Dave Blunts is distancing himself from Kanye West.
On Friday, images of an alleged text conversation between the producer and West surfaced online, showing Blunts cutting ties with Ye and urging him to "find God."
In the screenshots, posted by Blunts, the 24-year-old rapper told Ye that he "can no longer continue to work on this album" and that he's going on his "own journey."
"It does not align with what you want me to do. I appreciate the opportunity but respectfully I'm out," he said."
Ye reportedly replied, "Ok thank you. What are the parts that didn't align." To which Blunts responded, "You are very lost. Please find God."
Blunts had also taken to his Instagram Stories earlier this week to clarify that he's done collaborating with Ye and doesn't want people to ask him about any music they've done together.
"Stop asking me about YE music I don't work w dude anymore I'm on my own path!" he wrote.
Blunts and Ye weren't always at odds. Back in April, Blunts shared screenshots of a lighthearted exchange with Ye about the album they've been working on, where Ye texted him: "This is more important than the album. We're like Ye and Silent Bob. Getting banned from Twitter is worse than being in China trying to load porn with no VPN. I'll just start spamming you with my tweet ideas."
Their creative partnership started when Ye, after hearing some of Blunts' music, suggested connecting him with his trainer, telling him, "We need you to stay alive."
From there, the two began working closely together, with Blunts claiming he was the sole author of Ye's lyrics on Cuck, the 48-year-old's much-anticipated release. "Every song on that album… I wrote that shit, me," Blunts said, describing the project as the product of "one man going between hurt, betrayal, and pain and he's putting that shit down."
Ye himself has since confirmed Blunts' account, writing on X, "This is true." He also praised Blunts, saying, "We would talk for hours, then he'd write three songs in a day," and even called Blunts his "current favorite rap artist" in a previous social media post.
Despite their falling out, Blunts recently suggested Ye may be in a better place now. In an interview with DJ Vlad, the 24-year-old said the veteran rapper appears to have moved past his controversial antisemitic outbursts.
"That sht was like a blur and I was getting lost in the character," Blunts explained. "For me, it was a character because I was, like, being him. Obviously, he's not a character, but … he shared his gripes on Twitter. He would tell me these things before he would tweet them."
Blunts added, "I do know now that he's not on that anymore and he's, you know, doing better now."
