Kanye West has been called out by boxer Ryan Garcia for allegedly declining his offer to accompany him to the ring over a joke about Diddy.
In a lengthy rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday (April 9), Garcia unloaded on the Chicago rap icon, who he claims is “mad” at him for saying “no Diddy,” a play on the “pause” trope that has gained steam in the wake of the mogul’s sexual assault allegations.

While speaking to the press ahead of his fight with Devin Haney on April 20, the 25-year-old was asked about his walkout offer to Ye and said: “Kanye told me ‘no.’ He don’t like that I said ‘no Diddy.'”
He was referring to a previous request to 50 Cent where he wrote: “@50cent would be awesome if you walked out with me 4-20. No diddy. Let’s do this!!!!”
That led to the boxer launching into a vicious social media tirade against Kanye, taunting him over his antisemitic controversy, divorce from Kim Kardashian and terminated adidas deal.
“Why Kanye mad at me for saying ‘no diddy’. He lost it when he said he was the New Jesus,” Garcia began.

“Kanye thought he was [invincible] he cool but when you say the things you say. Then it will come back around. You really loved Kim and you lost her. Pete had her that’s sad, carnival helped you.
“Still you really defending someone that the feds on, and the crazy thing is you told everyone about him. And now you changed your tune bc you exalted your self higher then God you aren’t God no one cares about Kanye anymore.”

He added: “It’s not a black thing or a color thing it’s a someone did something wrong thing. If diddy did wrong then he did wrong i don’t give a fudge about color. The feds don’t show up if there isn’t any solid proof. Sad to see people defending this.”
Garcia also claimed Kanye is scared of him: “I’m on Kanye neck he can’t respond bc he terrified, I’m on him what’s good. We ant the old image back bc the new Kanye lost himself, he decided to be a beacon for hate. And then he backtracks bc he soft real f*** talk.”
He continued to criticize the rapper for comparing himself to Jesus: “Nobody even talking about Yeezys he try to use Jesus name to sale Shoes and his whole brand. He called himself YEEZSUS. Bro is a fan of Jesus and try to be Jesus. That’s the devil the one who thought he is God.”
Garcia additionally made claims about Kanye’s sex life with ex-wife Kim Kardashian: “I heard Kim puts her finger in Kanye b** allegedly.”

The controversial boxer, who is no stranger to bizarre outbursts, then went one step further and claimed that Ye is secretly homosexual.
“Kanye defending diddy bc that’s his daddy,” he wrote in one post, before adding: “Kanye IS GAY. that’s okay. You do you. Diddy companion that’s okay. Kanye the butthole Wordshipper. Sad news but he likes it. No judgement.”

Garcia’s rant wound down with more shots at the rapper’s porn addiction, current wife Bianca Censori and allegations that Drake slept with Kim Kardashian when she was married to West.
“Let’s be real, right drake FUCKED your girl ‘Kim’ moved to the house next to you . Then she dates Pete Davidson . And then you get a look alike to Kim ‘Bianca,'” he wrote.

“And then you have the nerve to say you the new Jesus. LMFAO you are a bum facts.”

Ryan Garcia had earlier used Devin Haney’s relationship with Diddy to mock his future opponent in the build-up to their fight.
Last month, Garcia was seen working out in T-shirt featuring a picture of Puffy and Haney together shirtless in a swimming pool.

The lightweight fighter further taunted his opponent by showing up to their pre-fight press conference to Diddy’s 1997 hit “I’ll Be Missing You.”
In response, Haney posted a picture of Garcia straddling his trainer after winning a fight against Luke Campbell in January 2021.
