Kanye West categorically refuted claims that he contributed a verse to Bhad Bhabie's latest diss track targeting Alabama Barker, sharing a video on his Instagram Stories on Tuesday. "Yo, I'm steering clear of this AI drama," said the "Donda" rapper, his tone decisive. "Folks are slapping my voice onto tracks left and right, even the whole 'Carnival' sample business," he added, alluding to Bhabie's utilization of the beat from their 2024 collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.
The 47-year-old musician clarified that he had "recently spoken with" Alabama's father, Travis Barker, reassuring the Blink-182 percussionist that he "wouldn't dream of meddling" in her spat with Bhabie. "I'm in the dark about what's actually happening," admitted the Grammy award-winner before confirming his approval for Bhabie to use "Carnival." "Someone just sent me a track and asked for clearance. The only reason I grant these is because so many try to hinder my process. Clearances get blocked; it's been an uphill battle for me," he elaborated.
West wrapped up his message by emphasizing once more that the voice featured in the verse Bhabie (aka Danielle Bregoli) had teased online wasn't his. "Whenever anyone asks, I make sure to clarify. I clear things, sure, but I'm not cool with being roped into all this mess," he stressed. "Any verse going viral with my voice, it wasn't me."
Page Six reached out to Bhabie's representative for comment but received no immediate response.
Earlier on Monday, Bhabie, 21, unveiled the music video for her second diss track aimed at 19-year-old Alabama, titled "Mrs. Whitman." In the lyrics, the former "Dr. Phil" guest didn't spare Travis, 49, or Alabama's stepmother, Kourtney Kardashian. "Your stepmom's burnt out, why'd she settle for second-hand Kim?" Bhabie rhymed, referencing rumors that Travis had designs on Kourtney's sister Kim Kardashian before tying the knot.
Bhabie also tackled whispers about Alabama's strained relations with the Kardashian-Jenner clan, rapping, "That stanky attitude got you booted from the Kardashian mansion." Notably, a Travis doppelgänger was featured drumming in the music video.
As the video and song gained traction online, Bhabie went live on Instagram, sharing a snippet that seemingly featured West rapping over the track.
The animosity between Bhabie and Alabama ignited last December when the former accused the teenager of trying to poach her boyfriend, Le Vaughn. Alabama countered that Vaughn had been reaching out to her for over a year, professing his love.
In response, Bhabie unleashed her first diss track aimed at Alabama, "Over Cooked," accusing her of having an abortion allegedly fathered by rapper Tyga. Both Tyga, 35, and Alabama have vehemently denied these allegations.
Alabama struck back with her own diss track, "Cry Bhabie," where she accused Bhabie of drug abuse and claimed Vaughn was still reaching out to her.
