The two global music icons, Kanye West and Taylor Swift, have always had a volatile relationship. Sparking drama from time to time, the duo have again managed to make headlines in recent days. After media outlets reported Swift’s net worth and claimed that she could buy West and still have $700M left, the rapper seemed offended by it.
Therefore, recently, Kanye West expressed his rage against Taylor Swift in his new album, Vultures 1. Dropping Swift’s name in his song Carnival, West spitted bars that he “made six Taylor Swift”. This direct insult seemed to have infuriated Swifties, who then took to X to slam the rapper for desperately trying to be relevant.
Kanye West’s Recent Insult Against Taylor Swift in His New Song
From time to time, Kanye West and Taylor Swift have made headlines for their dramatic feud in the entertainment industry. Often hitting the public spotlight for stage crashing and secretly recording phone calls, the two global music icons have made myriads of controversies. West has even insinuated that he made Swift “famous” through his 2016 track, Famous.
However, on a recent note, the situation aggravated once again after media outlets reported Taylor Swift’s net worth in December 2023. Implying that the singer’s net worth is enough to buy Kanye West and still have $700M left, the outlet sparked controversies that reignited the feud between the duo. It seems West took the headlines quite seriously as he targeted Swift through his music.
Releasing his new album Vultures 1, Kanye West once again insulted Taylor Swift by name-dropping her in his music. In the album’s 12th track, titled Carnival, West spitted bars that he “made six Taylor Swift”, as reported via EW. It seems the rapper can’t let go of their rocky past, which initially began in 2009 after he stage crashed Swift’s 2009 Video Music Awards acceptance speech.

kanye west still unironically thinking he made taylor swift famous is so.. like if you’re the one using her name in songs TWICE because you’re desperate for attention, i don’t think you’re as relevant as you think you are

Kanye, is the only n who's gonna mention Taylor Swift's name in an attempt to get relevant again and perhaps a bit famous… just like when he begged to have her name in his song last time when he illegally recorded her call & his ex wife edited it to paint TS as a liar. https://t.co/LZaEy6mpQe

Taylor Swift was his target twice and has successfully moved on from both events and thrived. Meanwhile, Kanye feels the need to name drop her everytime he needs clout and attention. Says a lot about how desperate he is to be relevant right now. https://t.co/judxMtQ1Zl
