Memphis Depay believes that Kanye West messed with the wrong club
The 30-year-old looked pretty elated after his team had completed a famous comeback victory against Inter Milan. However, it seems that the Dutchman went too far with his emotions when he called out Kanye West via his Instagram stories. The former Manchester United player issued a warning to the 46-year-old rapper not to go against Atletico Madrid in the future.
Memphis Depay wrote, “Yo, Ye, you chose the wrong team to f*ck with lol. This is Atlético de Madrid.” However, it seems like the Dutchman had written the words in a light mood, as he then offered Kanye West a chance to collaborate with his beloved club. Memphis Depay wants the 21-time Grammy Award winner to compose a song for Atletico’s home Civitas Metropolitano.

The Puma athlete also asked Kanye to join his apparel company. Adidas had earlier cut ties with Kanye’s fashion brand Yeezy in 2021 after the latter’s anti-semitic comments.
Memphis Depay was another star of the night for Atletico Madrid, who defeated Inter Milan on penalties in the second leg. The Dutchman had scored the crucial goal in the 86th minute that equalized the aggregate score 2-2, which forced extra time and then ultimately the penalty shootout.
Kanye West was a spectator at the San Siro when Inter Milan took on Atletico Madrid
The 46-year-old was accompanied by his wife, Bianca Censori, and rapper Ty Dolla $ign. The trio watched the game as Inter Milan delivered a masterful performance that subjugated Atletico’s players. Although the scoreline of 1-0 won’t justify ‘The Nerazzuri’s’ performance on the night, Kanye and his entourage duly enjoyed the Champions League night.
However, Inter Milan and Kanye West have a very interesting relationship. The American rapper invited a group of Inter Milan ultras to feature in his rap song ‘Carnival.’ The song was a part of the rapper’s new studio album, ‘Vultures’.The Ultras were even credited for the song and appeared in the music video. The soccer world was astonished to learn about the rapper’s interest in soccer’s ultras culture.
The Memphis Depay-Kanye West social media incident, in our opinion, should not receive the negative response that it has. The Dutch striker is well aware of his actions, and it looks like the IG story isn’t as threatening as the X users have perceived it to be.
The Dutch soccer player has even invited Kanye West to be his club’s guest. Besides, Kanye West has never made a threatening remark against the club from Madrid. All in all, it is a trivial matter that will soon be forgotten. Soccer fans should not lose their cool over a small social media remark.
