Kanye West is back in the headlines - although...when is he not? This time it’s not about fashion or music but because he canceled a whole livestream and blocked Adin Ross just for calling him 'sir' four times. Yep, four. Mr. West wasn't feeling too formal that day. Maybe he wanted "Your Highness"? "Yeezus the Almighty"? "Artist Formerly known as Kanye?" Who knows!
At this point, Kanye’s unpredictability is more consistent than his album releases. Whoever meets you will always do it with a singular vow: "Ye" and pray for the best.
West had been in discussions with Ross about a potential livestream collaboration when he unexpectedly broadcast their conversation on Twitter. During their exchange, Ye asked Ross to address him as Sir, a request which Ross granted and mixed with a hint of sarcastic humor.
Ross jokingly asked: Why was it that Kai Cenat canceled Ye's scheduled appearance on his platform? However, West didn’t take kindly to Ross’s tone. He took it as an insult that led him to lash out and post a tirade filled with anti-Semitic rhetoric.
When Kanye said that he prefers to be called 'sir,' Adin replied:
"Yes sir, I will refer to you as sir. May I call you in two minutes, sir?,” Adin began, explaining, “I just found out Kai did that too from a post, not fully sure why. I been wanting to do our stream since 2022, sir."
When Kanye insisted on being called "sir," Adin Ross complied and did so repeatedly, until the whole interaction started to resemble a malfunctioning voice assistant rather than a show of respect.
This did not sit well with Ye, and what had begun as a polite request soon ballooned into a jaw-droppingly awkward standoff, another reminder that when it comes to Kanye, even "sir" can be a gamble. We can see in the chat's screenshot, Ye replied:
"You saying sir four times was condescending. I’m blocking you. NOBODY FINNA PLAY WITH ME. HOW Y’ALL SAY IT. NEVER AGAIN."
The internet did not hesitate to respond, making the entire exchange a meme goldmine. Some quipped that Adin Ross had discovered a hidden speedrun to Kanye's blocklist, while others pictured Ye drawing up a formal list of sanctioned honorifics. However, The last interaction between the two came from Adin:
"Yea ggs. Drake better."
Discussions ensued as to whether Ross would have attempted to call him "Your Yeeziness" or if Kanye was merely introducing a new etiquette rulebook. Either way, the entire ordeal soon became another headline in the ever-expanding list of surprising Kanye moments.
