Sheck Wes Fires Back at Ye Over “Mo Bamba” Comments

It’s been nearly six years since Sheck Wes shook up the music scene with his mega hit “Mo Bamba,” featured on his debut album MUDBOY. Since then, the Harlem native has struggled to recapture the same level of intensity and excitement around his music. With only one album to his name and his last single released in 2022 with “PAIN!”, Sheck Wes remains determined to defend the legacy of “Mo Bamba,” even against his boss, Ye.

According to reports from HipHopDX, Sheck Wes took issue with viral comments made by Ye regarding who he considers the greatest rapper of all time. Ye, in his trademark confident style, proclaimed himself the G.O.A.T., boasting about surpassing Drake and Kendrick Lamar. This appeared to be a response to recent diss tracks between Drake and Kendrick.

In response to Ye’s remarks, Sheck Wes accused him of appropriating the “Mo Bamba” sound to achieve a number one hit with “CARNIVAL.” “You stole my whole cadence, flow, beat, tempo to get #1 u delusional and u ain’t check in w the buzzins!! U n****s really bugged out!” Although Wes seemingly deleted the comment, Ye quickly captured it and reposted it on his IG story, along with a snippet of “Mo Bamba.”
