New York rapper Sheck Wes took to instagram to commented directly under Ye’s (formerly Kanye West) post saying, “You stole my whole cadence, flow, beat, tempo to get #1 u delusional.” This after Ye made a post going off on Drake, Kendrick and others saying,“Everyone knows I washed Kendrick on no more parties in LA. Everyone knows I washed Drake at the free hoover concert. Everyone knows I brought Adidas into this culture and I took them out.” The unprovoked Thursday afternoon brag continued in bold caps, “EVERYONE KNOWS I BROUGHT ADIDAS INTO THIS CULTURE AND I TOOK THEM OUT, EVERYONE KNOWS LOTTA DEMNA VIRGIL JERRY KIM ALL WORKED FOR ME. I MADE YEEZUS DARK FANTASY PABLO GRADUATION THRONE 808S, I MADE RUNAWAY DEVIL IN A NEW DRESS FATHER STRETCH. 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 :)”
