Ye’s Still Beefing with Carti — And Dropped BULLY V1

Ye and Playboi Carti

Ye has been on a rampage on X this week, calling out everyone from Tyler, the Creator to his ex-wife for allegedly betraying him. One of his biggest targets has been Playboi Carti after he was left off the rapper’s new album, MUSIC

The rant ignited when Carti asked North West to feature on a song, prompting Ye to shut it down, declaring that his daughter wouldn’t work with them. He even dragged Carti’s ex, Iggy Azalea, and their child into the drama. Despite the ongoing back-and-forth, the Chicago native still found time to drop new music.

Ye is really in his BULLY era

Carti kept his response to Ye's recent meltdown short and sweet, telling the rapper to "STFU" on March 19. 

Post on X

Unfortunately for us, though, Ye has just kept going…and going. He posted that he wanted to harm Carti now physically and declared himself the "worst enemy to have." 

"CARTI YOU A CHILD YOU FAKE DARK. I BEEN IN THIS SHIT 30 YEARS AND I SEEN AND KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS. I AM THE DON I AM THE LEADER. THIS CARTI S*** IS THE FINAL HEARTBREAK I CAN DEAL WITH … ALL THIS S*** IS ABOUT CLOUT FOR ALL YALL. THESE MY REAL KIDS," he wrote on X on March 19. 

You know a Ye rant is never just one post. He continued to call Carti washed, in his own way, and retweeted a meme about a new rap civil war between himself and Carti (probably without realizing the meme was poking fun at him more than anyone else).

Post on X

Despite the drama, Ye still teased what he has been cooking up in the studio, dropping the 30-minute BULLY V1 on March 18 and a short film (directed by Hype Williams) starring his son Saint West. This version isn't the final product, though. The rapper confessed that half of the vocals on the project are AI — but they might be removed because "I actually hate AI now," he said in a since-deleted post. It seems everything Ye “loves” has the shelf life of perishable foods. 

Ye Bully album on YouTube

The rapper also asked his fans if they would want VULTURES 3 or DONDA 3 first, so it's clear that he is still working on new music when he isn't posting into the abyss. Let's hope he spends more time in the studio than calling out the people he once said he loved and supported. 

Will BULLY be Ye's next great album?

NBA YoungBoy is Back Outside Soon

NBA YoungBoy

NBA Youngboy has had a chaotic few months, to say the least. However, things finally started to look up. Last April, the rapper was arrested and hit with over 40 charges stemming from an alleged prescription drug fraud scheme. The charges included possession of controlled substances, forgery, identity fraud, and more. 

He was already on house arrest at the time in Utah for violating his 2017 probation for a firearms charge. 

He eventually pleaded guilty last November to “two counts of third-degree felony identity fraud, two counts of third-degree felony forgery, and six counts of misdemeanor unlawful pharmacy conduct.” 

His original plea deal required him to serve 27 months in federal prison, followed by five years of probation, while also paying a $25,000 fine. In exchange, his felony charges were reduced to misdemeanors. Initially, he wasn’t expected to be released until July—but now, he’s getting out much sooner.

His release is on the horizon

The rapper’s new release date is April 26. It’s unclear what got his release date moved up. He allegedly knocked out another inmate who screamed “OTF” (his beef with Lil Durk goes back years), so it may not be for good behavior, but either way, his fans are excited. 

Post on X

With the rapper dropping his newest project, More Leaks, earlier this month, fingers crossed that a tour comes soon after his official release. 

Are y’all excited for new NBA Youngboy?
