Following Ye’s latest social media meltdown—where he called himself “a Nazi” and demanded freedom for alleged sex trafficker Diddy—Charlamagne Tha God thinks there’s a deeper reason behind it all.
“You know, if he wants to ride for Diddy… Nothing wrong with that, that’s on him,” Charlamagne said on The Breakfast Club around the 3:30 mark. “But we do realize Kanye has been acting out all week because he’s envious of Kendrick’s moment, right?” When Jess Hilarious mentioned Ye’s recent autism claim, Charlamagne wasn’t buying it.
“That’s just attention seeking, he’s doing that because he’s envious of Kendrick’s moment,” he explained. “He wishes this was him, because Kendrick is having a moment for being a prolific artist who took out his number one opp, Drake. Kanye wishes that was him in this moment, so he’s been doing all these antics for attention all week because he’s trying to get people to do exactly what they’re doing right now, and that’s talking about him. But Kanye, that is a sideshow compared to what Kendrick did on Sunday at the Grammys and what Kendrick is going to do this Sunday at the Super Bowl.”
Jess cracked a joke about Ye bringing “a raw chicken wing on the red carpet,” referring to his Grammy appearance with wife Bianca Censori in her see-through outfit. She suggested their relationship seems “cheap” given Censori’s minimal public attire.
“You using the right word,” Charlamagne agreed. “All these antics are cheap, meanwhile you got people on that stage being rewarded for their art the way that you used to, Kanye. Kendrick Lamar got rewarded five times for a diss record to your number one opp, you wish that was you. … We don’t care, Kanye. … I don’t care that you’re a billionaire, there’s plenty of corny-ass billionaires.”
Ye’s been back on X (formerly Twitter) dropping antisemitic posts, straight-up declaring “I’m a Nazi” and repeatedly using the f-slur. He’s also pushing for Trump to free his “brother” Diddy, who’s facing multiple sexual misconduct lawsuits. In one wild tweet, he claimed, “I stood up for Puff and I’m still winning 20 Grammies next year and doing the Super Bowl.” Fat chance.
Meanwhile, Kendrick’s living his best life – swept all five Grammy categories he was up for, including Record and Song of the Year. He’s also making history this Sunday, Feb. 9, as the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
