00:00 Celebrities who can't stand Kanye West. Drake. This narrative revolves around two
00:05 famed rappers, Drake and Kanye, whose friendship eventually evolved into
00:09 rivalry. Drake, well known in the music industry, once held West in high regard,
00:14 even expressing admiration for him in a 2013 MTV interview. Kanye West is making
00:20 a peace offering to Drake following the rappers long-standing feud. However, a
00:24 shift in their relationship occurred escalating from rumored disagreements to
00:28 confirmed discord in May 2018. This change was largely attributed to Virginia
00:33 rapper Pusha T, assignee of West's Good music label, who in his track "The Story
00:38 of Edadon" exposed Drake's hidden fatherhood. The world was shocked when
00:43 Kanye West collaborator Pusha T exposed Drake's secret son on a diss track.
00:48 Drake was persuaded that West played a role in leaking this information. Despite
00:52 their feud, Drake confessed in a 2019 rap writer interview that he still ranks
00:56 West among his favorite artists. Though he accused him of falseness in his
01:00 public displays of fondness, the feud continued to intensify in 2021. West
01:04 launched his "Dawned" album on August 29, followed by Drake's certified lover boy
01:08 LP "Five Days Later." Both albums featured tracks taking jabs at each other,
01:14 fueling fan debates over who would achieve higher sales. By the end of 2021,
01:22 there seemed to be a semblance of peace between West and Drake. Drake and West
01:26 rivalry has not only captivated the attention of fans, but has also sparked
01:29 discussions on the dynamics of friendship and competition in the music
01:33 industry. Their feud highlights how even in a seemingly collaborative field,
01:36 jealousy and ego can drive a wedge between one's close friends.
01:40 "I was in a really weird pending situation where I didn't want to go tell the world."
01:44 Jennifer Aniston! The feud between global hip-hop artists Kanye and Drake is
01:49 understandable, given their standing as two of the world's top rappers and the
01:53 highly competitive nature of rap. West's dispute with the Democrats also didn't
01:57 shock many considering his adoption of far-right ideologies. However, a row
02:01 between West and Jennifer Aniston, the star of "Friends," was an unexpected
02:06 plot twist. The rift stemmed from West's 2020 presidential campaign which
02:09 Aniston publicly criticized. She voiced her disapproval on Instagram, urging
02:14 people not to vote for West and to take their vote seriously. West in response
02:17 took a jab at her, tweeting that "Friends" was not funny. However, he later deleted
02:22 the tweet, implying he may have found some amusement in the popular 90s sitcom
02:26 after all. Chris Brown recounting the numerous contentious remarks made by
02:30 Kanye over the years is akin to attempting to enumerate the snowflakes
02:34 in a snowman. However, his comments on slavery during a 2018 appearance on TMZ
02:39 Live will likely continue to attract criticism. "You hear about slavery for
02:43 400 years? For 400 years? That sound like a choice." The term backlash is
02:48 insufficient to encapsulate the fervent reactions West's statements elicited from
02:53 celebrities, historians, media commentators, and the general public.
02:57 Among the reactors was Chris Brown who decried West as a clown in a now
03:01 removed Instagram post and advised people not to follow West's negative
03:05 trajectory as reported by USA Today. Furthermore, in August 2021, the Deuces
03:09 artist criticized West for excluding his verse from "New Again," a track on the
03:14 Donda album. West's comments on slavery not only sparked outrage but also
03:18 reignited conversations about the legacy of slavery and its impact on black
03:22 Americans. Many pointed out that West's statements demonstrated a lack of
03:26 understanding and empathy towards the traumatic history of slavery. Here are
03:31 some of the most surprising things that Julia Fox shares in her book about her
03:35 relationship with Kanye West, who she calls "the artist" in the book. So she
03:40 doesn't even directly refer to him. She shared that the day after they met, Kanye
03:44 had actually asked her to be his girlfriend and a friend had passed on
03:49 her number to him and they started texting and calling each other and they
03:54 met in person at a New Year's party in Miami at the end of 2021. Julia Fox
04:00 telling the mag quote, "I met Ye in Miami on New Year's Eve and it was an instant
04:05 connection." And then the morning after, Julia woke up to so many missed calls
04:11 from Kanye. But either way, they spent the day together and they had dinner at
04:16 Carbone where he asked her to be his girlfriend. But at first she was like a
04:27 little hesitant, like whoa that's really quick. And then she suggested that they
