Kendrick Lamar decided to take a diss on Drake and J. Cole on his latest track, ‘Like That’. However, speculations also flew in that the same may have contained a sly dig at Ye. Now, hours after responding to the same, the ‘Jesus Is King’ singer appears to have forgotten it all as he took to his Instagram stories to share a text conversation with Traquan Ragsdale, also known as Tra Rags.
The screenshot from Ye’s side had him send “I love your work” to the short-form content creator who has a large following on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Whether the rapper has some plans of collaboration or simply shared the same as a sign of going about his ways, as usual, remains up for debate. With over 1.5 million followers on TikTok, Tra Rags also has a few listings on Apple Music, although as a feature and without clear signs as to pointing to the same creator.
In the meantime, the stage of rap music has yet to recover or even properly process the sequence of events, which also found Ye feuding with another rapper.
