Kanye West is not OK. He feels betrayed by onetime friends, especially Drake; the pair fell out after the Toronto MC accused the Chicago-bred rap legend of revealing he fathered a secret child, Adonis, and released the diss track "Duppy Freestyle." Drake has continued to take shots at West, and during his feature on Trippie Redd's August 2021 cut "Betrayal," he accused the Chi-legend of being "burned out." Kanye responds with some jabs at his rival during this song's first verse. See me in person, I look like a ghost You wanna come in and play with the G.O.A.T. The word "duppy" is Jamaican patois for "ghost." Ye is also parroting Drake's own lyrics from his "Behind Barz" track where Drizzy criticized Kanye for appearing more focused on fashion than music. On that song Drake rapped: Seen 'em in person, I'm seein' a ghost
Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty and Chicago native Rooga contribute guest verses. They both keep to the track's theme of calling out fake friends and detractors.
The song marks the first officially released collaboration between Lil Yachty and Kanye West. The pair did record music together in 2016 during the sessions for Kanye's scrapped album TurboGrafx16, when he wasn't yet a known commodity. Lil Yachty also made his debut as a model in February 2016, modeling Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 during The Life of Pablo's Madison Square Garden listening party.
