Ye Says He 'Don't Like' Kendrick Lamar's Music, Gets Reaction From TDE's Punch
It looks like Ye has had a change of mind when it comes to Kendrick Lamar, recently claiming that he doesn't like the Grammy-winner's music and that he should've been left off of Playboi Carti's new album, I Am Music.
Ye shared his feelings after giving the album a spin Friday (March 14) morning, apparently taking notice of K. Dot locking down not one, but three features on the highly-anticipated work. The Compton rapper can be found on 'GOOD CREDIT,' 'MOJO JOJO' and 'BACKD00R.'
'I DONT LIKE KENDRICK LAMARS MUSIC HE RAPS VERY GOOD BUT I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM,' Ye posted to his X page.
The revelation was a surprising one for some Hip-Hop fans, as Ye and Lamar previously collaborated on The Life of Pablo track, 'No More Parties In L.A.' Ye later revealed that he and Lamar have over 40 unreleased songs together from his TLOP recording sessions.
The Chicago artist also felt the need to jump on the remix to Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick's hit, 'Like That,' declaring that he had the wordsmith's back, saying, 'Dot, I got you,' before getting his verse off.
Ye's post spawned a reaction from Lamar's former label head, TDE's Terrence 'Punch' Henderson, who posted to his X account, 'Aye… What's up with this Kanye West ni**a??'
The Breakfast Club host Charlamagne Tha God previously asserted that West is jealous of Lamar's current success, and attempted to steal his shine through a string of antics the week leading up to Dot's Super Bowl Halftime Show. Ye also dropped a song the day of the Super Bowl, further fueling assumptions of envy. His latest post will, no doubt, contribute to this narrative.
Ye also had a change of mind when it comes to former adversary Drake, recently saying he 'loves' the hit-maker and wants the part-time crooner to speak at his funeral.

Panthers Wide Receiver Xavier Legette Stuns in Acting Debut
Panthers Wide Receiver Xavier Legette Stuns in Acting Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Most second-year wide receivers focus on route trees, film study, and perfecting their release. But Xavier Legette? He just added 'music video heartthrob' to his growing résumé. The 24-year-old Carolina Panthers wideout has stepped into a spotlight few NFL players ever do, starring as the romantic lead in GloRilla's sizzling new music video, Typa, which dropped recently and already has fans talking. And no, this isn't a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo. Legette takes center stage in a series of steamy scenes that have sparked headlines, social media speculation, and a surprising new level of celebrity. At one point in the video, the shirtless 6'1', 221-pound receiver shares an intimate moment with the Grammy-nominated rapper, whose song samples Keyshia Cole's hit Love. Their chemistry is undeniable, and it didn't take long for rumors to swirl online. The former South Carolina Gamecock made waves in 2024 with 497 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns as a rookie. But now, he's building a personal brand that goes beyond the gridiron. It's a savvy move in today's NFL, where players who build their off-field image can increase endorsement value and fan reach. Think Travis Kelce, but with a Southern drawl and a taste for raccoon (yes, really! Look it up). Whether this is a one-time gig or the beginning of something bigger, one thing's clear: Xavier Legette isn't afraid to color outside the lines. Carolina, meet your new WR1 of personality. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

Rams, Sean McVay Drop Clever Reaction to Surprise Reference by Lil' Wayne
Rams, Sean McVay Drop Clever Reaction to Surprise Reference by Lil' Wayne originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sean McVay found his way into "Tha Carter VI" courtesy of Lil' Wayne. The Grammy winning rapper dropped his much-anticipated newest album Friday. It's the sixth installment of his "Tha Carter" album series that's won over his fans over the years. Now he's grabbed the attention of the Los Angeles Rams. Wayne references the Super Bowl winning head coach on the track "Welcome to Tha Carter," which is the second track off the 19-song album. The song starts with a church choir theme intro, but then blends in drums and Wayne's signature rapping voice. It goes from Gospel theme to one filled with sports references -- including this lyric that brings up McVay: "Smokin that bomb LA like I'm McVay/Bombs away, I'm just tryna concentrate," Wayne raps. Well, turns out the Rams heard that bar loud and clear. They posted this clever reaction featuring their beloved head coach. The Super Bowl LVI winner isn't the only L.A. reference on the track. Former Los Angeles Lakers champion and NBA All-Star Metta World Peace is mentioned by Wayne on the song too. McVay himself hasn't personally reacted to the song. But it's not the first time the Rams have reacted to any major Hip-Hop news. Rams mascot Rampage posted a picture mimicking Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" album cover -- which showed the mascot in front of the Buick vehicle just like the Compton native. Lamar released that album in 2024 and since has gone on tour -- including performing two shows at the Rams' home of SoFi Stadium. The Rams also used the late Nipsey Hussle's hit track "Grindin' All My Life" as part of their 2024 schedule release. Now the New Orleans native Wayne showed love to McVay and story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
