Consequence‘s friendliness towards Kanye West seems to have finally run out, as the rapper-turned-producer has aired out his longtime friend in an open letter that has since gone viral.
The Queens native took to his Instagram page on Thursday (December 28) to post the open letter, which he shared underneath a reposted advertisement of the new YZY Pods footwear.

“I’m posting this clip of the YZY Pods because I was asked to by a staff member but I have to get something off my chest regardless of the consequences…,” he said. “I have always lent my love, support and expertise to YE since ConMan Productions circa 2002. So @kanyewest NEVER again say in public or to others in private that you are ALONE. That’s the biggest SLAP IN THE FACE you could give to your TEAM.
“Guys like me, Don C, Monop, GL, Doe,IBN,Arrow and even Virgil (RIP) have given you big portions of our Adult lives so that we could all be ‘The Bulls.’ But we didn’t help you become Jordan so you could turn into Jerry Krause and start playing 3D Musical chairs wit da bros!!!”

Cons concluded: “You can be the one with the Money. And even the Power. But I will always need my RESPECT. If you can apologize to the Jewish community in Hebrew. Then maybe you should apologize to a few of your guys in English. Love you bro. But This Is 192.”

In the past, Consequence has taken other people to task for “abandoning” Kanye West — even his fellow G.O.O.D. Music compatriots.
At the top of the year, he aired out Pusha T for cutting ties with Ye, calling his actions “disgusting.”

“When I see something like that, I’m conflicted, I’m disgusted,” he said. “G.O.O.D. Music is something I helped build with my bare hands…so that’s why I’m disgusted when somebody who wasn’t there from the start and [whose] situation was compromised comes along, and then when Ye is in a situation that he talked himself into — he gotta be responsible for that, 100 percent — but we not gonna stick together?”
He added: “Whether I agree with Kanye or not, it’s not the principle of that. Pusha T done told you all this street shit, and now we doing this industry shit? Nah.”
The Queens native went on to claim that Pusha’s former role as G.O.O.D. Music president carried no real importance and said his issues with Kanye stem from not being allowed to perform at his third Donda listening party in Chicago in 2021.
In October, Cons posted a video questioning his fellow G.O.O.D. Music alumni for not coming to Ye’s aid.

“Where everybody else at?!” he asked in the clip. “I’m putting out an APB on G.O.O.D. Music. Everybody who got a check with Ye, where you at? You ain’t got nothin’ to do with this?! Why ain’t nobody else got nothin’ to do with this? Why I’m the only one in the headlines? I’m always the only one in the headlines! You know why? ‘Cause I’m the one, n-gga.”
In his February 2023 song “Disappointed,” Consequence continues to push this message, rapping about how quick Ye’s signees were to disappear when things got tough despite having made loads of money thanks to the hitmaker’s talents.

“Everything I did in rap helped n-ggas get rich/ So they could trick on their bitch and put food on the table/ But when we in a crisis you can see who’s ungrateful/ The whole label ran instead of having Ye’s back/ I guess crabs in a barrel is the curse of being Black,” he raps.
