Kanye West Blames "The Devil" for Drake's Spotify Slide, Takes Shots at Kendrick and Tyler

In classic Kanye West chaos style, social media was chaotic when Kendrick Lamar and SZA's new song "Luther" dethroned Drake's "NOKIA" atop the U.S. Spotify charts. Kanye was never one to swallow his tongue, especially concerning the hated one/love of his life, Drake. Kanye went full speed ahead, throwing allegations that perhaps some higher power was cheating with the math.

"It's a love-hate relationship for Drake... I love everybody... all positive energy … No one mentions this, but man, this original super bad blood … Why it's down ten feet," Kanye blazed in one post. "They're coming for Drizzy, huh?

Kanye took the discussion far beyond chart position, venturing deep into religious imagery. "I hear the devil asks God permission before he teaches sinners their lesson," he wrote. Sh-t, the Devil got free reign to get at Drake."

Kanye took the opportunity to throw not-so-subtle pokes at Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, The Creator, referring to them as "the two most overrated so-called artists." Oh, and he also said Kendrick "can not rap." If anyone thought Kanye would proceed cautiously, they haven't been paying attention these past two decades.

Yet, buried in the rants and chaos, there was even a slight positive note if you looked carefully. Kanye paused for a second to tip his cap to Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, the CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment. "Man, Top Dawg has always been a real one, great energy, and just want to say this fell upon my heart to write this amongst all my Kendrick slander," he wrote, trying to temper his harsher judgments with a little bit of love.

While complimenting Top Dawg, Kanye couldn't help but remind everyone of his self-declared greatness, saying, "Kendrick, nothing, nobody could beat me at nothing." Humility is not exactly the vibe in Ye's world.

And just when you thought he was through, Kanye popped into a Drink Champs thread on the greatest rapper bar-for-bar debate. Just as someone dropped Eminem's name, followed by Kendrick's and J. Cole's, Kanye suddenly inserted another hot take: "J. Cole and KENDRICK CAN'T TOUCH THE WHITE BOY.

Love him, hate him, or just plain baffled by him; no matter where you fall on the Ye spectrum, you can always count on being surprised by him. Whether the Devil is attempting to derail Drake's Spotify domination, you might be able to argue that Kanye West is still penning headlines like none other. By now, the sensation of tuning into Kanye online is similar to watching a reality show you never knew you wanted: unvarnished, untamed, and much more impossible to turn off.
