The bad blood between West and Swift continues.

Kanye West reportedly named-dropped Taylor Swift in his brand new track “Carnival,” which was released as part of his highly-anticipated album “Vultures 1.”

“Why she say she sucked my d–k? / Then she say she ain’t sucked my d–k/ She gon’ take it up the a– / Like a ventriloquist / I made six Taylor Swift / Since I had the Rollie on the wrist,” West, 46, raps.  

West, who has a rocky past with Swift, also manages to drop several high-profile celebrity names including R. Kelly, Bill Cosby, Puff Daddy, and Elon Musk. 

“Elon, where my rocket ship? / It’s time to go home,” he raps. “They served us the porn (Ha) / Since the day we was born (Ha) / Anybody pissed off (Ha) / Gotta make ’em drink the urine (Ha) / Now I’m Ye-Kelly, b–ch (Ha) / Now, I’m Bill Cosby, b–ch (Ha) / Now, I’m Puff Daddy rich (Ha) / That’s #MeToo me rich (Ha),” West continues.

The Post reached out to Swift for comment.

West’s feud with the “Cruel Summer” singer began in 2009 when the “Donda” singer infamously hopped up on the MTV Video Music Awards stage during Swift’s acceptance speech for Best Female Music Video of the Year and declared that Beyonce “had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”

The duo’s relationship took a volatile turn in 2016 when West name-dropped Swift, 34, in his song “Famous.”

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b–ch famous,” sang the rapper.

West asserted that he didn’t mean to diss the “Blank Space” songstress adding that he and Swift “had a hourlong convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings.”  

Swift later refuted that West didn’t tell her about the “I made that b–tch famous” line.

To make matters worse, West’s then-wife Kim Kardashian, published part of the phone call between the pair discussing the song on her Snapchat account adding fuel to the already blazing inferno.

“When he gets on the phone with me, and I was so touched that he would be respectful and, like, tell me about this one line in the song… And I was like, ‘Okay, good. We’re back on good terms,’” the “You Belong With Me” songstress told Rolling Stone in 2019. “And then when I heard the song, I was like, ‘I’m done with this. If you want to be on bad terms, let’s be on bad terms, but just be real about it.’”

While the purpose of West’s lyrics is unknown, several social media users have taken to the internet with their own responses to the song with many of them claiming that West is using Swift to stay relevant.

“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,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) argued.

“Kanye West still unironically thinking he made Taylor Swift famous is so .. like 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,” a second person slammed.

“Kanye, is the only [person] who’s gonna mention Taylor Swift’s name in an attempt to get relevant again and perhaps a bit famous,” a third person wrote.”Just like when he begged to have her name in his song last time when he illegally recorded her call & his ex-wife edited it to paint TS as a liar.”
