‘We were saying prayers on the phone together’: Kanye West Has A Meltdown Goes Off On Jay Z, Drake & Travis Scott Kicks Everyone Out Album Party
Kanye West has addressed JAY-Z, Drake, Tory Lanez, Travis Scott and plenty more during an explosive rant at a Vultures studio session turned afterparty.
West, Ty Dolla $ign and co. were forced to pivot after their Las Vegas rave was allegedly shut down by police early Friday (December 15). They appeared to head to someone’s living room with a large group of people to record and keep the party going.
With emotions riding high, Kanye took centerstage and went on a rant, or as he calls it a stream of consciousness, which was captured on IG Live by YesJulz.
In the clip, Ye is heard jumping around through a multitude of topics ranging from Michael Rubin to his rap peers.
“I don’t want to hear shit from none of these Jewish n-ggas talking about, ‘Oh, he’s in an episode.’ Harley Pasternak followed me to the fucking hotel. That n-gga killed Aaron Carter, and now they acting like they won’t clear the Backstreet Boys sample,” he said as the likes of YG and Quavo watched on.
“Harley Pasternak, Pusha, your trainer. Harley Pasternak, JAY-Z. And then n-ggas be hanging around these n-ggas just for the money, on some Mike Rubin shit. I’ll slap the shit out of Mike Rubin, I see that n-gga. Fuck these n-ggas, bro.”

Pasternak is Ye’s former trainer who pulled up to the same hotel at which he was reportedly staying in Soudi Arabia last month.
There’s plenty of history there as West was hospitalized following an alleged mental health episode at Pasternak’s house in 2016. The hospitalization led to West being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which he has since claimed was a misdiagnosis.
“These are zionists, n-gga, this is what I’m trying to tell you,” he proclaimed. “Jesus Christ, Hitler, Ye. Third party, sponsor that. Bring your sponsorships to that.”
Ye continued to address Drake and Travis Scott: “Drake, I love you, I’m gonna get the tattoo. But any of y’all n-ggas — Trav, Drake, whoever — y’all gotta show up. Don’t tell me I’m talking crazy. Me, Pharrell, we broke down this door. We all in this shit together.”
“A lot of people have shit to say about my Jewish comments. But ain’t nobody in this fucking room, and none of y’all entertainer n-ggas, ever said nothing when I was praying to see my kids.
Ye went on to reveal that he actually spoke to Tory Lanez and they prayed together on the phone, thought it’s unclear if this was pre-sentencing in his Megan Thee Stallion shooting case.
“One of the last days…uh, what’s my n-gga who got locked up for the Megan Thee Stallion shit? So Tory Lanez called me,” he recalled. “We were saying prayers on the phone together. And I prayed that day.
“I know JAY-Z here like, ‘Oh, this n-gga gonna die now.’ I’ve been here for a year, my n-gga. They can’t fucking touch me. Why? ‘Cause God cover me. He cover me. And guess what, Trump? We ain’t giving you support ‘less you get Larry [Hoover] out. Drake this what you been waiting for, JAY-Z this what you been waiting for, Cam this what you been waiting for.”
Ye also maligned director Coodie Simmons for how he portrayed him in the third episode of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary.
“They made me the face of bi-polar. Okay, big pharma, where my royalties? All them drugs you sold off of the idea of Ye being bi-polar,” he said.
On the music side, Kanye previewed plenty of new tunes on the way as West and Ty Dolla $ign appear to be close to delivering Vultures. Although they are still actively recording and mixing tracks. It’s unclear when Vultures will hit streaming services as Ye previously promised it to arrive on Friday.
Travis Scott and Meek Mill Get Into Argument at Hamptons Party – Report
Looks like while a number of rappers and A-list celebs attended Philadelphia 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin’s all-white party in the Hamptons, N.Y. over the Fourth of July weekend, so did Meek Mill and Travis Scott, and things reportedly became tense between the two artists.
According to a report from Page Six on Wednesday (July 7), Meek and La Flame got into a verbal dispute on Sunday (July 4) at the event thrown by Rubin, a close friend of Meek’s. The former XXL Freshmen were supposedly pulled away from one another before the situation escalated and turned physical.
The outlet additionally claims that Meek Milly was particularly irate and could be heard yelling at the Houston native, even after Travis had walked away from the scene.
The origin of the feud isn’t confirmed at the moment, but there is reportedly video footage of the verbal exchange. This footage doesn’t seem to have made its way on the internet as of reporting time.
The incident supposedly happened around 1 a.m. and resulted in the party coming to an end.
Not only were Meek and Travis Scott in attendance, but Jay-Z, Quavo, Lil Baby, who performed, the City Girls and many more attended Mike Rubin’s event as well.
Meek and the Cactus Jack Records founder haven’t feuded in the past. However, the Philly rhymer has been at odds with other rap peers over the years including 6ix9ine and Drake. Meek and Drizzy Drake, however, mended fences in 2018, after exchanging ominous diss records years prior.
XXL has reached out to reps for Meek Mill and Travis Scott for a comment on this matter.
See Wild Rap Beefs That’ll Probably Never Be Resolved

Pusha T and Drake
The issues between Drake and Pusha T go pretty far back. The beef started with the issues between the Clipse—Pusha and his brother No Malice—and Lil Wayne, which reportedly has roots on the collab track “What Happen to That Boy.” Drake’s affiliation with Wayne made him a target. In 2011, the beef between Drake and Pusha began to grow legs. Pusha dropped the song “Don’t F**k With Me,” which sampled Drake’s “Dreams Money Can Buy,” on which Drake allegedly disses Pusha subliminally. Then Push released “Exodus 23:1” in 2012.
Pusha T fired shots at Lil Wayne on “Your Favorite Rapper” and Drake responded by threatening violence on “Tuscan Leather” on his 2013 album, Nothing Was the Same. In 2016, Drake took aim at Pusha’s drug-dealing past on “Two Birds, One Stone.” Then, Pusha T dropped “Infrared,” which appears on his 2018 album Daytona, reheating the beef between himself and Drizzy. Push called out Drake for using ghostwriters. Drake then dropped “Duppy Freestyle” in retaliation, which fired shots at both Pusha T and Kanye West. Push then released “The Story of Adidon.” The single’s artwork depicts Drake in blackface from an old photo shoot. The song gained a lot of attention and resulted in plenty reactions, especially from hip-hop. One of the most gasping bars was when Pusha revealed that Drake fathered a secret son.
Drake later confirmed he has a son on songs “Emotionless” and “March 14” on his 2018 Scorpion album. Drizzy shares a son named Adonis with former adult film star Sophie Brussaux. In 2019, Drake said he had no desire to patch things up with Pusha. Last year, the Virginia lyricist appeared to diss Aubrey on a leaked Pop Smoke song and Drake also dropped some subliminal bars on Headie’s “Only You Freestyle.” This beef has never officially been put to bed. Most recently, Drake sent shots at Push on the 2023 Travis Scott track “Meltdown.”
