Kanye West changed the title of his album from SWISH toWaves last night, a switch that inspired some tweeted shade from fellow rapper Wiz Khalifa; in one tweet, Khalifa wrote, “Hit this kk and become yourself,” a seeming reference to West’s wife Kim Kardashian. (Khalifa now says he was talking about a specific strain of weed)
KANYE’S TWEETS ABOUT AMBER ROSE CROSS THE LINE
That perceived slight was enough to set West off, and he’s spent the last 30 minutes batting back at Wiz over the quality and authenticity of his music, his clothing choices, the mother of his child (model Amber Rose, who is also West’s ex-girlfriend), and Wiz’s cellphone number. (The tweets about Rose mark the point where the rant becomes a little unsavory.) If you just want the highlights, consider that Kanye has a) used the hashtag #wizwearscoolpants, b) promoted his wife’s custom emoji line, c) claimed to own Khalifa’s child, and d) repeatedly proclaimed himself the greatest artist of all time. (He’s also getting a ton of free album promotion, and I tip my cap to him in that regard.)
Celebrity feuds might not be a sustainable endgame for Twitter as a platform, but you can’t watch something this insane and delightful unfold in real time anywhere else. West’s best bursts are embedded below:
I’m YE and I ain’t gotta say it the right way I’m Ye I’m Ye I’m Ye I’m Ye I’m Ye I’m Ye I’m Ye
Don’t ever ever ever come out the side of your mutherfucking neck bro or bruh or however you say it Mr. Waves
maybe I couldn’t be skinny and tall but I’ll settle for being the greatest artist of all time as a consolation
10th don’t you ever in your fucking life speak sideways about a nigga that’s fighting for us I do this for all of us
5th I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years
