Rapper sparks outrage with vulgar lyrics referencing past controversy and comparing himself to convicted criminals.

Kanye West has set the internet ablaze once again with his latest song “Carnival,” featuring shocking lyrics that reignite his long-standing feud with Taylor Swift. Released on his and Ty Dolla $ign’s album “Vultures 1,” the track features West making sexually suggestive remarks about Swift and comparing himself to figures like R. Kelly and Bill Cosby, both convicted of sexual assault.

The lyrics, which have been widely condemned, see West boasting about his wealth and influence while making derogatory comments about Swift. He even goes as far as comparing himself to controversial figures like R. Kelly and Bill Cosby, drawing sharp criticism for his lack of sensitivity and respect.

This latest incident comes after a years-long saga of public disputes between West and Swift, dating back to the infamous 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech. The feud escalated further in 2016 with the release of West’s song “Famous,” which contained lyrics claiming he made Swift “famous.” Swift vehemently denied approving the lyrics, leading to a social media firestorm and further straining their relationship.

West’s latest actions have sparked outrage online, with many fans and critics alike condemning his lyrics as disrespectful, insensitive, and harmful. The comparisons to convicted criminals have been met with particular disgust, raising concerns about the normalization of harmful behavior and the trivialization of serious issues.

With “Carnival” now igniting a fresh wave of controversy, it remains to be seen how Taylor Swift will respond, if at all. One thing is certain: Kanye West’s latest actions have ensured he remains a lightning rod for public debate and criticism.
