As per Billboard, in the tweet, he claimed that his 2021 song Jail sparked tensions between him and Carter. For the unversed, Jail was one of the tracks included in Kanye West's tenth studio album Donda. In the tweet, Ye wrote:

"Why did Jay Z have to say 'no red hat' on Jail? That s*** tore me to my soul. We fought about it, and he told me to either leave that line on there or take my verse off. Me wearing the red hat was the most stand out example of me going against 'the program.'"

According to Ye, Carter asked him to remove the mention of the red Make America Great Again hat, which implied his support for Donald Trump. Carter apparently gave another choice to Ye in case he did not wanna remove the MAGA hat reference, and that was to remove Carter's verse from the track.


Kanye West recently shared a tweet in which he hinted at an incestuous relationship with a cousin. In the post, he further implied that the cousin was in prison for killing a pregnant lady. Along with the tweet, he shared a clip of a track titled Cousins.
