Kanye West faces backlash for name-dropping Taylor Swift in song

Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston

In recent news, Kanye West has once again found himself at the center of controversy as he name-dropped Taylor Swift in his latest song, 'Carnival.' The track can be found on his new album, 'Vultures 1.' While the meaning behind his lyric stating he 'made six Taylor Swift' remains unclear, fans, particularly Swifties, have expressed their dismay and frustration, deeming the rapper 'obsessed' with the singer.

Taking to social media platforms, Swifties voiced their disappointment, with one fan stating, '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 every time he needs clout and attention.' Another disgruntled Swiftie questioned West's relevancy, remarking, '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.'
