Over the weekend, Ye decided to venture into the world of Twitch streaming and brought his random and unprovoked revelations from X. The 47-year-old rapper claimed Playboi Carti pulled up to one of his hotels while armed with a gun.
It’s unclear when this alleged visit took place, but the artist formerly known as Kanye West sounded very convinced when he briefly explained the story. “I gotta tell you another thing that Carti said telling me on the phone, ni**a,” he said to the camera during his stream. “This ni**a told me he was at the Chateau with a gun, ni**a. What that mean, ni**a? And then ni**a said he don’t be on the internet. It’s like, if you don’t be on the internet, what we talking about then? I ain’t say nothing then.”
Seemingly, the Vultures artist was referring to the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, Calif. In his March interview with DJ Akademiks, they spoke on camera while at the luxury hotel. As for Ye’s interaction with Carti, he wasn’t able to say much else because Twitch allegedly banned him after he streamed for just seven minutes.

Ye and Playboi Carti, once close collaborators, have had a complicated last few months. The multi-time Grammy winner expressed his frustrations with the Atlanta rapper when he included three Kendrick Lamar features on his March album Music, but left off all the songs on which Ye was featured. “I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM,” the controversial artist wrote on X.
West also took issue with the fact that Kim Kardashian did not want their daughter North on a song with him, Diddy, and others, but seemingly gave Carti the green light to work with her. His rants got to a point where the “Evil J0rdan” artist actually tweeted, telling his former mentor to “STFU.”
This is a sharp turn from their success together through the years. In 2021, Carti appeared on the standout Donda track “Off The Grid.” Last year, the duo created a hit together with “Carnival” from Vultures 1, alongside Ty Dolla $ign and Rich The Kid. Watch the video below.
