Rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, slammed Barstool Sports chief Dave Portnoy on X after he labeled West’s meme coin a scam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Portnoy had posted on X on Feb. 22 that `‘Rumor is Kanye (worst human alive) may be launching a scam meme coin and morons will buy it.”  <\/span><\/p>\n

Ye <\/span>replied<\/span><\/a> in a video posted on X on Feb. 24. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Dave Portnoy, I don’t know you. I saw you was tweeting… I have no idea who you are, we’ve gone back and forth joking.” <\/span><\/p>\n

Kanye West Sends Mixed Signals On X – Is He Launching His Own Meme Coin?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ye had indicated on X that he was considering launching a meme coin, although he has since deleted those posts. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m going to open the CA [contract address] for my Swasticoin to Jewish people and my friends and family first,” he wrote in one of the deleted posts. <\/span><\/p>\n

While Ye publicly refers to the rumored meme coin as “Swasticoin,” sources close to the rapper told CoinDesk that the project might instead be named YZY.<\/span><\/p>\n

In another post on Feb. 23, the American rapper said, “I need my own blockchain,” leading many to believe that he was looking for a network to deploy his token on.<\/span><\/p>\n
