David Crosby is no fan of Kanye West’s and he wants the world to know what a talent-less individual West really is…

On Friday, the guitarist, singer, and songwriter threw endless shade at West, telling HuffPost Live, “Kanye West can’t write, sing or play, so I have trouble with him as anything but a poser.”


“But he can produce,” host Alyona Minkovski ran to West defense, but Crosby shut her down. “Produce,” he said. “That means he sits in a chair while the engineer does the work. He’s a poser. I’m not backing off it.” Ouch!

This isn’t the first time Crosby has slammed West, leading us to think there is something more going on here. Back in March, when asked for his opinion about “Kanye’s music” and “impact as an artist,” Crosby replied “He’s an idiot and a poser…has no talent at all.”


Earlier this week, he told The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that he received “lots” of backlash over his remarks about West on social media, but it didn’t influence his opinion of the G.O.O.D. Music rapper. “People raging at me on Twitter, and I don’t care,” he said. “I think the guy’s an idiot! What can I tell you?”

A majority, however, seems to have a different opinion of West, who has won 21 Grammy’s and remains one of the most famous hip hop artists in the world. West, who is currently headlining this weekend’s 2015 Glastonbury Music Festival in the U.K., has not responded to Crosby’s remarks.
