After a whirlwind of controversial collaborations, Dave Blunts has officially announced that his creative partnership with Kanye West has come to an end. The rapper and songwriter, who has been a major force behind some of Ye’s most polarizing lyrics in recent years, revealed the news in a candid Instagram Story post that quickly caught fans’ attention.
“Stop asking me about YE music, I don’t work w dude anymore, I’m on my own path!” Blunts wrote, according to screenshots shared by Kurrco on Twitter. The statement confirms what many fans had been speculating as Kanye’s recent music updates have noticeably lacked Blunts’ signature influence.
Blunts previously opened up about the challenges of working alongside Kanye, admitting that crafting Ye’s track originally titled “H.H.” (now called “Hallelujah”) left him feeling conflicted. “I felt like Oppenheimer,” he reflected, describing the weight of creating lyrics that would later spark public outrage.
The duo’s collaborations often pushed boundaries and not always in a good way. Kanye’s lyrics in recent years have drawn criticism for promoting racism, homophobia, and antisemitism, with many fans questioning whether the controversial bars reflected Ye’s views or were purely artistic choices. While Blunts was a key contributor to the music, most listeners recognize that Kanye himself has been at the center of his own downfall, making headlines for erratic behavior and divisive public statements.
For now, Dave Blunts seems ready to leave the chaos behind and focus on his solo career. As for Kanye, the news leaves fans wondering how his future projects will sound without Blunts’ involvement and whether this shift marks a turning point in Ye’s turbulent career.
