Just Blaze Responds After Kanye West's Copycat Charge

Kanye West said mean things about numerous people during his Drink Champs chat last night.

Among them was Just Blaze, who he shaded when asked if Swizz Beatz or Just Blaze is better producer.

“Well, Swizz Beatz, definitely, because Just Blaze is a copycat, you know," Ye said. "He get credit for [JAY-Z's] The Blueprint, and I did the first half of The Blueprint, and he just copied my half. I mean look—look where I’m at today and look where he at today. So that should show you."

A surprised Blaze responded to that with an Instagram note, saying Ye had recently reached out to him to collaborate.

He also addressed his comments.

“Respectfully, I’m happy for him and the fact that he has succeeded in the ways he wanted to, but not everyone wants to be where he is,” he typed. “Everyone’s definition of personal success is a bit different. I’m quite happy where I am creatively, with my family, and my life in general. We were a part of history together and I wish him well and continued success.”

Is Just Blaze a copycat?
