Kanye West-Jay-Z Rift Deepens Over 'Jail' Lyric

Kanye West, also known as Ye, has revealed that a dispute over a lyric in their 2021 collaboration 'Jail,' in which Jay-Z referenced West's support for Donald Trump, significantly contributed to their estrangement. West stated that Jay-Z insisted on retaining the line about the 'red cap' or removing his verse, which West found deeply hurtful. The pair have not worked together since the release. Recently, Ye has posted offensive remarks about Jay-Z and Beyoncé's family, prompting Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, to publicly defend her family. West has also claimed he cannot see his children with Kim Kardashian, but sources close to Kardashian and media outlets like TMZ have disputed this, saying he has access. These incidents highlight ongoing personal and professional tensions for West, fueled by his political views and social media activity.
