Controversial American hip-hop artiste Kanye West who now prefers to be called “Ye” has wadded into the beef between his colleagues Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
The debate on who is the current best rapper took another dimension after Kendrick Lamar dissed his hip-hop rivals, Drake and J.Cole on Future and Metro Boomin’s new song, ‘Like That,’ claiming he is a bigger rapper than them.
Some rappers including Rick Ross, Nav already endorsed Kendrick Lamar’s claims by publicly vibing to the song.
Reacting, Kanye West said he is a better rapper than both Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

On his Instagram page, he wrote: “Everyone knows I washed Kendrick [Lamar] on No More Parties in LA. Everyone knows I washed Drake at the Free Hoover Concert.
“I am the only person to come back to number one after cancellation. There is only one goat, I stand by me. My friends call me Ye.”
In another report, Ye has been dragged to court over alleged assault and battery by a man who approached him for an autograph.
Documents obtained which were sighted by Africa Today News, New York on Friday say the alleged victim claimed he was attacked on 13 January, 2022, while he was waiting outside a hotel to get Kanye’s autograph.
The man claimed to have demanded an apology from the singer to which he replied, “Apology for what?” before allegedly striking him again multiple times and severely injuring him.
He alleged that one of the people who accompanied Kanye tried to stop the attack, but he barked back, “go to the f**king house and get my fucking kids.
“Kanye screamed, ‘I’m going to make a fucking example of you’, before hitting me with a punch to the face.”
The man is suing for damages, claiming he has suffered emotional distress following the assault.
