Hip-hop royalty loves drama the way Shakespeare loved daggers, and Ye, previously known as Kanye West, has always been center stage. His career is a mixtape of genius, chaos, and occasional exile from polite society. But every empire needs its young scribes, and Ye had Dave Blunts, a rising 24-year-old lyricist with both pen and backbone. Until now. Because what is a kingdom without betrayal? [1]
While kingdoms rise and fall on beats and bars, a young ghostwriter flips the script, proving that even backstage loyalty has a breaking point no crown can fix.

Dave Blunts dropped the ghostwriter mic like it carried all the tea, turning a studio session into an episode of backstage chaos. After refusing to continue work on Ye’s album, Blunts sealed the breakup with the immortal words, “You are very lost. Please find God.” Shared on his Instagram Story, the text doubled as both a creative boundary and a moral exorcism, turning what looked like a studio squabble into a divine intervention.
The twist lands harder when one remembers Dave Blunts’ early devotion. Ye once hailed him as his “favorite rap artist,” letting him write on controversial tracks and even defend him in feuds. That is loyalty, until it becomes liability. In a quick Instagram Story, Blunts cleared his part in the split, making it obvious he was stepping away on his own terms, while Ye himself remains silent. A ghostwriter walking away from ghosts, Shakespeare himself would clap from the balcony.[2]
As devotion meets drama, the mic drop is only the start, leaving everyone wondering what stormy mix of chaos and conscience could push a ghostwriter to walk.
Dave Blunts walks away from Ye as the chaos of genius meets personal limits
Dave Blunts’ exit is not just about studio spats; it is about self-preservation. In a text shared on Instagram Story, he admitted their “journeys” no longer aligned, suggesting Ye’s unpredictable chaos clashed with his evolving values. Add the pressure of ghostwriting inflammatory lyrics, “panic attacks” he revealed in a DJ Vlad interview a month ago, and the constant orbit of Ye’s controversies, and the picture sharpens. Telling Ye to “find God” was more than quitting; it was reclaiming peace and sanity.[3]

Behind the curtain, this split feels less like creative differences and more like spiritual surgery. Dave Blunts once revealed to DJ Vlad and Jay Mohr that Ye had him writing entire albums after hours of intense, sometimes unsettling talks. For a 24-year-old carving his own career, the stakes were too high. His refusal signals more than artistic rebellion; it is survival. In a culture of chaos, sometimes walking away is the only verse worth writing.
