It’s been nearly one year since Maybach Music Group rapper Wale threatened Complex staff via phone after not being included on their “50 Best Albums of 2013” list. Wale has since put his differences with the publication aside and was recently featured in a Complex video poking fun of his phone rant.
Joined by comedian/actor Jerry Seinfeld, Wale appears in a diner and proceeds to discuss not being included on Complex’s list.
Wale appears calm throughout the video and even questions if he should work harder while a riled up Seinfeld explains why Wale should be upset about not being included on the list.
“I read Complex. I know what’s on Complex,” Jerry Seinfeld said during the video. “The list is what determines who matters in this business. No, you’ve already done your best work. It’s behind you. If you met them on the street, you know what they would say? That they have total respect for you. There’s something personal here.”
Seinfeld then proceeds to tell Wale that he should call those at Complex and demand to know why he wasn’t included on the list. The video then ends with Wale calling the Complex offices.
It was in December of last year when Wale phoned the Complex offices to discuss his lack of inclusion on their “50 Best Albums of 2013” list. The rapper spoke directly with Complex staff member Insanul Ahmed and even informed Ahmed to “Get the security ready” at one point during the conversation.
A portion of Wale’s phone rant can be found below:
“Do you think y’all being a responsible publication by continuously to fuckin’ like…do all that petty shit?” he said. “At this point, you know it’s got to be personal. You tellin’ me it’s not personal is like a bold face lie. To be omitted from every type of list that y’all do or be at the bottom of it or every type of way that y’all can omit me, y’all will…Fuck you, dog. You know it’s disrespect. I swear to God I’ll come to that office and start knocking niggas the fuck out. Y’all wanna see some ghetto ignorant shit? That’s what y’all promote. That’s the only thing y’all promote from niggas.”
lmao this was jokes
Wale and Jerry about to drop a classic album on us before Officer Ricky gives his fans 1 classic.
No doubt this will be a classic for both wale and seinfield. Rozay already got classics though. He’s dropping another one next week.
Complex is on some pussy ass sucker shit! Wallay threatens to put hands on their staff for leaving him off a best of list and they give him a cover?
I guess we all know they wouldn’t give him a cover if Seinfeld wasn’t involved.
I hope to god they leave him off the list again this year on GP.
im glad he can joke about his lil sissy fit temper tantrum cause at the time he was far from joking around
young whoopi doin his thang bruh, thats fucking SEINFELD, shouts to rozay for cuttin the check
wale is top 10 nowaydays, makes meaningful music

Great marketing and publicity on the Wale side, Seinfeld is HUGE, I have no idea why a mega star Jew would be dabbling with a HipHop star but I guess he digs Wale and his music. salute.
lol you gotta be kidding, can you imagine jerry digging Wale’s music, let alone any hip-hop, i cant
It’s because he paid respects with that album More about Nothing
Wale is a 15 year old white girl trapped in the body of a 30 year old Nigerian.
