During Kanye West’s show on Saturday night in Edmonton, Kanye called out people he claimed were imitating his floating stage concept, saying, “This the original. Accept no imitations. You with the rap god right now. Niggas be copying my shit bro. Stealing our shit, stealing stages. Copying our shit.”
Well, looks like Kanye’s original idea isn’t original after all. South African rapper Cassper Nyovest took to Twitter to claim that he had the idea first. Cassper Nyovest debuted the floating stage stunt in 2015 during his fill up the dome concert.
The rapper took to social media to respond to the Kanye’s rant, he wrote:
“Woke up to my name on American blogs about how I possibly stole kanye’s stage. We did this a year ago already. lol. Ya Neh.”
