Despite fans' curiosity about his deeper connections to the ongoing feud, Kanye clarified that his only involvement was in the music sampling process. He explained, “I just got sent a song and asked if I could clear a sample. The whole reason why I clear anything is because so many people try to stop me; they stop clearances. Everything has been very difficult for me, so I always, anybody asks me for something, I always clear.” His words underline a pragmatic approach to music collaborations, separate from the interpersonal conflicts that may arise.
