Charlamagne Tha God chimes in on his meeting with Kanye West.

Kanye West is bound to drop a new album at some point this year. He's yet to confirm a release date or even a title for it, but he's been spotted in the studio some of his most notable collaborators. Most recently, the rapper was seen leaving his studio with Charlamagne Tha God and confirmed that The Breakfast Club radio host "heard some shit." Charlamagne later spoke on their meeting and said that 'Ye also shared some thoughts on J. Cole and his upcoming album, K.O.D.

Charlamagne says that Kanye West feels like J. Cole is always dissing him. Cole and Kanye have an interesting relationship of sorts. 'Ye's most experimental project to date, Yeezus and Cole's Born Sinner dropped on the same day and many critics thought it was a bold move on Cole's part. However, Cole later went on to allegedly diss Kanye on his song "False Prophets."

"Yesterday, when I was talking to 'Ye, we were having a conversation about J. Cole. Remember J Cole put out the 'False Prophets' record? And he said that he feels like J. Cole's always dissing him in records." Charlamagne recalled.

Kanye then drew a comparison to Cole's bar on "No Role Modelz" when he raps "N*gga I don't want no bitch from reality shows/ Out of touch with reality hoes." 

Charlamagne recalled Kanye saying, "Who else out here in love with people from reality shows like me?"

Despite how it may sound, Charlamagne clarified that Kanye didn't say it with any malicious intentions and ended up laughing about it.
