Kanye West‘s feud with Kid Cudi has been interesting, to say the least, and now things are spilling over to their mutual friends. Celebrity jeweler Ben Baller, who has close ties to both artists having made several chains for them over the years, isn’t cool with Kanye’s attacks on Cudi.
On Tuesday (February 15), TMZ caught up with Ben Baller, who tweeted and deleted his feelings toward Kanye’s antics over the weekend. According to Baller, Ye recently reached out to him about getting a dove chain made, but he’s in no rush to fulfill that request.
“It’s nothing serious. I mean, he’s wanted a chain for a while. Actually, Cudi hit me up about it,” he said. “I talk to Cudi almost every day. He was like, ‘Hey man, Kanye wants your phone number, he wants to get this chain done.’ Then [Kanye] had one of his employees reach out to me and then he had Justin LaBoy reach out to me. Then I ran into him the other day and I was kinda like, ‘I don’t know, I’m busy.'”
He continued, “I got no problem with him directly, but it’s he’s attacking our mutual friend. I’m close with Cudi and [Kanye’s] obviously close with him, so it’s just a weird situation. Cudi had no idea what he was talking about. He just got back from Paris, he’s just chilling and then Ye just immediately attacks him. I felt like, ‘Come on, that wasn’t cool.'”
Ben Baller later explained he deleted his tweets about Kanye after the Chicago rap icon took down his Instagram posts that were aimed at Kid Cudi, but he “wasn’t about to let Cudi start catching bullets for no reason,” especially because he thinks Cudi is “the nicest guy in the world.”

The famed jeweler didn’t hold back when weighing in on the situation over the weekend. “I seen Kanye a few nights ago. ‘Oh when you gonna make me this dove chain?’ Never bitch! You even smell like coochie. Scott my bro for life,” he tweeted.
He followed up with, “Kanye a bitch. The cap? Cudi tried to get me to make @kanyewest a chain 2 years ago. Justin Laboy tried 2 months ago. I ain’t making no weak ass lame dove chain for that mental case. You dumbasses forget I was apart of Pastelle? Head of jewelry?”
However, Ben Baller hasn’t completely closed the door on making the dove chain for Kanye West, who he wants to see stay off the internet and focus on being a good father.
“You know what?” he said. “If him and Cudi get real good again … and Cud’s like, ‘Yo man, let’s get this chain going,’ then I’m in.”
What ever happened to business never personal ? Stay out of that shit and get your money fool. Fuck cancel culture and all who creates it.
I would normally agree but with Kanye and his hoe troll antics, he gone fuck up yo bag either way, like look at the Drake incident, he had people picking sides fucking up they bag and now he back sucking Drake dick and got these people money fucked up because he was on his personal felling bs, his personal feelings is gone fuck up yo money smh.
It was actually the other way around from how I saw it. Drake messed other folks money up. Drake will never invest anything in other artist he just jumps on a track and keeps it pushin (Pun intended). However Ye actually will rock out with certain artist on multiple songs, executive producing, or just production overall. It’s more long term value in that connect versus just a featured. Ask Blocboy J how that went LMAO
It’s good to see that some people still believe in loyalty. Fuck that bag! The only thing that he should have done differently is stay off of social media with the BS. You stand up for the people that stood up for you. Cudi is his guy and Ye is just business. There will be more Ye’s coming to do business.
