On JAY-Z:
On Kendrick Lamar:
“The last Kendrick album, not that [GNX] but the previous one [Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers], is like a direct copy of [The Life of] Pablo. It’s like, ‘Oh, these are the drums from this song. This is the approach to this song.’”
On Frank Ocean:
“No one makes music that’s nowhere as near as good as [me]. When I made ‘Moon,’ it basically ended Frank Ocean’s [career]. He ain’t have a song since then! He was like, ‘Sipping some wine.’ I heard it and was like, ‘Oh, this n-gga’s never gonna be able to make another album again.’”
On Kim Kardashian:
On Diddy:
On Drake:
On Travis Scott:
“Trav left me off his album [Utopia] too. Four of my songs from the ranch in Wyoming, my choruses, my exact singing lines. He replaced me with him or with other people, put Future and SZA one one of the joints, took me off with no explanation. Shit just comes out.”
On J. Cole:
“As J. Cole said, ‘False idols.’ N-gga, you’re the false idol! You can’t fuck with me no day.”
On Playboi Carti:
“What one of my actual friends or someone that could call my daughter their niece would reach out to a woman that I got issues with? That’s some faggot shit … You was the first feature on Donda. The Carti shit was the final heartbreak.”
On Pusha T:
“My issue with all these faggot-ass celebrity n-ggas is: if you ain’t gonna speak on my behalf with the situation I’m in right now with my children, don’t talk about my political views. Pusha T. N-gga, I bled for you! If a n-gga ask you about me, say, ‘We ain’t speaking on Ye.’ I’m the lawyer off Carlito’s Way. I’m the boss. You n-ggas is broke. You n-ggas is not masterminds. And you n-ggas should have never gone [against me].”
On John Legend:
On Ty Dolla $ign:
On Jim Jones:
“My issue with Jim was: we were working on clothes and I said, ‘Send me a PDF of all your ideas, all the young n-ggas you know in Europe. Let the king see everything that’s happening.’ This man tells me, ‘I don’t know how to make a PDF.’ That was way more disrespectful to me than the n-gga figuring out how to get the $2 million!
On tweeting “fuck Virgil [Abloh]” after his death:
