Topline
Kanye West targeted at least a dozen celebrities this week—including Jay-Z, Beyoncé and their children—preceding the release of his new album “Bully,” but his increasingly wild social media antics seem to be drawing less attention than they used to.Key Facts
West made a series of bizarre posts apparently targeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé, even their younger children.
The rapper deleted those posts, but later posted he regretted taking them down and said: “If Twitter take my s**t down them [sic] so be it but I need yall to no [sic] Jay Z or nobody have no power over me.”
West targeted rapper Playboi Carti in multiple posts, accusing him of domestic violence and criticizing the rapper for allegedly asking West’s daughter, North West, to contribute vocals to his new album while not asking West himself to feature on the album (Playboi Carti was arrested for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend in 2023, but denied the allegations through his lawyers).
In another shot at Playboi Carti, West also posted a request to him and rapper Iggy Azalea for their son to feature on one of his songs on which West would “rap about one of your businesses.
