Following his recent grim full-cap social media rant, Kayne West has given a new interview to DJ Akademiks where he appeared to make light of the vile online attack

Disgraced Kanye West has doubled down on the social media rant where he took aim at Jay-Z and Beyoncé and their children. The Carter family-aimed outburst arrived when the controversial rapper randomly asked his followers: “WAIT HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN JAY Z AND BEYONCES YOUNGER KIDS THEYRE R——D”, in what kick-started a series of vile posts on X two weeks ago.

“NO LIKE LITERALLY AND THIS IS WHY ARTIFICIAL INSEMANATION IS SUCH A BLESSING. HAVING R——D CHILDREN IS A CHOICE”, he continued. The 48-year-old wasn’t finished there and said: “IF TWITTER TAKE MY S— DOWN THEM SO BE IT BUT I NEED YALL TO NO JAY Z OR NOBODY HAVE NO POWER OVER ME”.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z – one-time friends of Kanye – share Blue Ivy Carter, 13, and twins, Rumi Carter and Sir Carter, both seven. In a second post Kanye fumed, “AT LEAST JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ GET TO RAISE THEIR R——D ASS KIDS,” referring to the relationship he has with his own children, whom he shares with his ex Kim Kardashian.

Now in a new interview with DJ Akademiks, he was asked if his remarks crossed a line. He claims his post about Jay-Z and his family makes the “Nazi-s**t” (he does) not seem as bad. Then, seemingly making light of the post, he asked the record producer if he feels that was “one of his best or one of his strongest”.

Continuing his all-caps rant in mid-March, the Flashing Lights hitmaker then wrote: “AINT NO CELEBRITY EVER SAID NOTHING TO COME TO MY AID WHEN IT CAME TO THESE WHITE WOMEN TAKING MY KIDS CAUSE THEY WAS MAD I WAS WEARING TRUMP HAT”.

As he doubled down on his fabs at the A-lister couple, adding, “F–K JAY Z AND HIS WHOLE FAMILY ESPECIALLY HIS SHOOTERS”. In another post Kanye shut down speculation that Jay-Z made him take down the posts, claiming, “SOMEBODY FROM MY MUSIC TEAM CALLED ME AND BEGGED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN AND SPOKE ON TWITTER BANNING ETC. IM SOOOO MAD I TOOK THAT DOWN”.

Kanye, mired in controversy in recent years, reiterated his reason for deleting the post again, writing, “THE ONLY THING THAT I WAS MAD ABOUT IN THE LAST FEW HOURS WAS TAKING THAT JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ TWEET DOWN DAME DASH SIGNED ME BTW NOT JAY Z”.

He also insisted that he doesn’t regret posting the tasteless posts aimed at the Carters, saying, “CONCERNING THE JAY Z AND BEYONCÉ TWEET N—-S SAID I WOUKD REGRET IT NOOOO I REGRET TAKING IT DOWN MY TWITTER IS A ONE WAY CONVERSION”.

While at one point Kanye considered Jay-Z to be his “big brother”, he has been going at the A-lister pair for years. Aside from repeatedly accusing the Young Forever rapper of being a bad friend, he also mocked the couple’s marriage during a 2022 interview with Candace Owens.

“I just think Beyoncé need to let him go get some p—y, serious”, he asserted, adding, “Go to the]Dominican Republic] or something, you know what I mean”. Kanye previously went viral for claiming Jay-Z will send “shooters” his way, which he seemed to hint at again in his recent X outburst. He took aim at the Roc-A-Fella founder for failing to check in on him, and pleaded, “Please don’t send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man”.
