CyHi the Prynce recently took fans by surprise with the release of his track "Elephant in the Room," which was seemingly a diss aimed at Kanye West. After much speculation, the Georgia rapper took to social media to clarify the presumed diss track, saying everything is good.
Although Prynce's latest release sounds like something Lil Wayne would have released during his rift with Cash Money, he insisted via Twitter that everything is all good between him and Yeezy, who apparently came up with the track's concept. In a series of tweets, he also notes that Pusha T has been one of his biggest supporters on G.O.O.D.

On the "Elephant in the Room," Prynce airs out his frustrations with his treatment on the label and singles out West, in particular. One highlight of the song is when he threatens to put a halt to the release of Yeezy's new music. "Ain't gonna be no new Yeezy album 'cause he in the trunk with his mouth taped and his wrist wrapped," he raps.
He also gave a nod to his apparent influence Eminem, who rapped similar lyrics about Dr. Dre on "The Real Slim Shady." "And Dr. Dre said - nothin', you idiots/ Dr. Dre's dead, he's locked in my basement," Em spit.
When @Eminem does is to @drdre they win Grammys!!! But when..... Y'all get the drift — CYHI THE PRYNCE (@CyhiThePrynce) August 8, 2015
While Prynce had everyone's attention, he took the opportunity to announce his long-awaited album, L.I.O.N. (Like It Or Not). He released a video for the album's title track as well.
Prynce gained mainstream recognition when he was featured on a track titled "So Appalled" from West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. More recently, he has also contributed to Yeezy's Grammy-nominated song "Bound 2."
"Elephant in the Room" has seemingly vanished from the Internet but there is a possibility Prynce's album will arrive in the near future.
