In response, Cube said, “You know when somebody turn it out. When a ni**a turned the party out. And say that he did it coz of you. You got to say something about that, you know what I’m saying. It’s like homie, nah, nah. You got to stand on this on your own. That’s you bro.”

Moreover, Cube also had a few choice words for Ye. He said, “I didn’t say nothing. It’s just that at the end of the day, I just had to let everybody know. That you know, don’t blame me. Talk your sh*t if you want to. But don’t blame me for sh*t. “

Notably, Ye had recently mentioned that Cube had been an inspiration for his controversial remarks.

While Ye might have found himself in soup for his unhinged statements, including claims of him being a ‘god’. It seems like ‘Iron’ Mike understood where he was coming from. In fact, in an older episode of his podcast, Tyson delved into Ye’s claims.

Tyson mentioned that while Ye’s talks were corny and might sound insane. These were the qualities of a leader. Tyson also mentioned that Ye is delusional and has ‘mental issues’. But most leaders have similar issues.
