Less than a month away from the release of his highly anticipated 3rd major album—“Graduation,” Chicago rapper/producer Kanye West fears fans misinterpret his new track “Big Brother” as an attack on fellow rapper, Def Jam president Jay Z.

According to Contact Music, West says the rapper inspired his upcoming single and admits he accuses the star of “ripping him off” by collaborating with British band Coldplay.

However, Kanye says the song is more of an ode than anything else.

“Bad news travels fast so I expect some people to focus on certain lines.” Said Kanye.

“But I also sing, ‘If you admire someone you should tell ‘em/No one get the flowers when you can still smell them’. “When I played it to Jay he was emotional.” He continued.

In related news, the Louis Vuitton Don will be releasing his “Pastel” clothing line in November.

“Just getting the right designs. It’s a gift and a curse. You’ve got all eyes on you, so if you deliver something great, it’s gonna get held as, “Oh, it’s supposed to be great.” And even if it’s good or it’s OK or something, it’s gonna get bashed. There were phases where I could just do the bear on a Polo and it would’ve made $100 million.” Kanye tells Complex Magazine regarding the hold up of the release.

Kanye’s “Graduation” is set to hit stores on September 11th, while “Pastel” will hit shelves sometime in November.
