Joyner Lucas is coming to Ye’s defense.
After paying tribute to Will Smith on his 2020 single “Will,†the rapper is showing his support for another hip-hop icon, Kanye West, with his latest single “Ye Not Crazy.â€
In the video, Joyner recreates Ye’s famous masked looks from his DONDA concerts. He raps on top of a Sherp ATV, another Ye signature, in one scene and even morphs his and Ye’s faces together.
“How do you spell crazy? G-E-N-I-U-S,†he raps. “What you know about mental health when you live in hell and you out of meds? / What the f**k is a meltdown when my meltdown is on a private jet?â€
The self-proclaimed underdog shares how Ye inspired his hustle. “Labels ain’t wanna sign a check / Then I got on my Ye shit, turned every no to a solid yes,†he adds before name-checking Ye on the hook.
“Hold up, Ye’s not crazy … Even if they try to cancel me, that ain’t gon’ faze me.â€
Joyner, whose last project Evolution dropped in October 2020, recently made headlines when he went off on Lollapalooza and Machine Gun Kelly, who he called a “goofy ass ni**a.†He later apologized for his rant.
