Kanye West, known for his unpredictable nature, made headlines with his recent appearance on a podcast. During the interview, West made startling claims, including vowing to ruin Drake’s career. However, he also took time to discuss artists he admires, and one such artist was Chris Brown.
In a seemingly random moment, West asserted that Brown was a ‘god’ in the music industry. He referenced his own verse on the song ‘Carnival,’ where he raps: ‘I’m the new Jesus, bitch. I turn water to Crist, this for what they did to Chris. They can’t do sh*t with this.’ West believes that truly great artists like Brown face challenges imposed by the industry’s ‘middle men.’
This is not the first time West has spoken in Brown’s defense. In the wake of Brown’s assault charges in 2009, West urged fans to forgive him. Later, in 2020, he gifted Brown a YEEZY truck, accompanied by a letter recognizing Brown’s resilience and hard work.
While West and Brown share a bond, they both engage in high-profile feuds with other hip-hop superstars. West released ‘Like That’ against Drake, while Brown targeted Quavo with ‘Breezy.’ Both diss tracks were well-received, with some considering Brown’s response to be more impactful.
West’s ongoing conflict with Drake remains unresolved, showcasing the complexities of relationships within the music industry.
