Kanye West has responded to Travis Scott‘s recent comments about their relationship, and made his position very clear – they’re not family.
La Flame’s cover story for Complex was published this week, where he spoke quite highly of Ye. It’s to be noted, however, the interview was conducted in early February, which may have been just before Trav unfollowed Ye on social media amid his antisemitic tirade against Jewish people.
“That’s my kids’ uncle,” he said of Kanye in the new interview. “That guy took me in when I was young, when I was like 19. He taught me a lot about music. And not even just ‘taught’ me, but he allowed me to experience the creation of music. To create music with him, it’s what helped me grow, making a lot of beats. Whether it’s writing and collabing on music and film or clothes or whatever the fuck it is, just constantly learning.”
In a new live stream after the story hit the web on Tuesday (April 8), Ye shot down claims of being family and once again accused the Kardashian/Jenner women of controlling their kids.

“I read something about Trav commenting on my comments and I’m just like, bro all this idea of uncle and brother? This ain’t no actual family,” Ye said. “There’s no men who have footing in the situation. We don’t come together and actually have any control of our kids. It’s like we so concerned about being in the industry that we let our kids get indoctrinated to the industry.
“So when they asked Trav [about me in his new interview, it was] literally textbook Jewish response like, ‘Ah man, that’s my kids’ uncle.’ N-gga you not talking about how I was on the original Future Bounce [‘Telekinesis’] and then you put Future on it and had me bounce. And there’s just no conversation and it’s all, ‘We gon’ do some hugs afterwards.’ And that’s why I was like, I’m not gonna take it! There’s no more hugs.”

He then seemingly wanted to continue, but ultimately decided to pivot to other more pressing matters on his mind: “I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF A TRAVIS TWEET BUT THEN I JUST DIDNT CARE NOW BACK TO THESE WOKE FAT BITCHES PLASTIC SURGERY GIVES PEOPLE A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.”
The pair have a longstanding relationship which includes an extensive number of collaborations.
Ye’s latest remarks arrive amid a new social media spree, which found him referencing his fractured relationship with JAY-Z, long-running issues with Tyler, The Creator and some of the famous women he claims to have slept with.
