Kanye West is on X again with his trademark rants, no punctuation, sheer pandemonium, and the energy to energize a small country. He casually dropped this time:
"Carti told me he the worst enemy to have"
This reads more like a threat of psychological warfare by way of enigmatic Instagram stories and fashion week sightings than it does a rejected line from a supervillain rap cypher. The saga continues, and so does Kanye West's hold on the "most unpredictable man online" title.
Somewhere in between conceptualizing glider boots and remaking punctuation regulations, Kanye West went ahead and dropped that mysterious little bombshell about Carti being "the worst enemy to have." No setup, no afterthought, just energy and possible beef. It's the type of statement that should have a spoiler alert and a dramatic score.
At this juncture, his tweets are no longer social media alerts but ancient scrolls to be collected one day by scholars to decipher under the light of the moon. Carti, no doubt oblivious to having been transformed into an enigmatic boss fight, is still radiating in the dark somewhere, while Kanye West sends like he's firing a missile.
As soon as the news came out, someone took to their X account and commented:
"I think heβs his own worst enemy."
One commentator perfectly captured the essence of it, noting that perhaps Kanye West is fighting more himself than anyone. While Carti is out here getting branded as the worst enemy to have, the actual battle could be Ye vs. Ye, the one side tweeting at 3 AM in metaphors, the other conceptualizing marble-walled bunkers for album listening parties.
It's not so much a beef and more like an internal Marvel crossover featuring Kanye West, also Kanye, with a special guest appearance⦠still Kanye.
Before the fan reactions could even load in sync, Kanye West had already torched the timeline like a man throwing matchsticks into a fireworks factory. Screenshots, memes, and theories began going around quicker than a Yeezy sneaker drop glitching the checkout page.
It's that special moment when the internet collectively thinks: oh no, he's tweeting again, and everyone puts aside what they are doing to watch the madness ensue in real-time like it's the Super Bowl of raw thoughts.
Netizens react as Kanye West said that Carti told him 'he's the worst enemy to have'
Kanye West posted that Playboi Carti said he's "the worst enemy to have," social media picked up the line and ran with it full speed. Timelines were soon filled with over-the-top reenactments, hyperbolic animations, and fabricated voiceovers of Carti saying the line like a video game final boss.
Other users put the quote on scrolls, others juxtaposed it with slow zoom and thunder sound, treating the post like a movie in full cinemagraphic flair. The post became less of a statement and more of an everybody-joins-in-on-the-dramatics affair:
"Carti is washed his fans are losers," a user @MrLaptopGaming hilariously commented.
"Thats like having the special needs as an enemy," another user @ZherkaOfficial hilariously commented.
"Lol he lame bro," a netizen @valneverstop sarcastically expressed.
Of course, some couldn't resist getting in the mix with posts that were not even a connection to the post itself, but were very much connected to the era. Someone could have made the whole thing a great comment on the way Wi-Fi passwords are, while someone else simply posted a completely unrelated picture of a sandwich.
It's the old trick: show up, throw something unrelated, and step back and let the chaos unfold. The comments devolved into a free-for-all, with sense giving way to raw, unchecked internet power:
"imagine being enemies with carti when the real opp is linear time itself. spiritual warfare goes beyond mortal beef, bro. interdimensional entities laughing at these surface level conflicts while reality itself gets restructured. /bro," a user @brometheus0x hilariously commented.
"Broβ¦.what?," another user @supremekleintel hilariously commented.
"The Carti fans working overtime in the replies It's funny but at the same time sad," a netizen @ishaansangha sarcastically commented.
And as always, the peanut gallery was there in force, doling out gratuitous wisdom and sheer drivel in equal proportions. There were some remarks so off-point, they were as if they belonged to another universe in which Kanye West and Carti were sitting over a coffee discussing existential crises. Others chimed in with 'hot takes' like this is just like the plot of Inception or 'did anyone else notice Carti has an unmatched glow-up?'
It's that special brand of commentary where the only goal is to be heard, not necessarily make sense, but hey, the timeline was entertained either way:
"Kanye keeps turning his friends into beefs, like I love ye but heβs obviously the problem," a user @Dayscarr commented.
"Leave Carti alone," another user @ladidaix commented.
"Heβs his own worst enemy and he knows it," another netizen @hermesmeta sarcastically commented.
"Imagine that boxing match lol Ye would smoke Carti like an opp pack," a netizen @trustamundo sarcastically wrote.
Kanye West said Playboi Carti showed up to his hotel with a gun
In a recent Twitch stream that read like a trippy podcast starring Kanye West himself, he offhandedly revealed that Playboi Carti reportedly rolled up to his Chateau Marmont room with a gun once. The anecdote slipped in amidst random musings on fashion, music, and spiritual battles, so it was hard to discern if this was something that actually happened, a metaphor, or just Ye's full-on storytelling. Kanye West said:
"I got to tell you another thing that Carti said to me on the phone, n***a. "This n***a told me he was at the Chateau [Marmont hotel] with a gun, n***a. What that mean, n***a? And the n***a say he don't be on the Internet. It's like, if you don't be on the Internet, what are we talking about, then? I ain't say nothing, then."
Audiences weren't certain if they should clip it for evidence or remix it as a lo-fi beat, but the moment certainly helped to add yet another twist to the always-growing Kanye West cinematic universe.
The rise and fall of Kanye West and Playboi Carti's creative partnership
What was originally a hopeful artistic collaboration between Kanye West and Playboi Carti has lately become murky waters. Their collaborative work on tracks like Go2DaMoon and Off The Grid previously seemed to create an atmosphere of respect for the arts on both sides, but the harmony was not maintained.
Following Carti releasing his album MUSIC, tensions were said to have ratcheted up, Kanye West allegedly had an irking after he had not been put on a track that he wanted to be featured on. Rather than discuss the issue between themselves, however, it all came to a head in public as Kanye vented on X and released an outburst of messages announcing the end of their friendship.
Carti shot back in kind, and the reaction has since been one of growing silence between the two. Kanye's latest allegations seem to serve only to illustrate how far apart they have since diverged from those working heights they attained through collaboration, and every advancement forces them yet further away from that coupling once achieved.
The feud between Playboi Carti and Kanye West keeps going from bad to worse, with Kanye's recent assertion that Carti referred to him as "the worst enemy to have" fueling their public drama. What began as a musical collaboration now appears to be marred by constant differences, with fans wondering if the two can ever reconcile.
