Clearly rattled by Legend’s opinion, West took a screenshot of the message and once again took to the Twitter platform, stating, “You bringing up my fans or my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought.”

Thankfully, the spat didn’t end too dramatically with West continuing to showcase the pair’s messages online. Legend responded to West in a calm manner, urging the rapper to “think freely” and “think with context too.” The singer then added, “And since you’re posting texts, let me add that I have a new single out haha.”
