As we previously reported, in a recent interview with Big Boy, Kanye West made a bold statement, declaring himself as the inventor of every music style of the past 20 years.
While sitting alongside Ty Dolla Sign, Ye confidently asserted, “I created Weeknd’s genre. Trav, Drake, everybody. I’mma go ahead and say with all love, Future and Thug also because the auto-tune album, 808s. Everybody thinks about Trav, Weeknd, and Drake but no one thinks about Future and Thug also. The auto-tune album. Now everyone, they added whatever it was to it. But here’s a new genre. It’s called making your own money genre. This music is called, like, take that middleman out.”
However, not everyone was on board with Kanye’s self-proclaimed title as the music industry’s innovator. Boosie Badazz, known for his candid opinions, took to Instagram to express his disagreement with Ye’s claims. The 41-year-old rapper stated, “NOT ALL GENRES NOT EVERY STYLE NOT BOOSIE MUSIC YOU CANT RELATE TO NOTHING I RAP ABOUT R YOUR MUSICNOBODY LISTENS TO KANYE N THE PROJECTS R THE TRENCHES IM,A GON HEAD N SAY IT ‘MY PEOPLE DO NOT RELATE TO YOU.'”
In response to Boosie’s criticism, Kanye West is now addressing the remarks directly.
In an IG story post, YE said, “I JUST SAW THAT WIPE ME DOWN WAS MADE IN 2007. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHATEVER THAT GENRE WOULD BE CALLED.”

Now, Boosie wasn’t the only industry artist that shared his feelings about Ye’s latest comments. Although Kid Cudi didn’t outwardly deny Ye’s musical contributions to the genre, he shared a screenshot of his own Wikipedia page that stated that his style was influential in creating 808s & Heartbreak.
Ye has not yet reacted to Cudi though they had been previously at odds.
