During his Saint Pablo Tour stop at KeyArena in Seattle last night, Kanye made it clear to the audience what exactly has been going on with the Apple/Tidal beef, him and Hov’s Watch The Throne 2, and controversy over the “Pop Style” song with Drake.
“Let me tell y’all something. There will never be a Watch the Throne 2. You know why? Because that’s the reason why I wasn’t on the song [“Pop Style”]. I wasn’t on the song because of Hov. Because of some Tidal/Apple bullshit. This shit get me tight every time I perform this motherfucker. Y’all didn’t get what y’all was supposed to get with me and Drake on this song because of some Tidal/Apple bullshit. This shit got me tight. Every time I perform this song I think about the shit. I think about the politics and the bullshit. I think about how hard I go for music, for art, for y’all, for the fans—how hard we go.
I started freestyling to it. Jay thought of a couple lines. I said, ‘Man, just go ahead and throw that on there. They’ll be so surprised. He probably wouldn’t expect you to be on there.’ And [Drake] was like, ‘Oh shit, The Throne is on this shit!’ Then Jay thought about it and, out of respect for Meek Mill, he ain’t want to be on the track. And I said, ‘Look, I’ll call Drake, I’ll call Meek, I’ll call y’all…we gotta let people have this song!’ But then it went out of that territory and it went into some Tidal shit, some political shit, some shit about percentages on songs. I can’t take this shit, bro! Our kids ain’t never even played together. Run that shit.
After Kim’s robbery, Kanye said Jay-Z called him to see how everyone was doing and he replied to him come sit down and talk with me rather than a phone call. Some serious stuff goin on with Ye..
He also included the fact that Jay-Z didn’t want to get on the album version of “Pop Style” with Drake out of respect for Meek Mill because Meek is Roc Nation management. Ye said he would call both Drake and Meek and settle it but that still wasn’t good enough:

Ye really went off this time. There’s nothing more frustrating in the world than when an artist wants to give out his art but they can’t.
