Even if Brandon Marshall’s version of Taylor Swift and Kanye West’s Super Bowl interaction didn’t pan out exactly as he initially described, Ye and Swift have never been in less danger of letting bygones be bygone than this moment Although Ye and Swift attempted to mend fences after their infamous 2009 MTV VMAs encounter, all of that healing went out of the window in 2016 as Swift claimed Ye and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian blindsided her by calling her a “b***h” in his song “Famous.” Unfortunately, Swift was still harboring resentment about the ordeal in November 2023, as she compared the fallout of the feud to a “career death” to Time.
Ye launched another jab at Swift right before the Super Bowl when he name-dropped her in his new song with Ty Dolla Sign called “Carnival.” While Ye didn’t directly insult Swift on the track, he name-dropped her at the end of a rather explicit and unflattering verse. “Why she say she sucked my d*** / Then she say she ain’t sucked my d*** / She gon’ take it up the a** like a ventriloquist / I made six Taylor Swift since I had the Rollie on the wrist,” Ye raps. Fans also took issue with the fact that Ye mentioned Swift in a song that also made referenced to many controversial figures, including Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Elon Musk, and Diddy.
