Ye Opens Up About Lil Durk's Unreleased Diss and Their Falling Out

Kanye West's recent appearance on Justin LaBoy's The Download podcast was filled with surprising revelations, but perhaps none more unexpected than his disclosure about his falling out with fellow rapper Lil Durk. 

While the interview covered a range of topics from music to personal matters, Kanye's comments about his strained relationship with Durk caught many fans off guard.

According to Kanye, the rift between him and Lil Durk stemmed from a verse the latter submitted for a collaboration. Kanye claimed that Durk included lyrics instructing to use his Yeezy shirt as a doormat, which deeply upset the Yeezy mogul.

Kanye expressed his disappointment, questioning who prompted Durk to include such disrespectful lyrics and lamenting the negative impact it could have on their hometown of Chicago.

Durk sent in a verse and he said, ‘Take my Yeezy shirt off and make it a doormat. He said it four times. I hit him up and said, ‘You’re breaking my heart. Who told you to do this?’ I’m like, ‘Man, this is bad for the city. Who told you to do this?’ It’s like when J. Cole did the diss track or whatever. You got Drake, he’s really paid to come at my neck. But it’s another thing for somebody like that to come around you. It’s the whole friends [and] enemies talk.
