Kanye West posts on Twitter (X) about Kendrick Lamar

Kanye West vocalized his disfavor towards Kendrick Lamar’s track “Not Like Us” on the platform previously known as Twitter.

In his tweet, West expressed displeasure with the title “NOT LIKE US,” making it clear that he had no doubt about its meaning (as reported by VIBE). This statement comes after West’s previous praise of Lamar for his role in winning their rap feud against Drake. Additionally, West has criticized Lamar’s collaboration with Playboi Carti on the album “MUSIC” and tweeted, “Given that I was left off the album and then he asked Kim to have vocals from my daughter, how does it look for me?” This reference to Carti’s desire to feature North West on a song highlights his frustration.

As a gamer, I’ve been a fan of Playboi Carti and even backed him on his track “MUSIC”. We used to be cool, but it seems there’s some friction now. After the album dropped, he was called a “don”, but things have changed. When Carti made some comments, I responded by saying, “North won’t be collaborating with Carti anymore.” I also took issue with a line in his song that referenced my wife’s skincare brand, Skims. I couldn’t help but say, “I can’t believe that line is even there in the first place.” And let me make this clear: I’m the one who has ultimate control over what happens with my kids, so their comments don’t matter to me.

Kanye West’s recent remarks about Lamar differ from his previous statements made during an interview with Justin Laboy. He stated, “If you rap against Kendrick, you will lose. This man does this,” but also hinted at being able to match him due to his exceptional talents, saying, “I’m a genius, so you know, it could be.” He likened Lamar’s lyrical prowess to a powerful move in the game “Street Fighter”, stating that just as you can’t defeat Chun-Li’s special kick, you may struggle against Lamar.

Additionally, West mentioned Drake’s impact on hip-hop, explaining that he “contributed something unique to our musical equation, pushing our boundaries. He moved us forward. Future pushed us forward, and now Kendrick Lamar has raised the bar even higher.
