Kanye West changed his album title from SWISH to WAVES and not everybody is a fan. Wiz Khalifa took the opportunity to openly show his hate for the new album title. He says that he's a huge fan of incarcerated rapper Max B, of 'I'm Wavy' fame, and doesn't want 'Ye to try and take that wave.
Please don't take the wave.

Max B is the wavy one. He created the wave. There is no wave without him. — KOE (@wizkhalifa) January 27, 2016
He's the reason I sing on all my songs. That's the wave. If theres nothing wit that sound ITS NOT WAVY.

Chase N. Cashe has also been sharing his feelings about it and he has the same thoughts as Wiz Khalifa.
Don't even play yourself by stroking your own ego tryna claim the wave. Max B. is the only curator of the Wave we're all followers of him. — Chase N. Cashe (@ChaseNCashe) January 27, 2016
That man Kanye ain't do nothing wrong it's not a negative thing but real ones know how much Max stamped that word. It's embedded in the game

Hey, at least Mick Jenkins (his last album was titled Waves) and Rock band Wavves have a good sense of humor:
New album title, SWISH — Spread Love (@mickjenkins) January 27, 2016
My new album is called 'Kanye'
— WAVVES (@wavves) January 27, 2016
Kanye has responded to some of the criticism.
All respect to Andre Harrel and Max B #Waves — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) January 27, 2016
But Wiz wasn't buying it:
