Ye - formerly Kanye West - is advising all rappers to stand down from battling Kendrick Lamar outside of one circumstance. West sat down with Justin Laboy for their The Download interview released on Tuesday (Feb.

Host Justin Laboy then concluded, “There you have it: Do not rap against Kendrick Lamar.” Kanye added, “Unless you’re a psycho genius like me.” That said, he also indicated Drake could somehow mount a comeback against Lamar, saying, “You can’t ever count out Steph Curry.
