While everyone else is out streaming Kanye West's new album, The Life of Pablo, his former writing partner Rhymefest isn't falling for the shenigans. Yesterday, the co-writer of "Jesus Walks," "New Slaves" and many more tweeted that Kanye's "mind and spirit isn't right."
The tweet was a bit of a surprise since Rhymefest and Kanye have had a tight-knit relationship for quite some time now. It started out with some fans asking why Rhymefest wasn't on some of Kanye's recent work and it led into this:
@JakeChatty my brother needs help, in the form of counseling. Spiritual & mental. He should step away from the public & yesmen & heal

When another fan begged for Rhymefest to get back into the studio with Kanye, he quickly replied with a no:
@lord_cornwall nah his mind and spirit isn't right — Rhymefest (@RHYMEFEST) February 12, 2016
Of course, there were those that snapped off at Rhymefest for taking to Twitter to air out his feelings:
@freddief5 @Rayzure stooop, nobody airing nobody out. Until you walk our paths I ask that you reserve judgments

Though Kanye hasn't responded back we may not have to hold our breath too long since he has been ranting quite a lot lately, including on his songs, which may have caused Rhymefest to be concerned in the first place.
On the new album, Kanye not only dissed Taylor Swift but according to Elite Daily, he also called out his own wife Kim Kardashian and her ex, Ray J. Read the lyrics about Taylor Swift from the track "Famous" and Kim/Ray J from the track "High Lights" below:
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b***h famous."
"I bet me and Ray J would be friends / If we ain't love the same b***h / Yeah, he might have hit it first / Only problem is I'm rich."
Quite the class act, that Kanye West! But the lyrics definitely coincide with Rhymefest's tweets. According to Complex, the pieces haven't been quite put together yet though. We will definitely keep you posted as the story develops.