04:32 waited a few weeks. But their relationship continued from there and
04:36 Kanye even hired Julia Fox's friends to style her for that night. "I'm sure
04:42 there's still some sort of residual feelings and it's like it's normal, it's
04:47 human, you know." Following the date after Kanye asked Julia to be his girlfriend,
04:52 Kanye brought Julia Fox back to a hotel room filled with Glen Martin's
04:57 unreleased diesel collection. And when Julia Fox tried on a shirt and found
05:02 that she couldn't wear it with a bra on, that's when Kanye West offered to pay
05:07 for a chest enhancement procedure for her. And Julia, she declined his offer but
05:13 his words like really made her feel uncomfortable and they stuck with her to
05:18 this very day. "It was probably a rock bottom, yeah it was really bad." Julia also
05:24 describes feeling powerless as Kanye West took more control of her style. And
05:30 she writes instances about where her friends who became stylists worked under
05:36 Kanye West's directions and they selected outfits for her as well as
05:41 outfits for him. And under the direction of Kanye West, her friends/stylist
05:46 literally packed up her old clothes without hearing from her, getting any
05:51 feedback from her and that was it. And she admitted actually to hiding some of
05:56 her old clothes when her stylists weren't looking. And she also mentioned
06:00 that she was losing a lot of weight very quickly which contributed to sizing
06:05 issues with the new clothes that Kanye West was providing her with. And then for
06:10 her birthday, Julia Fox's stylist presented her with a variety of outfits
06:14 chosen by Kanye and she felt really uncomfortable with the selection and she
06:19 chose the simplest option while feeling really uneasy as she looked at herself
06:24 in the mirror trying on the clothes and everything. Yeah, she just wasn't feeling
06:29 it. Like I mentioned guys, some of her friends started becoming stylists now
06:33 and working for Kanye West. And of course, arguments are gonna happen about
06:38 friends when you mix business with friendship. And after one of these
06:42 arguments about their friends, you know, Kanye West, he stopped communicating with
06:46 Julia Fox altogether. And Kanye's assistant informed her that he was
06:51 taking a month-long phone break. Like that was it. No communication whatsoever
06:56 with Julia. But on the flip side, this break did give Julia Fox some
07:01 uninterrupted time with her son
07:11 without all the constant calls and texts from Kanye. Despite this though, Julia
07:16 did admit that she actually missed the interaction with Kanye during that
07:20 period of time. Also, another thing that Julia Fox shared is that she declined to
07:24 sign a non-disclosure agreement or an NDA that was circulated among her friends. So
07:30 this happened earlier on in their relationship and some of these friends
07:35 were currently working as her and Kanye West's stylists. So there's a lot of things
07:40 that Kanye West wanted to keep under wraps. He didn't want certain things to
07:43 be said publicly. You know, he's doing his best to try to protect his image.
07:47 However, Julia did say that she made a decision not to sign the NDA whatsoever.
07:53 And in her own words, this is what she specifically said. "He can take over my
07:58 life but he's not taking my voice." And I think that's why she shared these
08:04 secrets about Kanye West and their relationship in her book. Because yeah,
08:09 she didn't sign the NDA. She can pretty much say whatever she wants. But she did
08:13 say in the past though that she's not really trying to cause any sort of bad
08:17 blood or anything like that. She's just trying to say her peace because people
08:21 want to know like what was it like. Some people look at her as clout chasing, you
08:25 know, just trying to use Kanye West's name to stay relevant because she's no
08:29 longer dating him. That relationship was really, really quick and now Kanye has
08:33 moved on and he's married somebody. And now she, Bianca Sensuri, Kanye West's new
08:38 wife is getting so famous. So a lot of people are just suspecting that Julia
08:42 Fox is just trying to get some attention back on her. Celebrities who can't stand
08:47 Kanye West part 2. Taylor Swift. The resurfacing of the feud between rap mogul
08:53 Kanye and pop sensation Taylor might have startled some. This duo, despite
08:58 West's infamous interruption of Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs
09:03 had seemingly reconciled. They were
09:12 frequently spotted dining together and Swift even presented West with a Video
09:15 Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs. However, the apparent harmony was disrupted in
09:20 2016 when Kim K, West's ex, released a phone call in which Swift seemed to
09:25 approve lyrics in West's song "Famous" that she had publicly disclaimed.
