Playboi Carti, Jim Jones & Cardi B Fire Back at Kanye West After Explosive Rant
Kanye West has once again found himself at the center of controversy after a series of explosive posts on X, where he took aim at Playboi Carti, Jim Jones, and Cardi B. The now-deleted tirade saw the rap mogul hurl insults, make allegations, and question the legitimacy of some of Hip Hop’s biggest names.
Playboi Carti Claps Back
In a shocking move, Ye labeled longtime collaborator Playboi Carti a “faggot” and a “woman beater,” referencing past allegations of domestic violence against the Atlanta rapper. He also accused Carti of trying to police his social media activity, claiming:
“CARTI A WOMEN BEATER TOLD ME TO STOP TWEETING ABOUT NAZI’S. WHY DO BROKE N-GGAS ALWAYS TRY TELL ME WHAT TO DO?”
Carti wasted no time in responding, keeping his reaction short and direct: “YE STFU.”
The tension between the two comes after Ye announced he had scrapped a joint album with Carti and alleged that he was prevented from appearing on Music, Carti’s latest project.
Jim Jones Brushes Off Kanye’s Claims
Jim Jones was also a target in Ye’s rant, with West abruptly posting:
“FUCK JIM JONES. IT/HE’S NOT WORTH AN EXPLANATION.”
However, he later provided one, accusing the Dipset rapper of accepting $2 million to introduce him to a crypto investor, “Mr. Pink,” without disclosing the payment or cutting him in on the deal.
Despite the heated accusations, Jim Jones refused to escalate the drama, simply responding: “I love KanYe.”
Cardi B Responds to Ye’s Career Take
Kanye West didn’t stop at Carti and Jones—he also took aim at some of Hip Hop’s leading women. He argued that Cardi B had been replaced by Megan Thee Stallion, who was then replaced by Doja Cat, and so on. He also questioned her longevity, stating:
“WHERE CARDI B GONNA BE 10 YEARS FROM NOW. THEY USED HER.”
While Cardi didn’t directly call out Ye, she made it clear that she’s here to stay, tweeting:
“7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!! I’m anointed and I have a real fanbase. They come and go but The Brim is still here and will stay!”
50 Cent Weighs In
Interestingly, one of the only people Ye spoke positively about was his longtime frenemy 50 Cent, calling him one of his “favorite people.” 50 responded in typical fashion, reacting to Ye’s comments about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s kids with:
“Damn it Ye ya dangerous right now, what you say about the kids man!”
Kanye’s Latest Social Media Storm
Kanye’s latest outburst follows a pattern of controversial online rants, many of which have led to fractured relationships in the music industry. With heavyweights like Playboi Carti, Jim Jones, and Cardi B firing back, it’s clear that Ye’s words aren’t going unchecked. Whether this drama escalates further or fades into the background remains to be seen.
