Grammys President Neil Portnow and Rich Gang’s Young Thug have stepped forward to speak out after being name-dropped in a Twitter rant by rap star Kanye West this week.
Mr. Portnow, who does not have a Twitter account, relied on the Grammys page to offer a sit down with Ye Wednesday (February 24).
.@kanyewest, I’m not on Twitter but just hit me up and let’s have that sit down. – Neil Portnow

Young Thug responded to being referenced by Kanye in a Grammys-related social media post on Instagram.
West dished out his respect but overall frustration with the annual Grammy Awards ceremony earlier in the day.
This nigga………Kim needs to slip him some Zannies, asap.
