Kanye West has distanced himself from the Bhad Bhabie and Alabama Barker beef after talking to Travis Barker.
Earlier this year, Bhabie (real name Danielle Bregoli) went on a social media tirade accusing Barker of trying to steal her baby’s father, Le Vaughn, from her – which the 19-year-old continues to deny.
Bregoli then released ‘Over Cooked’ – in which she insinuated that Alabama had “fucked and got pregnant” by two people, later confirming that she was referring to Soulja Boy and Tyga in an Instagram livestream. Soulja Boy later took to Instagram Live to threaten to sue Bhabie and “take that OnlyFans money”.
Alabama then dropped a music video to her response with ‘Cry Bhabie’, in which she addressed claims that she had slept with rapper Tyga, name-checking the ‘Taste’ rapper before alluding that the ‘Cash Me Outside’ star was on pills when she made the claim: “The pills got you higher / Turned you to a liar / You must be TMZ / Bitch, don’t make me call a Tyga.”
Yesterday (February 25), Bhabie released another diss titled ‘Ms. Whitman’, which sampled West’s Grammy-nominated track ‘Carnival’ and referenced Barker’s father, Blink 182 drummer Travis, as well as the Kardashians.
The video to the track, which features a Travis lookalike playing the drums as she twerks around him, sees her name-check his wife Kourtney Kardashian: “Your stepmom burnt out, why she took her sister’s second-hand? (Wow) / I know your route, you’re reaching out, you need my name for clout.”
After sharing the track, clips seemingly featuring West rapping over a verse emerged on social media, although the rapper has since denied it. Taking to Instagram stories yesterday (February 25), West insisted that he would never be “in the middle” of any feud between the two.
“I’m not in the middle of none of this, AI beef, people throwing my voice on things, the whole Carnival sample,” he said. “I just talked to Travis Barker, I would never be in the middle. I don’t even know what’s going on. I just got sent a song and asked if I could clear the sample.”
The controversial rapper added that he only cleared the instrumental sample because “so many people try to stop me, they stop clearances.”
Bregoli took to X/Twitter to explain the title of her latest diss was a nod to Alabama Whitman, the main character in Quentin Tarantino‘s True Romance, who she was actually named after. She shared a description of the character as being a “self-confident ex-prostitute who dreams of a better life”, and went on to post: “You broke the girl code , so when it’s war I ain’t neva known it to be rules.”
In other news, Bregoli revealed that she has been diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment. There has been no confirmation as to what type of cancer she has.
Kanye, meanwhile, has come under fire for selling a white T-shirt with a large swastika emblem on the chest, listed as “HH-01” on his website, a move that followed a string of highly controversial posts which saw him rescind his apology to the Jewish community for his past anti-Semitic remarks, and go on to declare himself “a Nazi”.
