‘I hated his designs!’ Kanye West claims he was ‘jealous’ of late Virgil Abloh but ‘loved and misses him’ as he shares texts hitting back at former collaborator Tremaine Emory

Kanye West shared several screensH๏τs from an alleged ‘abbreviated conversation’ with Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory to his Instagram account on Friday.

The 45-year-old was previously called out in a post that was shared to the 41-year-old designer’s Instagram account earlier this week, in which he expressed that the rapper did not care about Virgil Abloh and spoke negatively of him prior to his death.

The Stronger rapper went on to defend himself in the alleged conversation and remarked that he was a great admirer of the late fashion industry figure and was ‘jealous’ of what he achieved during his career, even as he lambasted his fashion designs in the same conversation.

The Bound 2 songwriter also wrote that he ‘scrame at Virgil, I was jealous of Virgil, I felt betrayed and lied to by Virgil [sic],’ although he clarified that he also had ‘love’ for the late fashion industry figure.

When speaking about the designer’s private funeral, he wrote that he ‘wanted to grab the mic’ and send a message about reconciliation to A$AP Mob members A$AP Rocky and A$AP Bari.

The performer added: ‘This past few days have felt like an extension of Virgil’s funeral. Virgil played the game perfectly and it still killed him.’

West went on to express that he wanted to apologize to Abloh’s family for taking up his time, and he went on to thank Emory for allowing him to express his feelings about the matter.

The rapper then wrote that ‘it’s hard to find real friends when you’re a walking meal ticket,’ and remarked that he wanted to discuss the matter further in the future.

He concluded by expressing his views about what consтιтuted ‘power’ and wrote that ‘all the BLM’rs’ were ‘calling to threaten my life all over again.’
