In a post shared on his Instagram Story, Meek Mill has given his thoughts on the artist formerly known as Kanye West amid his “White Lives Matter” t-shirt controversy.

“I used to listen to ye every night and jail for motivation on god!” Meek wrote. “And came home and watched him shit on my name and brand like nothing …. I ain’t say nothing … but I been knew you was on that nerd tryna shit on street n***as you just said it to boosie. It hurts my heart to even know some of y’all this crazy and lame … ion need no verses from no n***as because I been hot since 13 @justinlaboy don’t invite me to none of them weird ass parties wit bro.”

In the post, which was accompanied by a clip of Ye criticizing the lyrical content of popular hip-hop songs, Meek suggested that the 45-year-old multi-hyphenate has internalized racism.

“What you be doing for fame driving you crazy… look how hard you came at me n***as know I’m vocal it’s like you hate your own people,” he continued. “You ain’t even post @vory album after all that work he did for you and he look up to you … you made sure you said Jack Harlow was the hottest in Kentucky overlooked est and vory.”

Ye, who has only doubled down on his “White Lives Matter” stance in a bizarre interview with Tucker Carlson, hasn’t responded to Meek’s comments yet. However, almost every celebrity who has been critical of him has received an intense post on Instagram calling them out. Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Diddy, and Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory have all faced Ye’s wrath over the past week.
