Ye and Lil Boosie Beef Blows Up
From Sympathy to Smoke: Boosie and Ye Trade Wild Shots on Livestream and X
Hip-hop just added another unexpected feud to the books. What started as a moment of concern from Boosie BadAzz quickly flipped into a public war of words with Ye (formerly Kanye West)…and things escalated fast.

Ye Blasts Boosie on Livestream in Spain
During a livestream on April 24 with producer Digital Nas, Ye shocked viewers with both personal admissions and insults. While discussing the raw content of his new track “Cousins”…where he details a disturbing childhood experience…Ye took aim at Boosie, who had publicly commented on the controversial release.
“Lil Boosie stink,” Ye said. “I know that nia smell poor and I never met him. That nia smell poor. That ni**a is poor.”
He continued with a string of layered insults, accusing Boosie of being both irrelevant and foul-smelling, and suggesting the rapper was being used as a tool for controversy.
Boosie Responds With Hot Pocket Heat
Boosie didn’t hold back. First responding lightly on X (formerly Twitter) with a “Ye u better chill lol,” the Baton Rouge rapper quickly followed up with a full-blown verbal takedown.
“I SMELL LOL NEVER. YOUR MOUTH SMELLS LIKE A HAM N CHEESE HOT POCKET WHEN IT COME OUT THE MICROWAVE,” Boosie fired.
In a now-viral tweet, Boosie criticized Ye for his influence on his children, even referencing the implications of Ye’s lyrics as harmful messaging to his son.
“YOU JUST MOTIVATED YOUR SON TO PUT A DK IN HIS MOUTH… THE PROFESSIONAL DK SUCKER.”
Boosie’s Initial Reaction Was Sympathy—But That Changed Quickly
When Ye first released “Cousins” on April 21, Boosie appeared to express concern over the emotional trauma behind the confession.
“DAM KANYE. I FEEL BAD FOR THIS DUDE… I HATE HIM HAVING TO GO THROUGH THIS AS A CHILD,” Boosie tweeted.
But any chance of support quickly collapsed once Ye came for him directly during the livestream. The beef quickly turned from empathy to explosive animosity, drawing fans and critics alike into the chaos.
Hip-Hop Reacts: Entertainment or Over the Line?
While some fans are laughing at the meme-worthy quotes, others are calling for a pause. Critics point out the dangerous territory of involving personal trauma and children in online beefs. Still, the internet continues to dissect every post, clip, and subtweet from both artists.
Where Does This Go Next?
Neither Ye nor Boosie has shown signs of backing down. With Ye still pushing raw, unfiltered music and Boosie firing back in real-time, this beef could either blow over fast…or spark more diss tracks, reactions, and commentary.
One thing’s clear: hip-hop drama in 2025 is just getting started.
