Kanye West under fire for dropping Taylor Swift's name in latest track 'Carnival' from 'Vultures Volume 1'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rapper Kanye West has once again stirred controversy among fans of Taylor Swift, drawing their ire with explicit references to the pop icon in the track 'Carnival' from his latest album, 'Vultures Volume 1'.
Recently, Kanye faced calls from online users to reconsider his music career after he turned to Instagram seeking assistance in booking arenas for his upcoming tour.
He cited difficulties in securing venues over the past year, partly attributed to backlash stemming from anti-Semitic remarks he made previously.
Further adding to the scrutiny, Kanye found himself under fire when images surfaced of his wife, Bianca Censori, nearly nude in public, wearing only a transparent raincoat and knee-high black boots as she accompanied her rapper husband to a recording studio in Los Angeles.
This sparked distress among Censori's parents and fueled additional criticism toward Kanye.

Reportedly, the contentious lyrics include lines such as, "Why she say she sucked my d**k? (Ha) Then she say she ain't sucked my d**k (Ha). She gon' take it up the a** (Ha), like a ventriloquist (Ha). I made six Taylor Swift (Ha), Since I had the Rollie on the wrist (Ha), I'm the new Jesus, b***h (Ha), I turn water to crist (Ha)."
The mention of the 'Lover' singer in conjunction with these explicit lyrics has incited anger among many fans, with some suggesting that Kanye's 'obsession' with Swift persists. Speculation on social media even suggests that Kanye may be attempting to reignite their past conflicts.
Daily Mail highlights the longstanding tension between Kanye and Swift, originating from the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards incident when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech, asserting that Beyonce deserved the award more. This rift was further fueled by West's 2016 album 'The Life of Pablo', which featured pointed lyrics aimed at Swift in the song 'Famous'.
Despite the online backlash directed at Kanye, there has been a contrasting positive response to his daughter, North West.
North's participation in the collaborative project with Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign, titled 'Talking / Once Again', particularly her vocal contribution and appearance in a snippet from the song's music video, has earned her praise on social media, with some labeling her a 'star'.
