Fans Speculate Kanye West is the Unnamed Rapper Who Went on a 45-Minute Club Rant Mentioned by Chris Brown [Video]

Social Media is reacting to Chris Brown jokingly telling a story about a rapper who ruined the club vibes, and fans think it might have been Kanye West.

During his time on the “I Ain’t Saying No Names” segment of the R&B Money podcast, Brown shared the story but kept the identity of the person involved a secret.

“There was this artist and [they] wanted to go out to the club with us … Huge artist. I’m like, ‘Alright, cool. Meet me at the crib, we gonna go to the club.’ It’s N***a Night, it’s turn-up night. [There’s] gonna be another artist in there performing, and that artist’s song was the number one song in the country,” he said.

“We get in the club, I make sure we got the whole section full of women. The person there, [he’s] looking around. The song come on, the other artist is onstage, starts singing the song, the whole building erupt. I’m talking about erupts. Everybody. Girls in our section, they going crazy,” he continued. “I look over to this person…not a smirk, not a head nod. Nothing.”

Brown said, one moment he was there and the next he was missing from the section.

“I look up, the n***a is on the DJ booth right next to the artist that’s doing the song, and he just like this,” Brown said.

“When the song goes off, the n***a takes the mic. … So I’m thinking this artist is about to do some songs. I’m like, ‘OK, he got the itch.’ Some artists can’t take it, you know, they self centered though, they got main character syndrome.”

Instead, Chris said things took a turn for the worst.

“The n***a goes on a 45-minute rant. I’m talking about talking, I’m talking about saying all of everything about nothing. It’s so disappointing. When I was in there I started looking around. The club [went from] being a ‘Yeah, everybody turning up, maybe we holler at some girls, what’s up’—it went from that to looking like the waiting room in hell.”

Brown said he remembered going downstairs to unwind with a smoke, only to return and find the section empty of girls, with the artist wrapping up his rant.

“The last thing I hear, ‘Such and such ain’t stick their finger in my booty. I don’t even play that way,’” said Brown. “I said, ‘Yeah, I’m out this motherfucker.’”

He said, “I left the club. I ain’t answer no phone calls. I’m going home.”

Although Chris didn’t name the artist, many fans on X figured out it was Kanye from his 2016 rant.

Fans shared videos online from that night, capturing Yo Gotti, who had a hit with “Down in the DM,” alongside Kanye on stage.

At what time stamp did you instantly know it was Kanye? For me it was 1:44
