Scott Storch may have once looked to Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, for musical aspiration, but the Chicago musician’s recent rhetoric has flipped the script. While speaking on the PBD Podcast, the 51-year-old called Ye a “f**king piece of sh*t” for his “disrespect” to Jewish people.
“He used to be one of my musical heroes,” relayed the New York native. “The music is still great, and that won’t change, but as a person who was my friend and somebody I thought was an amazing person. One of the most creative people, turned out to be a f**king piece of sh*t. And I will f**king lose it if I see this guy in public.”
He continued, “The disrespect that this man did to Jewish people and just labeling us, and glorifying Hitler and sh*t like that, and then doing it again and really going for the jugular. If I was in the room, I would probably f**king crack him in the face. It broke my heart.”
After he explained that he sent Ye a message describing his heartbreak, Storch continued, “What if motherf**kers walk around talking about glorifying slavery and shi* like that, how does that work? How are you going to do that and hurt so many people… We lost Kanye. I threw out all my Yeezys.”
In recent years, many of Ye’s public outbursts have had antisemitic rhetoric. The Grammy winner has also been accused of making antisemitic remarks in private professional settings, resulting in legal action. Earlier this year, he faced backlash for attempting to market and sell swastika merchandise.
“I am done with antisemitism,” declared Ye in May according to Billboard. “I love all people. God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused. I forgive those who have caused me pain. Thank you God.”

Also, while on the podcast, Storch reflected on his relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs amid the disgraced mogul’s sex trafficking trial.
“He’s gangster for sure. He’s from New York, like he’s not a pu**y. Is he a homosexual? Bisexual? Everybody’s trying to push that. Is he a cuck, which is like watching other … I wasn’t in the room,” shared Storch.
“I do know I felt like at one point he tried to flirt with me and sh*t and I was just like ‘I’m good on that type of sh*t.’ I’m going to leave it simple like that. It is what it is. He’s my homie.”
