Kanye West‘s latest online tirade and public stunts are the result of him being “envious” of Kendrick Lamar‘s current success.Over the past week, Kanye West (who now goes by Ye) has been surrounded with infamy.

He was first criticised for having his wife Bianca Censori wear a see-through dress while on this year’s Grammy Awards red carpet so he could promote his upcoming Yeezy collection.Then, last Friday (February 7), Ye shared a slew of offensive and anti-Semitic tweets where he called himself a “Nazi” and retracted his apology to the Jewish community, and showed support for Diddy and Chris Brown despite their respective sexual assault and domestic abuse charges.

Ye received immense backlash and subsequently deactivated his X/Twitter account yesterday (February 9). In the time since, his Yeezy site started selling a swastika t-shirt before being shut down by operators Shopify.While on The Breakfast Club radio show, Charlamagne theorised that “Kanye has been acting out all week because he’s envious of Kendrick’s moment”.

When fellow co-host Jess Hilarious brought up that Ye said he had been diagnosed with autism, Charlamagne called it another cry for attention.“That’s just attention seeking, he’s doing that because he’s envious of Kendrick’s moment,” he continued. “He wishes this was him because Kendrick is having a moment for being a prolific artist who took out his number one opp; Drake.
