Playboi Carti responded very bluntly to all the wild things Ye had to say about him on social media.
The artist formerly known as Kanye West has spent the past few days trashing Carti and several other artists he collaborated with in a hateful tirade on X. He dissed the Atlanta rapper for asking his ex-wife Kim Kardashian to help secure a collaboration with the former couple's eldest daughter North West. He also accused him of purposely keeping him off his hit album MUSIC. In the early hours of Wednesday morning, March 19, Carti issued a brief response to Ye's allegations.
"YE STFU," Carti posted to his X account.

Carti's response came after Ye spent the day talking about him. The Chicago native claimed he initially held his tongue about not being on Carti's album before he learned about his request to work with North. Later, Ye dragged the mother of Carti's child Iggy Azalea into the drama by mentioning her name in a couple of posts and accused Carti of being a "woman beater." In response, Iggy Azalea pleaded for Ye to stop talking about her and her son.
"Ye, I understand the point you want to make," she wrote on X. "I say this with kindness & as a mother: Please, leave my child out of this. At the end of the day, Jordan has other children (less famous… Does it matter?) but it seems only my son gets harassed in perpetuity about or on behalf of a man he has no relationship with."
"Does he read it? No. Hes a child," she continued. "But it creates a digital legacy & an odd (s***ty) situation for him to one day discover & endure in perpetuity from strangers online. Can I please have some peace? Can my son have some peace?"
Playboi Carti and Iggy Azalea weren't the only celebrities Ye targeted. He also posted numerous degrading comments about JAY-Z, Beyoncé and their kids as well as Jim Jones, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, Cassie and others. Neither of the aforementioned artists has responded to his posts except Jones, who still stands by Ye despite his hateful rhetoric.
"I love KanYE," he wrote.
