Kanye West Is ‘Out the Sunken Place’ and Unleashes on Nick Cannon, Drake and Tyson Beckford In Defense of Kim Kardashian

Kanye West recently posted a video where he lashed out at Nick Cannon, Drake and Tyson Beckford for mentioning his wife Kim Kardashian.

In a recent interview, Cannon talked about Kardashian’s body, namely her butt and it angered the Chicago producer.

“I just wanted to express some things that weren’t sitting right in my spirit,” Kanye began. “Now that I’m up out the sunken place I can be Ye and express how I feel … First of all, I want to address Nick Cannon. I understand you used to date my wife, but if you get in an interview and someone brings my wife up, you say I respect that man. I ain’t speaking on that.”

Then it was Drake’s turn who’s single “In My Feelings” that dropped in July was allegedly referencing Kim by using her family nickname “Ki-Ki”. Kanye said Drake should’ve cleared up the rumor once it began.

Ye also doubled down on something he said earlier this month: That he didn’t tell Pusha T that Drake had a child. 

“Now if I wasn’t in a medicated state, I might’ve thought or had the wherewithal to say ‘Hey Pusha, don’t diss Drake on my beat,’ and I spoke about that and took accountability for that,” Kanye stated.

“Now, what I’m looking for my spirit to take accountability is, the fact there’s people making rumors or thinking that you f—– my wife and you not saying nothing, and you carrying it like that, that don’t sit well with my spirit,” he added.

Kanye then said he had a problem with an unreleased song that Drake played him which includes Future. The cut mentioned Ye’s sister-in-laws Kylie and Kendal Jenner, and the Chicago producer said it was wrong of him to mention them.

“But when you played that record for me in the studio that said ’Yo, we got some Kylie, we got some Kendalls,’ I told you ‘Travis [Scott] is your man. Don’t make no record like that. That man just had a baby with her.’”

Kanye also told Drake that he shouldn’t mention anyone in his family, and it doesn’t matter if they never speak again, even though he doesn’t truly want that.

Then Beckford caught it.

If you recall, he got into an argument with Kardashian after he criticized her body and she suggested he was gay.

“Don’t speak on my wife,” Kanye told the longtime model. “None of y’all speak on my wife, period. What is you talking about? We’re married, we’re in love, we’re a family.”

In closing, he invited all three men to a conversation, so they can work out a solution.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
