While the current Kanye West drama is about how he wants to stay married to Kim Kardashian and bring his goons to SNL to beat up (or kill) Pete Davidson, people should remember that Kanye’s always had beefs. Before Kim and Pete, Kanye was beefing with… Drake, Taylor Swift, George W. Bush (“George Bush doesn’t care about Black people”) and a lot more. Even in the midst of Kanye’s beef with Kim and Pete, he’s managed to drag Kid Cudi and Billie Eilish. In case anyone was wondering just how many beefs Kanye’s had over the years, he posted this list (which was created by Hip Hop by the Numbers):
Okay, I remember most of these, but Denis Haysbert? And Harriet Tubman would like to be excluded from this narrative. Legit forgot how much he hates Jimmy Kimmel, no disrespect to Ben Affleck. As you can see, Kanye captioned this IG with the comment that his actual beef list is a lot longer, and it includes people like Barack Obama (who called him a jackass), Hillary Clinton (sigh) and of course, Black History Month.
The name on this list that had people laughing their asses off was Peppa Pig. That beef is more recent and it involves Pitchfork, which obviously does music reviews. From September 2020:
In a tweet — which has since been deleted, to be clear — the show’s official Twitter account trolled the hip-hop artist because his latest record, “Donda,” landed a 6.0 rating on the music publication Pitchfork. “Peppa’s Adventures: The Album,” in contrast, earned a respectable 6.5 score.
“Peppa didn’t need to host listening parties in Mercedes-Benz Stadium to get that .5,” the tweet said, referring to West’s listening event at the the football stadium in Atlanta in July. He then lived inside the stadium while he worked to complete “Donda,” his 10th studio album.
The text was accompanied by a pair of emojis — a dropped microphone and a pig snout — as well as side-by-side pictures of the Pitchfork reviews, according to people who shared screenshots of the tweet before it was deleted.
LMAO. I mean, some of this sh-t it legitimately funny. That being said, some of it is legitimately terrifying too. If you have this kind of extensive beef list of most of the music industry, all of SNL, Jeff Bezos, Barack Obama, Apple and everyone else… I don’t know, maybe the problem is YOU? Like, I have a beef list but it’s only a few names. LAURA DERN.

Gee, seems like Kanye might have trouble playing well with others
Yep! “If you meet 3 a$$holes in a day, you’re probably the a$$hole”
Who tf has a beef with Beck?
WTF has a beef with Harriet Tubman?!
I do. He’s such a loser, baby.
lol @commentingbunny
He got mad at Beck for the same reason he got mad a Taylor – Beck beat Beyonce at the Grammy’s.
Co$ since he disavowed being a member.
#TeamHarrietTubmanandPeppaPig is not something I ever thought I would have the opportunity to write.
I need to lie down.
Oh, Mia4s, you cracked me up with that!! Thank you for the morning laughs!!
Evil Knievel?
He seems to be in a bad state and should get proper help from doctors and therapists for this manic phase. It doesn’t excuse his behavior though, but gives part of an explanation.
Laura Dern? Now I’m curious.
I was saying this over the weekend – he has too much “beef”, it’s his thing. He scans the figurative room looking for his next noun to get mad at, enough already. What’s next, he’s mad at Velcro, ottomans that aren’t round, AAA batteries? This most definitely speaks more about Kanye than it does about the nouns he’s beefing with. It gets harder and harder to take him any more seriously than the tea cup ride at Disney Land.
PS – His refusal to move forward in all ways including but not limited to his divorce will stagnate him creatively, his music is already suffering.
“Velcro, ottomans that aren’t round, and AAA batteries” had me howl so loud that I finally commented after reading this site for years. Spot on!
this comment is hilarious
But women are drama queens! 🙄🙄
I recently watched Jurassic Park. I know. I was lazing out on my couch and it was on HBO. Anyway, I know Laura Dern is supposed to be the actor’s actor but dude, she was laughably bad in Jurassic. It’s a film with fake dinosaurs so most bad acting would be disguised by suspension of disbelief. But nope her bad acting was front and center. I’ve never understood her success.
She was great in Enlightened.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Peppa Pig too?
What kind of MONSTER hates Harriet Tubman? And where are my updated $20 bills?
I like to think that Kanye is one person Harriet Tubman would have left behind. Didn’t he say slavery was a choice?
Laura Dern is a damn good actor. Watch her in Mike White’s hilarious series Enlightened. Unbelievably good.
I see Kanye finally gave up control of his social media…wonder how long it will last
