Kanye West has been the subject of debates over social media over the years. When the rapper dabbles in a controversy, it becomes a headline next morning. But in March this year, his eldest daughter North West took his place when she dropped a video of herself cosplaying Ice Spice. This happened after her mother Kim Kardashain invited the rapper to her home and the kid thought it would be fun to dress up like her. However, the clip instantly garnered backlash and people started arguing that “North has gone too far.”

The socialite took down the video from their joint TikTok account and many thought Ye had a hand in it. It is unclear whether or not the claims were true, but that did not stop the ‘Munch’ rapper from calling the former billionaire the GOAT of Hip-Hop.
