Kanye West and JAY-Z‘s relationship has grown rocky over the last eight years, and newly surfaced comments from the former might not help matters.
On Wednesday (August 7), conversative political commentator Candace Owens uploaded a previously unreleased interview with Ye that was filmed in October 2022 following the backlash to his “White Lives Matter” shirt and antisemetic comments.
During the conversation, Owens spoke about her admiration of JAY-Z, to which Kanye crudely replied: “I just think [Be]yoncé need to let him go get some pussy, seriously,” before bursting into laughter as Owens giggled awkwardly along with him.
Further suggesting that Hov should seek sexual pleasure outside of his marriage, Ye added: “Go to the DR [Dominican Republic] or something, you know what I mean?” before saying: “I don’t know if you’re gonna run that line or not.”
The Chicago native also called his former Roc-A-Fella label boss “the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration,” while praising Drake as “the best rapper ever by the numbers.”
"I just think [Beyoncé] need to let him go get some p*ssy, seriously."

Kanye West’s remarks are unlikely to sit well with JAY-Z considering the last time he mentioned his family in a negative light the Watch the Throne collaborators fell out.
During his ill-fated Saint Pablo Tour in 2016, West expressed disappointment that his children hadn’t been invited to play with Jay and Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy.
At another show, he called out Jigga for not returning his phone calls, saying: “I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Just call me. Talk to me like a man.”
The Roc Nation mogul later addressed Ye’s comments on his 4:44 track “Kill Jay Z,” rapping: “You dropped outta school, you lost your principles / I know people backstab you, I felt bad too / But this ‘fuck everybody’ attitude ain’t natural / But you ain’t a saint, this ain’t Kumba-Ye.
“But you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye / You gave him twenty million without blinkin’ / He gave you twenty minutes on stage, fuck was he thinkin’? / ‘Fuck wrong with everybody?’ is what you sayin’ / But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane.”
Jay also admitted in an interview with the Rap Radar Podcast that he felt Kanye “crossed the line” by mentioning his wife and daughter, adding: “Now that’s a problem with me.”
Though the rap titans eventually reunited on the Donda song “Jail” in 2021, Kanye has continued to air his grievances with his “Big Brother.”
In his explosive Drink Champs interview later that year, he called Hov “selfish” for keeping the Justin Timberlake-assisted “Holy Grail” for his solo album Magna Carta Holy Grail instead of their Watch the Throne collaboration.
Hahahaha tell ’em, Ye! She’s a snotty bitch and deserves to be cheated on.
Yes, well both of them already been cheating off each other through out the years. Also, Jay Z is P. Diddy Bitch so he is gay as well lol…People is not smart if they really think Beyonce was faithful to Jay Z as if I am going to believe that….But I guess they are really Bonnie & Clyde what a joke it is the irony of it! It is what it is for them!
But Em was a junky and popping pills almost OD like a junky. great master of words and putting rhymes together can’t deny that but his music sucks. People love to hate on game, which I totally understand why, but don’t tell me Em made an album better than Documentary! He didn’t I don’t care if game had 100 features so what his album was still a classic. I also don’t want to hear about how Em went diamond so what ? Puffy went platinum too does that put him up there in category with greats ? Em not top 5 no way not even top 10. Top 5 goes to:
2pac
Biggie
DMX
Lil Wayne
Could argue Jay Z
Why are you typing essays about Eminem in a story about Kanye ?
That’s just gay greg using his alternate name
You’re a peon you don’t know nuthin!
Greg still losing his mind over drake being a cornball pedo. He needs meds more than kanye
Jay is about to dust off his mic and blast LL Cool J and Ye lol. Don’t wake a sleeping lyrical giant!
Jay Z who? The rapper? That skinny n1gga on the boat? The fuck outta here.

A interview from 2022, and now you bring this up 🤡 a$$ bitch. Carry on!!!
