Kanye West Compares Drake To R. Kelly
Kanye then compared Drake to the imprisoned R&B singer R. Kelly. He said, “It’s like Drake is sort of just like the latest generation R. Kelly…”
He explained that R. Kelly is in jail for doing something just like what Lamar accused Drake of doing in his song “Not Like Us.” Recall that Lamar accused Drake of being a pedophile on the track.
Kanye said, “The concept that was put out within the Kendrick song is what R. Kelly is definitely locked up for. Now, this information is out here. This may very well be used, right? And either they offer Kendrick every little thing, he wins every little thing…”

He added, “AND IM GOING TO RESPECTFULLY LEAVE IT LIGHT JUST LIKE THAT, BUT THATS THE HYPOCRISY ONE N-GGAS IN JAIL, AND THE OTHER N-GGA IS AT THE SUPER BOWL.”
Lamar, who performed “Humble,” “Not Like Us” and lots of of his hit songs on the halftime show, didn’t heed Kanye’s call. Nevertheless, that did not stop Ye from praising his performance.

Kanye Leaves X
Kanye had engaged in an antisemitic rampage on X, infuriating many individuals together with his antics.
Besides posting offensive comments about Jews, Ye also posted pornographic content, made questionable comments about his wife, and even had some things to say about former Vice President Kamala Harris.
Following Kanye’s X rants, many celebrities, including “Friends” star David Schwimmer, criticized him and called for X owner Elon Musk to take motion against him.
Eventually, Kanye decided to go away the social media platform on his own terms.
Per Sky News, he posted the next, “I’m logging out of Twitter. I appreciate Elon for allowing me to vent. It has been very cathartic to make use of the world as a sounding board. It was like an Ayahuasca trip. Love all of you who gave me your energy and a spotlight. Till we connect again. Good afternoon and goodnight.”
After the post, Kanye seemingly deactivated his X account, bringing an end to his venomous posts on the platform.
