Rich The Kid has teased a new collaboration with Ye, set to release soon. Over the weekend, the BOSS MAN artist shared a snippet of a remix of his song “Gimme a Second”, featuring the Chicago native Ye. The preview has already sparked significant controversy due to its provocative lyrics.
In the snippet, Ye raps, “I need to see if the sex good, I’m a sexist/ Sendin’ psy shots, girl, you know I need the breasts/ Since you pay for dinner, that’s that, ‘Ate me up for breakfast’/ And she paid for dinner, I’ma still need the dessert.” He continues, “My dk hard, this b**ch hotter than a desert/ My oldest said, ‘Daddy not going to Heaven’/ Treat me like a deadbeat, said I wasn’t present/ They was tryna treat a king like a peasant.”
The explicit content has led to a polarized response from fans. Some appreciate Ye’s audacity and creativity, while others criticize the lyrics for their controversial nature. Social media is abuzz with reactions, ranging from disappointment to support. One Twitter user pleaded, “Kanye, [please] return to God,” expressing dismay at the lyrical direction. Another user lamented, “This ain’t the Ye we grew up with,” indicating a longing for Ye’s earlier, more reflective music. A different comment noted, “Yeah, YZY Porn is happening still,” referencing Ye’s past involvement with the adult entertainment industry. However, not all feedback was negative; some fans defended the track, saying, “Ye sounds good, and I like the beat,” indicating appreciation for the musical composition and production.
Rich The Kid is set to release his album Life’s a Gamble on June 28, with executive production by Ye and Ty Dolla Sign.
