“I was jealous of Elon”- Ye Drops Explicit Envy Bombs on Drake, Elon Musk, and Virgil Abloh, Gets Banned Midway

In a city where dreams wear designer and chaos is the only trend, Ye, formerly Kanye West, is a force of nature. But unlike the wild cards the entertainment capital usually hands out, this rebel shows no limitations. With his X-rated ammunition armed at all times, the Atlanta native has been warped in a battle of his own where Ye stands against the whole world. However, amidst the anticipation for sonic detonators in ‘WW3,’ the rapper recently dropped envy bombs on Drake, Elon Musk, and Virgil Abloh in the most unexpected row of rants yet.

While Ye’s no-holds-barred era is not news, his backhanded compliments cost him another streaming exile.

In another unexpected episode of Ye rants, the rapper went live on Twitch for about 39 minutes under Yeezy Stream only to get banned in between. Gregor Estevan shared a 30-second-long clip from the live-stream on X, where Ye claimed, “I was jealous of Elon,” after dropping the envy bombs for Drake and Virgil Abloh. The rapper even took a detour about his fallout with Musk to reaffirm that he still allowed him on his X platform.

What did the allowance give Ye? The freedom to spew antisemitic remarks and write every other tweet that raised an eyebrow or more. To Ye, that social liberation is equivalent to a guy going to Louis Vuitton with a credit card that “never goes off.” While, of course, Ye’s X presence may be the only retail therapy that does not cost a fortune, unfortunately, his rants on Twitch surely do, resulting in a premium price of suspension.

Though Ye’s confessions may come as a surprise, this is actually the second time he talked about the envy factor. The only difference being the last time it was about Kendrick Lamar.

When Ye admitted to being jealous of Kendrick Lamar

In the bombshell Rumble interview with DJ Akademiks last March, Ye aimed a few diabolical shots at Kendrick Lamar before admitting he never really had a beef or problem with him. What unnerved him, though, was how “they used Kendrick” and K-Dot claiming he is No.1. While there was widespread speculation that his constant running on K-Dot’s tail stemmed from jealousy, Ye finally admitted to it.

“I was jealous that Kendrick was on Carti’s album,” Ye confessed, speaking of Playboi Carti’s ‘MUSIC’ album featuring Lamar thrice. But before his admission, he asked a religious question, if people even visit the church anymore, claiming God is “angry” and “jealous” in nature. According to the agent of chaos, he is no less than a god-like figure, more precisely, “the closest thing to God on Earth.” So, even his envy is an act of God because, to him, he acts “just like how God acts.”
