Oh Kanye...This Drama With Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Kid Cudi, and Billie Eilish Is All Very High School.
First and foremost, I have to say: We do support Kanye West in this house. What I mean by that, specifically, is that we want to see the rapper and musical genius happy and doing well, and hopefully making good decisions for himself and his family. It's also important to remember, for context, that this man has bipolar disorder, which can warp not only your judgement, but your perception of reality, especially when you are upset.
That being said, the way Ye is acting right now, episode or not, cannot be good for his family, especially his children - he was critical of Kim last week for allowing their daughter North on TikTok, but he doesn't seem to understand that he is also dragging his children into the public eye by putting his family's problems front and center this way.
At the very least about half of his attacks over the weekend were about beef he had in the entertainment industry, not about his family or children. It kind of all gets jumbled together, so in the interest of keeping things succinct - and sort of in-character - we're going to tell this story exactly the way a high schooler would. The people involved are: Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Pete Davidson, Kid Cudi, Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, and, in one hell of a throwback, even Taylor Swift a little.
Here's what went down.
So, Ye is still mad at Pete because he started dating Kim right after they broke up, and now he's also mad at Cudi because he's been friends with Pete for a long time - and he randomly tweeted that Cudi wouldn't be on his album anymore, but it seemed like Cudi didn't care or didn't take it seriously, because he replied like this:
The Billie Eilish comment in his note to Cudie was shade at Billie for stopping a concert to help a fan having an asthma attack, because even though she never said a thing about him, Ye took that action to be a passive aggressive one made against Travis, so now Billie is on his list too. So then after that Ye was even madder, because Cudi was supposed to be devestated, this was punishment for inviting Pete and Kim to his birthday and not him, so he uploaded another pic from that party with a red X through it, and then a little while later he tweeted an altered Captain America: Civil War poster with all of them on one side - with Taylor, who wasn't even involved in this before - and Ye and his friends on the other.
At the end of the day, also in true high school fashion, Ye seemed to think better of his little rant, and deleted everything off of his Instagram - everything, that is, except for this, which reminds us that, while these antics are a little funny to watch, there is very real pain going on here, and no matter how immature Ye is acting, we shouldn't forget that.
He has since posted other things: Three posts about the superbowl, including a clip of his McDonald's ad, and also these two posts about his family:
Of course, in response to all this, people have been clowning Kanye online all day...but we'll leave you with the best one:
