Kanye West Accused Beyonce And Jay-Z Of Practicing Witchcraft In Bizarre Claims Amid Feud

Kanye West has made a lot of controversial comments and wild accusations over the years, with his reputation a nosedive in 2022 after a series of bizarre behavior and comments, leading to him losing his billionaire status.

Even though Kanye is having a so-called comeback at the moment (including his $19 million Yeezy sales after his low-budget Super Bowl ad plus the release of his Vultures album), his previous comments about Beyonce and Jay-Z are coming back to haunt him.

Kanye Once Said Jay-Z And Beyonce Practice Black Magic

Resurfaced comments that Kanye made in November 2002 feature the rapper claiming the high-powered couple practice witchcraft, specifically black magic, to control others in the industry.

“They can control Shaq, they can control Charles Barkley, they can control LeBron James, they can control Jay-Z and Beyonce, but they can’t control me. Ain’t no name I won’t name. It’s up,” he said at the time.

“My momma [Donda West] was sacrificed. Michael Jordan, what about him? His dad, right? Bill Cosby, his son, right? Dr. Dre, his son,” Kanye continued. “Out here in Hollywood, a lot of people come up missing. Feels like it might be a lot of that in order to control, traumatize.”

“They wanna monetize and traumatize. And God loves me. They hit me. GAP, Adidas, all that away. Still, Forbes, who hate me, had to write, ‘Net worth: $400 million,’” Ye went on. “I never killed nobody, right? I’m the ***** that never killed nobody, right? But that means I could say whatever I want and not go to jail.”

Kanye And Jay-Z Went From Collaborating To Suing Each Other

Nowadays, Kanye has been in a long-standing feud with Jay-Z, despite being musical collaborators for many years, including on Jay-Z’s iconic album “The Blueprint” in 2001. Kanye’s production skills and innovative style meshed seamlessly with Jay-Z’s lyrical prowess, catapulting both artists to new heights of success.

However, cracks in their relationship began to emerge publicly in 2011 when Jay-Z and Kanye released their joint album “Watch the Throne.” The feud between the two escalated in 2016 when Kanye publicly criticized Jay-Z during a concert, expressing grievances over their strained relationship and issues with their families. The rift deepened as Jay-Z addressed their differences in his album “4:44,” with lyrics suggesting betrayal and disappointment.

More recently, the former friends were embroiled in a legal dispute when Kanye attempted to leave Jay-Z’s streaming service Tidal when they got into a disagreement over compensation.

Additionally, their wives, Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian, were also embroiled in their own feud, with rumors of friction between them surfacing over the years. The womens’ supposed rivalry dates back to the early 2010s, fueled by tabloid speculation and perceived competition in the entertainment industry.

Beyonce and Jay-Z haven’t responded to Kanye’s claims that they practice black magic, even though the recently viral comments are catching the attention of lots of fans nearly two decades later.
