Ye, formerly Kanye West, social media tirade has sparked reactions from Playboi Carti, Jim Jones, and Cardi B.

On March 18, West launched into an explosive rant on X, much of which was later deleted. He directed his anger at frequent collaborator Playboi Carti, using a homophobic slur and accusing him of domestic violence.

“Iggy, I was sorry for speaking on your kid. That was some Carti behavior,” West wrote, referencing his recent clash with Iggy Azalea over their son, Onyx. He then doubled down on his accusations against Carti, claiming: “Carti beats women. He told me to stop tweeting about Nazis. Why do broke men always try to tell me what to do? Oh, I forgot—the industry allows songs about murder but tells Carti to give me advice.”

He crudely added: “Carti beats women. I beat women. But everyone hates Diddy.”

West also lashed out at Carti for wanting to collaborate with his daughter, North, and alleged that he was blocked from appearing on Carti’s latest album, Music. In response, Carti simply tweeted: “Ye, shut up.”

Jim Jones was also caught in West’s verbal firestorm, despite the two recently spending time together in Japan. “F*** Jim Jones,” West posted, before elaborating: “This might sound like a Tarantino movie, but here goes. Jim Jones got paid $2 million to introduce me to a man named Mr. Pink to discuss my crypto coin and never told me he was getting $2 million. He never cut me in. But that wasn’t even the worst part.”

West then ridiculed Jones over a separate issue involving a fashion collaboration.

“We were working on clothes, and I asked him for a PDF. This guy tells me he doesn’t know how to make a PDF. Get one of your young guys to do it, Capo. I actually love Jim Jones, and I’ll never go full Ye on him, but I want that PDF more than the money.”

Jones refused to escalate the feud, responding simply: “I love Kanye.”

West then turned his attention to hip-hop’s leading women, making controversial claims about their careers. “Cardi B replaced Nicki Minaj. Meg Thee Stallion replaced Cardi B. Doja Cat replaced Meg Thee Stallion. Doechii replaced Doja Cat after Doja started with the Nazi talk. Funny how similar Doja and Doechii’s names are.”

He continued, taking aim at Lizzo: “They had Lizzo promoting Black obesity. I’m really proud of Lizzo—she’s an amazing talent and has taken her life into her own hands.”

West then dismissed Cardi B altogether, questioning her longevity. “Where is Cardi B gonna be in 10 years? They used her.”

Cardi didn’t respond directly but posted defiantly: “Seven years, one album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music! I’m anointed, and I have a real fanbase. They come and go, but The Brim is still here and will stay!”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent, one of the few people West praised in his tirade, reacted with concern. Sharing West’s post, he wrote on Instagram:

“Damn it, Ye, you’re dangerous right now. What you say about the kids, man?” referring to West’s shocking comments about JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s twins, Rumi and Sir.

West’s latest meltdown only adds to his growing list of erratic public outbursts, leaving fans and peers wondering what he’ll do next.
