Kanye West‘s February 11 album release date has drawn a lot of attention on social media. Almost everyone seems thrilled about the random album title switch from Swish to #Waves—except Wiz Khalifa.
The rapper took to Twitter to talk about who he thinks the true owner of “waves” is, Max B.
Please don’t take the wave.

Kanye, whose original tracklist now includes subheadings reading Acts 1-3, has declared the album not only “album of the year” but the “album of the life.”
From 2006-2009, Max B was best known for his individualistic mix tapes and affiliation with rappers like Jim Jones, French Montana and more. His music, which has a laidback and nostalgic feel, earned him fans all over the world—including Wiz, who showed his support and appreciation to Max (who’s currently serving a 75-year prison sentence) by sharing his music on Twitter and interacting with fans about it.
Khalifa, currently on a South American tour, recently released a freestyle over Adele’s “Hello,” remixing the title to “Hella-O’s” in true stoner fashion.
Kanye recently responded on Twitter acknowledging Max B and Andre Harrell by saluting the two in a few words. Can February 11 get here any sooner?
All respect to Andre Harrel and Max B #Waves — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
