with all due respect, i don't need to use anyone to promote anything. period. i was making a comment ab what men were doing at the time vs. women. it was a joke which i understand now was probably insensitive. i apologize if i was in any way triggering and hope u feel well today.

Kanye West is not happy with Drake as we all know now but he has also not taken Ariana’s act of promoting music by referencing his series of tweets to promote her music, lightly.

“Guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight,” the multi platinum singer tweeted on Thursday, December 13, talking about her new single ‘Imagine‘ and Cyrus’ collaboration with Mark Ronson and Sean Ono Lennon on a new version of ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over).’

guys, i know there are grown men arguing online rn but miley and i dropping our beautiful, new songs tonight so if y'all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that'd be so sick thank u

Ariana had not mentioned Kanye or Drake’s names in the tweet but since the whole timeline was talking about them, it was clear who Ariana was referencing. “If y’all could please jus behave for just like a few hours so the girls can shine that’d be so sick thank u,” she added.

Kanye called out Ariana early on Saturday morning for using his twitter rant against Drake as a promo tool. “I know Ariana said this to be cool and didn’t mean no harm but I don’t like even slightest level of slight commentary from someone I know loves and respects me,” Kanye said.

“People will no longer take mental health for a joke. Drake verbally attacked Cudi when he was in the hospital and went at me after TMZ because I decided to release albums in June Is snowballed and he refused to meet with me but texted my mother in law and did sneak disses on peoples records that I consider family,” he continued to go after Drake before turning the convo back to Ariana again. “All of this foolishness weighed on my mental health so @ArianaGrande you know I got love for you but until you’re ready to really make sure everyone’s ok don’t use me or this moment to promote a song,” he said.

After calling her out, Kanye continued to tweet about Drake and Travis Scott.

No one would ever choose to end up in a mental hospital and diagnosed with a mental disorder but god chose me to publicly go through this journey and it is beautiful

I am able to experience first hand how people who have mental health issues get written off by society. Don’t listen to him cause he’s crazy. He’s washed cause he’s crazy etc…

I don’t blame people for not knowing how to handle this that said we as a society will learn together

It reminds me of when I said stop hip hop homophobia It used to be ok for rappers to bash gay people just listen to certain rap records from the 90s and early 2000s
