Kanye West ignited the rap world with his latest Instagram post, sparking heated debate. In it, Ye claimed to have outshined each music titan Kendrick Lamar and Drake on separate events.
Kanye West fires shots at both Kendrick Lamar and Drake in new Instagram post:
“EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED
KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA”“EVERYONE KNOWS I WASHED DRAKE
AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT” PIC.TWITTER.COM/MQF0TPZJTS— Daily Loud (@DailyLoud) MARCH 28, 2024
Setting off the fireworks, Ye declared he ”washed” Kendrick Lamar on their collaboration ”No More Parties in L.A”.This platinum-selling song, even though commercially a success, failed to crack the Billboard Hot hundred; however, in keeping with Ye, lyrically, he dominated.

Ye wasn’t completed there. He boldly stated he ”washed” Drake during the 2021 Larry Hoover Benefit live performance.
Kanye extended his claims beyond track, boasting about his having an impact on on fashion through ”bringing Adidas into prominence” and his chart-topping comeback after dealing with controversies. As expected, Ye‘s post has sharply divided evaluations inside the hip-hop network.
The timing of Ye‘s post is interesting. He calls himself the “GOAT” (Greatest Of All Time). He did this just a week after the release of Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” The song features a verse by Kendrick Lamar, which many think targets Drake and J. Cole. Is Ye inserting himself into the ongoing Kendrick-Drake feud?
Upcoming Album at the Horizon? With rumors swirling about a potential May third launch date for Ye’s “Vultures 2,” some speculate this on line brawl is probably a strategic flow to drum up attention.
Who’s the Real GOAT? You Decide! Kanye has sparked the verbal exchange, but the query stays: Does the crown indeed belong to Ye or is it some other artist entirely?
