Kanye West's admission about missing the Watch The Throne era comes after he's been posting several bizarre messages about his relationship with Jay-Z on social media. The drama began with him questioning the mental capacity of his and Beyonce's children.
He eventually apologized for doing so, but continued to take issue with the couple. “I’m sorry Jay Z,” he wrote in one post. “I be feeling bad about my tweet but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family but when I needed family on some real sh*t none of these rap n****s had my back.”
Young Thug dropped "Money on Money" on Friday as the first single from his upcoming album, UY Scuti. Thug will be releasing the project on May 9, 2025 as his first full-length effort since taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO trial, last year.
