It's safe to say that when Kanye West revealed his stage at first stop of the Saint Pablo tour this year, he switched up the concert experience completely with a floating platform.

Now, he's accusing rappers of stealing that same stage design—and many think he's calling out future album collaborator, Drake.

West called for the music to come to a halt in the middle of performing "Freestyle 4."

"This is the original. Accept no imitations," he exclaimed.

"Niggas be copying my shit, bro. Stealin' our shit, stealin' stages. Copying our shit one-to-one," West continued, captured on video by fans.

Many outlets are drawing conclusions that West, who made the remarks in Canada, is specifically talking about Drake, who has been on tour in support of his album Views. Some of those tour stops have included surprise appearances by West.

Earlier this month, some fans spotted the similarities between their respective stages.

West has had to deal with a lot of copycat behavior when it comes to the Yeezy brand—from coveted Saint Pablo tour merch to his footwear line with Adidas.

Regardless of who exactly West was referring to, he's never afraid to start pushing the 'Ye button and put people on blast, so the answers will probably reveal themselves shortly.
