Steve Lacy Alludes To Regretting Matching Tattoo He Shares w/ Kanye West + Gives An Update On Where They Currently Stand Following The ‘Donda’ Rapper’s Latest Controversy

Steve Lacy is opening up about his experience working on Kanye West’s ‘Donda‘ album and rethinking the matching tattoo he got with the controversial rapper.

During a recent interview on The Breakfast Club, Steve Lacy, 24, spoke about his friendship with Kanye West, 45, and how they are very “different” from each other. Co-host Charlamagne Tha God jokingly asked,

“How hard is it to leave the house and not act like Kanye?”

The ‘Bad Habit’ singer replied,

“Well that’s easy. He’s him, he’s Kanye, we’re pretty different.”

Charlamagne then asked Lacey if he and Kanye had a relationship at one point. The singer responded,

“Yeah, I got a matching tattoo with him.” 

Co-host Angela Yee followed up and jokingly asked if he thinks the tattoo aged well. Steve Lacey replied,

“I ask myself that question everyday…I don’t know.”

When asked if he’s still friends with the Chicago rapper, Lacy was seemingly apprehensive but said,

“Kanye?…Yeah.”

As previously reported, in August, Steve Lacy took to Instagram to reveal his matching tattoo with rappers Lil Uzi, and Kanye West. In the photo, it appears that the three artists placed their matching tattoos right above their forearms. The tattoo says:

“We here forever technically.”

Later in the inverter, Steve Lacy credited Kanye West for co-signing his artistry and talent, being that he’s still a new artist/producer.

“He was definitely a huge part kinda me getting to it on this album. I was kinda a ghost on ‘Donda,’ around that time at the stadiums. I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life.”

He continued,

“I would get these different tasks, first I’m there programming drums, then I have the duty of reproducing some songs. I would always do my job, then go leave. He would always notice me when I would leave. I’ve been here five days, then I get a call, ‘Where you at?'”

Steve Lacy then explained how the behind-the-scenes process of making ‘Donda’ really inspired him as an artist.

“We maintained a relationship after that, but I think just watching the process of that collaboration–and having so many hands on your stuff but it still being yours was super inspiring. I think the work ethic and the bars element–kind of like hip-hop theme, I kinda took that, and went to the studio worked on mine and applied all those notes that I had.
