Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa exchanged a few words not too long ago when ‘Ye announced his forthcoming album would no longer be named SWISH but Waves. Khalifa took to Twitter to call out West for the name change, which then began one of the most eyebrow raising Twitter celebrity feuds the Internet has seen, with many believing Mr. West struck below the belt bringing Khalifa’s son, Sebastian into the fold. Meriting the ire and disgust of the world wide web, Yeezy later somewhat apologized.

Kanye, who has been oddly vocal on social media as of late, then Tweeted in length his admiration for some of hip-hop’s most beloved artists and why his upcoming project is simply an homage to the inspiration they bestowed upon him.
