On Friday, Kanye West escalated his feud with Drake with a slew of tweets about him and their beef.
This all happened the same night that Ariana Grande was dropping her new single, "imagine," so she tweeted this:
Kanye got wind of Ariana's message and tweeted this, saying, "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."
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
He then followed up with these tweets:
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
In one of the many follow-up tweets, he said, "@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."
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
On Saturday morning, Ariana responded, saying she doesn't "need to use anyone to promote anything" and also apologized if her joke was insensitive.
@kanyewest 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.
She also replied to a fan who told her to retract her apology, saying she cares about Kanye's mental health:
@leighsgucci @kanyewest for potentially triggering him? nah regardless of how i feel about a situation, i can also care about their mental health.
