Despite the delay, Playboi Carti's album, Music, is finally out and it features three collaborations with Kendrick Lamar, but Kanye West has some opinions about the Not Like Us rapper's heavy involvement in Carti's 30-track album.
On Friday morning, March 14, 2025, Kanye took to X to share how he doesn't like Kendrick's music. While he admitted that the fellow rapper is "very good" in terms of rapping, he asserted that he didn't need to hear him on Carti's new album.
"I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC. HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM."

Kanye West isn't featured on Playboi Carti's new album despite rumors
Ahead of its release, Playboi Carti's Music album has been the subject of several rumors, including that Kanye West would be working on it. The Atlanta rapper also hyped up the rumors in September 2024 by shouting out Ye on his Instagram story, per Billboard, saying that they have been working on the album.
However, when the album rolled out Kanye was not featured on any of the songs. Variety also cited a confirmation from Carti's representative saying that Kanye didn't produce or contribute to the song Good Credit, but it features a sped-up sample that sounds like Ye's 2004 The College Dropout.
Billboard, however, says that Kanye West produced the track Backdoor, which ironically features Kendrick Lamar. Originally thought to be titled I Am Music, the 30-track album also includes features from Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Future, Young Thug, Ty Dolla Sign, and more.
