Gone are the days when Kanye West was a fun-loving backpack rapper everyone in the mainstream embraced. He has evolved into one of the most polarizing and thought-provoking figures on the planet, whether he's loved or hated. His willingness to share unpopular beliefs from time to time has garnered rivals in the media in a manner similar to Kyrie Irving in the NBA. Not only did Kanye's recent comments about a specific ethnic community land him in hot water with several media outlets, but they also magnified the actions of any other celebrity who has ventured into the topic or somewhere near it over the years.
Kyrie Irving recently got into a heated exchange with Nick Friedell of ESPN over a tweet that has been condemned by people from all walks of life, from former Laker great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai. With Kanye and Kyrie's long-standing feuds with some media members going strong, a Twitter user nicknamed 'the anonymous nobody' recently posted a message indicating that the two men have similar views to a celebrity who is typically viewed by the mainstream in a positive light, Kendrick Lamar.
"If n*ggas think Kanye and Kyrie are bad, they need to be glad Kendrick doesn’t talk because he said all this two albums ago," the tweet read.
