Kanye West, a maestro in courting controversy much like a moth to a flame, found himself in the midst of an anti-Semitic storm. It was a tempest that echoed through the realms of both his music and personal life. The aftermath of this tumultuous episode saw Ye, facing repercussions, retreat into a self-imposed hibernation. The hiatus, however, concluded with a triumphant return, prompting enthusiasts to declare that Ye is undeniably “so back.” 

While others, including Kim Kardashian, offered their takes on the controversial saga, Lil Dicky approached it with a unique lens. He provided an alternative perspective that added a splash of individuality to the narrative.

In the age-old debate of who reigns supreme as the better artist, Lil Dicky navigated the question with a diplomatic finesse that bordered on the sublime. Recounting an unimaginable encounter in a studio with Ye, where he was showcasing ‘Freaky Friday,’ Drake made a surprise appearance.
