In the heated feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift there was an infamous lyric from West’s 2016 hit ‘Famous,’ Swift’s Grammy retaliation, and the subsequent drama fueled by Kim Kardashian‘s claims. This clash of titans sparked a wildfire of debates and passionate fan allegiances, marked by the symbolic snake emojis that came to embody the intense feud.

As if the dust had settled, West threw gasoline on the embers by invoking Taylor Swift’s name on a fresh track from his latest album, ‘Vultures’. In this musical reincarnation, Ye breathed new life into the age-old rivalry, thrusting the audience back into the saga between him and Swift.

Kanye West reignited an old flame?

During Ye’s recent album listening party, a sensational twist of events definitely ruffled feathers. The Chicago-based rapper namedropped Swift in his track ‘Carnival’. The 46-year-old artist unleashed a lyrical storm that not only mentioned Swift but also stirred controversy by invoking the names of accused Bill Cosby and tech magnate Elon Musk. The provocative verse took a jab at the Me Too movement, leaving the crowd buzzing with mixed emotions.

With “I mean, since Taylor Swift / Since I had a Rollie on the wrist / I’m the new Jesus, bitch”, Ye’s controversial words reverberated in the world of music gossip. This was not the first chapter in the ongoing saga between Ye and Swift. Their feud, dating back nearly a decade, had previously sparked headlines when Ye allegedly used Swift’s name without her consent in his song ‘Famous’. Swift then later opened up about the psychological toll the controversy had taken on her, describing it as a “fully manufactured frame job.”

Not only did Ye lock horns with Swift during his recent album listening party, but he also stirred up trouble by igniting a feud with Ozzy Osbourne.

A double dose of drama for Ye

Ozzy Osbourne threw Ye under the musical bus. He claimed that the rapper swiped a section of Black Sabbath’s ‘War Pigs’ without Osbourne’s nod. Osbourne, in caps lock on social media, revealed that Ye, despite facing a snub due to alleged antisemitism, proceeded to snatch the sample for his album listening shindig. Although Ye had hit back at Osbourne, the rock legend, standing firm against any Ye connections, left fans wondering if this was a case of the pot calling the kettle black in the wild world of musical disputes.

Visuals of West’s sample heist remain elusive. However, the leaked audio suggested the resurrection of Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’ riff in ‘Carnival’. This revelation not only raised eyebrows but added a spicy twist to Ye’s track record of controversial sampling. This clash of creative titans served up a symphony of questions about artistic boundaries, intellectual property, and the turbulent terrain of music industry ethics.
