The seeming deterioration of Ye West continues unabated.
The controversial rapper performed the new single “Carnival” at the United Center in Chicago with collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, and he had some interesting things to say about his disgraced contemporaries R. Kelly, Bill Cosby and Diddy.
The listening party for the album Vultures Volume 1 happened amid West’s rant on social media that he has had trouble booking gigs due to his bizarre behavior and antisemitic diatribes in the past.
“This that Game of Thrones, Yeezy not the clones,” Ye raps. “Elon, where my rocket ship, it’s time to go home/They served us the corn since the day we was born/Anybody p—– off, gotta make them drink the urine/Now, I’m Ye Kelly, b—-/Now I’m Bill Cosby, b—-/Now I’m Puff Daddy rich.”

His verse on the song (which features Playboy Carti and Rich the Kid) also evokes Taylor Swift.
West, of course, notoriously snatched the mic away from Swift at the 2009 MTV Awards when Ye believed that Beyoncé was the more deserving winner.
“That’s ‘Me Too’ me rich/First she say she suck my d—/Then, she say she ain’t suck my d—/She ’gon take it up the a– like a ventriloquist/I mean, since Taylor Swift, since I had the Rollie on the wrist/I’m the new Jesus, b—-, I turn water into Cris’/This for what they did to Chris/They can’t do s— with this,” Ye raps.
West performed the cuts in his now customary all-black attire, replete with white hockey maskresembling the one worn by Friday the 13th villain Jason Voorhees.
The Vultures Volume 1 album was supposed to be released on Feb. 9, the same day he held another listening party in New York, but the project has yet to materialize, according to XXL.
