Kanye West’s been spotted in the studio with producer Digital Nas, and a recent livestream turned heads when Ye unleashed a fiery rant about Frank Ocean. The Graduation legend didn’t hold back, claiming Ocean tried to talk him out of backing Donald Trump in 2016. Here’s the heated breakdown—and why it’s stirring the pot.
Ye’s Livestream Tirade
While Digital Nas worked beats, Kanye’s voice boomed in the background, tearing into Ocean: “Frank Ocean pssy ass come over my house talking about Trump all day and how I shouldn’t support Trump. Na fck you know about politics? I’m your motherfcking senior, OG—y’all used to come on tour with me!” He didn’t stop there, slamming other unnamed rappers who tried to sway him: “None of you nas can tell me about politics. You read a book, and now you can tell me some sht?” Ye capped it with a flex: “I’m the greatest motherf*cking artist that ever existed. They can just be slightly better at one thing ’cause they only do that one thing.”
Trump Support: From Shocker to Chaos
Back in 2016, Kanye’s Trump endorsement blindsided fans—he’d never touched politics before. Fast-forward to 2022, and he’s dining at Mar-a-Lago with alt-right figure Nick Fuentes and conservative Candace Owens. That move tanked his public image, with Trump distancing himself after the backlash. Ye’s antisemitic rants since—calling out the Jewish community in ways that sparked outrage—haven’t helped. Though he’s quieter on politics now, this livestream proves those old wounds still fester.
Fan Backlash and Mixed Vibes
The clip’s splitting the hip-hop crowd. Frank Ocean, despite his low profile, has a loyal legion who aren’t here for Ye’s shade. One X user fired back: “Crazy ’cause there’s like 10-20 artists that do everything Kanye does but way better. Huge stretch calling himself the greatest ever.” Another slammed Digital Nas: “He’s a yesman, just letting bro rant. Kanye forever cooked.” Love him or hate him, Ye’s still got people talking.
