Kanye West makes controversial remarks about Beyoncé and Jay-Z in a resurfaced interview.
Kanye West has once again sparked controversy with his comments, this time involving two of the biggest names in the music industry: Jay-Z and Beyoncé. In an interview with political commentator Candace Owens, which was recorded in October 2022 and recently uploaded to YouTube, West made a surprising suggestion about Beyoncé’s marriage to Jay-Z.
During the interview, the topic turned to Jay-Z’s impact on the business and music industry. Kanye, who is known for his candid and often controversial opinions, didn’t hold back. After acknowledging that Drake might be the best artist statistically, he asserted that Jay-Z is the best rhymer who inspires others. Kanye then offered an unexpected piece of advice for Beyoncé.
“I just think ’Yoncé need to let him go get some p**sy, seriously,” Kanye said around the 35-minute mark of the interview.
He elaborated further by suggesting that Jay-Z should take a break and visit the Dominican Republic to unwind. This comment quickly garnered attention online, as it’s not the first time Kanye has stirred the pot with remarks about his peers.
The conversation didn’t stop there. Candace Owens asked Kanye about his relationship with Jay-Z, which has been complicated over the years. Instead of giving a straightforward answer, Kanye likened their bond to that of firefighters who are willing to run into danger to save lives. “I just think like, man, it’s like Jay-Z is like the head, head, head, you know. We’re under the fire and we’re the firefighters,” Kanye explained. “But in order to be a good firefighter, you got to be willing to run into that fire and that’s what makes me the number one firefighter.”
Kanye and Jay-Z have a long history together, both as friends and collaborators. They famously worked together on the critically acclaimed album Watch the Throne and several other projects. However, their friendship has been rocky in recent years. Tensions seemed to rise when Jay-Z and Beyoncé skipped Kanye’s wedding to Kim Kardashian in 2014, a move that reportedly hurt Kanye deeply. By 2016, Kanye publicly criticized Jay-Z during a rant at his Saint Pablo Tour in Sacramento, California, expressing disappointment that Jay-Z hadn’t reached out to him during difficult times.
The tension between the two continued, with Jay-Z allegedly throwing shade at Kanye on his song “Kill Jay Z.” Despite the ups and downs in their relationship, Jay-Z did feature on Kanye’s 2021 track “Jail” from the Donda album, leading some fans to hope that their friendship might be on the mend.
In December 2023, Kanye mentioned Jay-Z again during his Vultures rave event in Las Vegas, expressing frustration that Jay-Z, along with other major figures like Drake and Adidas, didn’t support him the previous year. “Who you think the old man call? When we put Drake on stage, who you think the old man call? You know what I’m saying?” Kanye ranted, highlighting the perceived lack of support from those he once considered close allies.
Kanye’s recent comments have reignited discussions about the complex relationship between him and Jay-Z. While it’s unclear how Jay-Z and Beyoncé will respond to Kanye’s remarks, the comments have certainly added fuel to the ongoing speculation about their friendship.
As always, Kanye’s outspoken nature continues to make headlines, and his latest comments are no exception. Fans and critics alike are left wondering what impact, if any, these remarks will have on his relationship with Jay-Z and Beyoncé. In the world of hip-hop, where loyalty and respect are paramount, Kanye’s words have once again sparked debate and conversation across the industry.
