The artist formerly known as Kanye West wants to make it clear that he's not jealous about Nav joining Playboi Carti onstage at Rolling Loud.

Following Carti's star-studded performance at Rolling Loud on Sunday, March 16, a screenshot that appeared to be of Ye's Instagram page circulated online. In the screenshot, Ye asked Carti why he didn't bring him out despite bringing out so many other artists. "Had a whole damn chessboard with all of those pawns," read the fake texts. "You even had Nav up there. ... And why is Kai so short. ... Fucking Nav bro really."

In case it wasn't already obvious, Ye retweeted the screenshot to make sure fans knew it wasn't legitimate. "This is not real," wrote Ye, who seemingly has no issue with Nav.

Nav was present during Carti's huge set at Rolling Loud, but he did not perform any songs. Other guests onstage included The Weeknd, Kai Cenat, and Skepta.

While Ye was not bad-mouthing Nav, he had some choice words for Kendrick Lamar following his three guest appearances on Carti's new album, MUSIC. "I don't like Kendrick Lamar's music," he tweeted in all-caps. "He raps very good but I didn't need to hear him on Carti album."
