Last night (January 26), Kanye revealed that he'd once again changed the name of his long-awaited new album. The release formerly known as So Help Me God and SWISH has now been dubbed Waves, and Khalifa took issue with that on Twitter, understanding Kanye's title as a take on Max B's iconic wavy sound:
Please don't take the wave.
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him.
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Im a wavy baby for sure and I'm not having it. https://t.co/M7hhKo5TlP
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
He's the reason I sing on all my songs. That's the wave. If theres nothing wit that sound ITS NOT WAVY.
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Perhaps feeling the heat, Kanye responded to the claims:
All respect to Andre Harrel and Max B #Waves
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
Khalifa responded to that one with a "Yea aight" before tweeting a weed reference:
Hit this kk and become yourself.
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Kanye took the "kk" abbreviation as a diss against his wife Kim Kardashian, which then inspired Kanye to go in on a little rant of his own:
Oh niggas must think I'm not petty cause I'm the best that's ever made music
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
Like, oh that's Ye and I can put his wife's initials on my twitter @Wizkhalifa
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016

I been smashed the idea of that album even existing. I got joints to roll @kanyewest
— KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
Kanye kept it going with plenty of other tweets and, unfortunately, dragged Amber Rose into the situation:

Calming down a little, Kanye added that he loves Wiz as a person (?!?) in some more tweets:
What's sad is I love Wiz and I love all all my brothers and all people
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
I love the world bottom line and all I want is peace and positive energy
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
This album is actually a Gospel album
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
Good energy positive energy
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
UPDATE (01/27, 4 p.m.): Now Amber Rose has weighed in with a particularly crass tweet.
Awww @kanyewest are u mad I'm not around to play in ur asshole anymore? #FingersInTheBootyAssBitch☝
— Amber Rose (@DaRealAmberRose) January 27, 2016
UPDATE (01/28, 9 a.m.): West appears to have deleted his amazing 17-part rant, half-apologizing to Khalifa for making him lose two million followers, and recognizing that his wife isn't the "KK" in the universe.
Man it's a sad a day… Wiz lost 2 million followers since I tweeted I didn't mean to either him like that.
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
I'm happy that I now know that KK means weed… please excuse the confusion … now back to #WAVES
