Playboi Carti fired back at Kanye West with a blunt four-letter message after West took issue with the rapper wanting to collaborate with his daughter, North West.
On Wednesday, Carti posted a simple but direct response on X: “YE, STFU [shut the f*** up].”
This exchange came just one day after Carti reached out to West's ex-wife Kim Kardashian, expressing interest in working with their 11-year-old daughter.
Carti posted, “TELL ME[sic] NIECE NORTH SEND ME A SONG,” tagging Kim in the post, which she later shared on her own Instagram story.
Kanye, who is known for his fiery online posts, quickly responded, mocking Carti on X.
He wrote, “HEY NORTH YOUR DAD GAVE ME MY BIGGEST SONG AND CO SIGN AND I LEFT HIM OFF OF MY ALBUM BECAUSE OF HIS TWEETS.”
He followed up with, “OH BUT NORTH YOU MY NIECE I GOTTA USE YOUR VOCALS.”
In another post, Kanye added, “I HELD MY TONGUE ABOUT MOT[sic] BEING ON CARTI ALBUM HIM GOING TO MY EX TO ASK MY DAUGHTER TO BE ON A SONG 2 DAYS LATER WAS TOO FAR NOBODY FINNA PLAY WITH ME.”
The tension between the two artists intensified following the release of Kanye’s new track, "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine," which features North West, Diddy, and King Combs.
Kanye promoted the song in a post on X, stating, “LONELY ROADS STILL GO TO SUNSHINE new song by PUFF DADDY feat. His son KING COMBS my daughter NORTH WEST and new Yeezy artist from Chicago Jasmine Williams.”
Meanwhile, Kanye also made headlines for his apparent phone conversation with Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in federal detention.
A recording shared by The Shade Room shows Combs warning Kanye, “This s*** is wicked, wicked, wicked. So you be careful,” and encouraging him to get back to making music.
West responded, “Yeah, it’s time for me to grab the mic and get back [out there]. I love music again. There was a time when everything was so frustrating. I can’t even explain it.”
The call ended with Combs telling Kanye to “jump in [his] bag” as they planned to fight their battles over the long term: “We gonna have years and decades to f***ing fight these motherf***ers.”
