Things are heating up in the hip-hop world as tensions erupt between Kanye West—now legally known as Ye—and fellow rapper Playboi Carti over a potential collaboration involving Ye’s 11-year-old daughter, North West. The drama has spilled into the public eye following a string of explosive posts, direct call-outs, and fiery reactions online.
The latest dispute began when Carti reached out to Kim Kardashian, Ye’s ex-wife, expressing interest in working with North. In a bold social media post on Tuesday, Carti wrote, “TELL ME NIECE NORTH SEND ME A SONG,” tagging Kim directly. She later shared the post on her Instagram story, signaling some level of openness to the idea, per TMZ.

However, Ye wasn’t having it. Known for his protective stance over his children and public persona, he fired back quickly and harshly. “HEY NORTH YOUR DAD GAVE ME MY BIGGEST SONG AND CO SIGN AND I LEFT HIM OFF OF MY ALBUM BECAUSE OF HIS TWEETS,” Ye posted. He continued sarcastically, “OH BUT NORTH YOU MY NIECE I GOTTA USE YOUR VOCALS.”
Then came the post that fully revealed Ye’s frustration: “I HELD MY TONGUE ABOUT MOT[sic] BEING ON CARTI ALBUM HIM GOING TO MY EX TO ASK MY DAUGHTER TO BE ON A SONG 2 DAYS LATER WAS TOO FAR NOBODY FINNA PLAY WITH ME.”
The feud escalated even further on Wednesday when Carti bluntly clapped back with a four-letter retort on X (formerly Twitter): “YE, STFU [shut the f*** up].” The clash arrives on the heels of Ye’s new track release, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, which features Sean “Diddy” Combs and even includes North West—despite reports that Kim Kardashian was not in favor of her daughter participating.

The public exchange has reignited scrutiny of Ye’s controversial relationship with both the music industry and his former family. While fans are buzzing over the raw drama and the high-profile names involved, many are also raising eyebrows at how quickly private matters involving a child have turned into public spectacle.
As the fallout continues, one thing is clear: the road between Kanye and Carti is no longer just a creative divide—it’s now a full-blown personal war playing out on the main stage.
