Kanye West gave us a much-needed break from all of the Donald Trump headlines today when he went after rapper Wiz Khalifa on Twitter.
To quickly recap, West announced Tuesday night that he was planning to change the title of his upcoming album from “Swish” to “Waves,” and Wiz mocked it immediately.
Please don’t take the wave.

Wiz made it clear that Kanye’s decision to rename the album wasn’t cool because he felt it was hijacking a term popularized by Max B.
Just so you know what true waves are. https://t.co/Mot3ab1Kuu

In one tweet, he mentioned “kk,” which Kanye interpreted to be a reference to his wife, Kim Kardashian.
Hit this kk and become yourself.’
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Wiz has since clarified that he was referring to marijuana, which he has referred to as “KK” in a song.
KK is weed fool. Reason’s why your not wavy. Go bacc to Swish. https://t.co/7OT4xiQa5V

But for several hours, Kanye was on a Twitter rampage, and nothing was off limits.
3rd no one I know has ever listened to one of your albums all the way through

Nothing.
16th don’t even hint at mentioning me my family or my wife I am your OG

He threw a little self-aggrandizement into the mix.
maybe I couldn’t be skinny and tall but I’ll settle for being the greatest artist of all time as a consolation

He even went after Wiz’s ex, Amber Rose, whom he called a “stripper,” and the child they have together.
4th you let a stripper trap you
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
5th I know you mad every time you look at your child that this girl got you for 18 years

This wasn’t the first time Kanye has said some pretty harsh things about Rose, whom he dated before marrying Kardashian. Earlier this year, he said he had to take 30 showers after breaking up with Rose.
But Rose wouldn’t take any of it, and tweeted what is possibly the greatest comeback of all time. She really pulled Kanye’s finger here.
In typical Kanye fashion, he went back and deleted many of the tweets from his timeline, after he “suddenly realized” that Wiz had clarified his “kk” remark wasn’t about his wife.
I’m happy that I now know that KK means weed… please excuse the confusion … now back to #WAVES— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
Ima take these down cause it’s all about positive energy blessings blessings positive energy blessings

But Rose still took credit for sticking it to him where it hurts.
