK KIM TO HAVE VOCALS FROM MY DAUGHTER. I DON’T GIVE A FCK ABOUT NONE OF THIS INDUSTRY SHT. AND HOW IT’S A SKIMS LINE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND I DON’T GIVE A F*CK WHAT NO COMMENTS. THE MAN HAS THE FIRST AND FINAL SAY OVER HIS KIDS.”

He elaborated further on Tuesday, adding, “SO KIM GOT THE NAME AND LIKENESS OVER MY BLACK CHILDREN. SO A WHITE WOMAN HAS CONTROL OVER THE NAME AND LIKENESS OF MY BLACK CHILDREN. AND THEN SPEAKS TO CARTI ABOUT PUTTING MY DAUGHTER ON A SONG WITH HIM. THESE DUMB A** CELEBRITIES BE TRYING TO PLAY WITH ME IN MY FACE.”

Playboi Carti’s Album Music

Playboi Carti’s long-awaited album Music finally dropped on Friday, featuring guest appearances from Future, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, and others. Despite the controversy, North West did not appear on the project. However, she recently collaborated with FKA Twigs on the singer’s album Eusexua.

Kim Kardashian and Playboi Carti aren’t the only celebrities facing Kanye’s ire. Over the past 24 hours, he has also called out Tyler, the Creator, Future, Metro Boomin, and Iggy Azalea in a series of social media posts. This public backlash comes as Kanye gears up to release his forthcoming album, Bully, set to drop on June 15th in honor of North West’s birthday.

Kanye West has been circulating Kendrick Lamar criticism for a long time. The rapper he praised for taking out Drake has now become of West’s biggest enemies. He felt that Lamar should not have been on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC album. The hottest Kanye West take, however, and one that is surely going to drive K. Dot fans nuts, is that he despises “Not Like Us.” “I HAAAAAATED Not Like Us,” he tweeted, with no semblance of wiggle room for misinterpretation. Lamar may have advertised himself as the biggest hater on “Euphoria,” but West is giving him a run for his money.
