Overview

• A newly circulating clip from the 2021 Donda sessions shows Ye telling Playboi Carti he pulled a Pusha T verse from “Off The Grid.”
• In the footage, Ye says he would rather hear violent or sexual brags than “Black Lives Matter” lyrics on his music, calling the movement “worse than the devil” and “mind control.”
• Carti reacts to the scrapped verse by calling it “hard” and asks why it was cut, prompting Ye’s explanation captured in the clip.
• The video spread across social media over the Sept. 20–21 weekend as other behind-the-scenes material from the Donda era gains attention through the new documentary In Whose Name?.
• Coverage notes the clip’s relevance to rifts that later emerged between Ye and collaborators like Pusha T and Playboi Carti, with no new rebuttals from the parties reported.
