Kanye West Unfollows Nicki Minaj On Instagram Days After She Called Him A ‘Clown’

Kanye West has unfollowed Nicki Minaj on Instagram after she dissed him during her performance at the Essence Festival.

During her set, “Monster” began to play and Nicki stopped the track, telling the crowd, “I’m ‘Monster’-ed out, and we don’t f-ck with clowns.”

Her diss came the same day Cardi B released a track with a Kanye feature. In February, Nicki Minaj spoke about why their “Yandhi” track was never released. The song was supposed to be on Ye’s Jesus Is King album.

“Let me tell you something about that…I respect everybody and where they are in life, where they are spiritually,” she said at the time.

“The public adored ‘New Body.’ Like, ‘New Body’ is the biggest hit record that never came out. So what I thought was interesting was that Kanye made me write my ‘New Body’ verse four times over in order to fit into where he was creatively and spiritually in his life, right, only to then go on the internet a few months later to see him on Drink Champs.”

Kanye West is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential hip hop musicians of all time, as well as one of the greatest musicians of his generation.

Born in Atlanta and raised in Chicago, West gained recognition as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records in the early 2000s, producing singles for several artists and developing the “chipmunk soul” sampling style.

Intent on pursuing a solo career as a rapper, he released his debut studio album, The College Dropout (2004), to critical and commercial success. West subsequently founded his record label GOOD Music later that same year.