09:31 Swift addressed this incident in a 2019 Rolling Stone
09:39 interview expressing her exasperation over her tumultuous relationship with
09:43 West. She stated that the public didn't even understand the sequence of events
09:47 that ignited her anger. Particularly West's derogatory reference to her in
09:50 "Famous". Swift emphasized that their discord wasn't solely built on
09:58 this phone call or a song but a succession of incidents. Given the
10:01 circumstances it wouldn't be shocking if Swift and West permanently severed
10:05 their ties. Soulja Boy, renowned artist Kanye West has a history of
10:13 postponing album releases often attributed to last-minute tweaks which
10:17 sometimes include removing guest artists vocals. A notable instance of this
10:20 occurred during the production of West's 2021 album "Donda" where Soulja Boy's
10:24 feature on the track "Remote Control" was unexpectedly omitted. Soulja Boy
10:28 previously recorded a verse to the song "Remote Control" that was on the album.
10:32 His verse didn't make the cut. Of course he was not too happy about that. Soulja
10:36 expressed his frustration on social media feeling deceived by West's lack
10:39 of transparency. He accused West of cowardice in an interview with TMZ
10:43 implying that West used his label as a cover-up for Soulja's removal.
10:47 Especially after Soulja publicly expressed his disappointment. He even
10:50 taunted West on Twitter saying he had been with West's ex Kim Kardashian first
10:54 and challenged West to a duel. Considering West's known behavior perhaps
10:57 Soulja should have waited to hear his contribution in the final album before
11:00 assuming his inclusion in "Donda". West's perfectionism and attention to detail is
11:05 well documented and has been praised by many as a key factor in his success.
11:08 However this trait can also be seen as a double-edged sword causing friction with
11:12 collaborators and leading to delays in project releases. And finally J. Cole.
11:17 The dynamic relationship between rappers J. Cole and Kanye is
11:23 intriguingly enigmatic. While never engaging in a public dispute the
11:27 underlying tension between the two was seemingly evident. J. Cole expressed his
11:31 criticism of West and his music in his 2016 release "False Prophet". However in
11:35 2018 it seemed as if the pair had reconciled their differences following a
11:39 phone conversation which West documented in a now deleted tweet captioned "We got
11:43 love" as reported by Billboard. Despite this J. Cole was not pleased with West's
11:47 public display, expressing his disapproval in a conversation with radio
11:50 host Angie Martinez. He felt that West had exploited his name for social media
11:54 traction and to maintain his public image, a move he found insincere, J. Cole
11:58 confronted West who subsequently apologized. J. Cole was left with the
12:02 impression of being used as a pawn by West. The motive behind West's screenshot
12:06 post remains unclear but the two seem to have at least achieved a civil
12:11 interaction demonstrated by their shared attendance at the NBA All-Star Game in
12:14 2020. The relationship between the two artists continues to fascinate fans with
12:19 many looking for any signs of collaboration or renewed tension. The
12:22 dynamic between J. Cole and Kanye is just one example of the complex
12:25 relationships that often exist within the music industry. Artists are known for
12:29 being competitive as they strive for recognition and success but at the same
12:32 time they also share a camaraderie and pressures that come with being in the
12:36 public eye. Pete Davidson recently returned to Instagram and things are
12:40 gonna get real dicey real quick because one of his new followers on Instagram
12:44 is Kanye West and then from there Kanye he literally left a comment in all caps
12:52 saying "FOLLOWED" and just to drive the point home more he screenshot of that
12:57 comment and posted it on Instagram but of course he quickly deleted it. Hey guys
13:01 what's happening welcome back to FTD news my name is Leroy Kenton this is the
13:04 channel where we collect the news and spit it back to you in a more
13:07 entertaining way. So it looks like Pete Davidson wanted to have a brand new
13:11 fresh start to Instagram because if you don't already know he deleted his
13:15 account back in 2018 due to mental health reasons. My question is though is
13:20 that why of all the times would he pick now to come back to Instagram? Especially
13:25 because Kanye West, the man making his life a living hell, uses Instagram to
13:30 publicly diss him. Bruh. Like he said some nasty things about Pete Davidson like
13:36 he's called him a d***head. He's posted their private messages. Pete Davidson he's
13:41 insisting that he really wants to squash this beef but the insults just
13:46 keep coming. He's been called skeet by Kanye West. He's told people to literally
13:51 scream at Pete Davidson if they ever see him in public.
13:55 Kanye West also threatened to beat Pete Davidson's a** on one of his tracks on his
14:00 new Donda 2 album. Yeah. I know there's an old phrase "hell hath no fury" like
14:06 a woman scorned. Hell hath no fury like Kanye scorned. Obviously though it is no
14:11 surprise that Pete Davidson didn't follow Kanye back. As a matter of fact at
14:15 the time of filming this video he's only following two people. Of course his
14:19 honey boo Kim Kardashian as well as he's following the actor Sebastian Stan.
