In the latest twist of the ongoing feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift, a new track has emerged. It has drawn a fiery response from Travis Kelce’s father, Ed Kelce.

The drama unfolded after West’s collaborator Lil Wayne dropped a reference to Swift and Kelce in their new song, Lifestyle, according to Daily Mail.
This song is featured on West’s album Vultures 2.
The line in question, “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,” caught the attention of Ed Kelce. He took to social media to voice his discontent.

The lyrical reference is not just a casual mention. It is a notable inclusion in a song that intertwines the lives of two high-profile celebrities.
THE FEUD BETWEEN KANYE WEST AND TAYLOR SWIFT
Lil Wayne’s verse, which subtly links Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, has sparked a new wave of discussion.
This is particularly significant given the long-standing history between West and Swift, according to TMZ.

He claimed that the award for Best Female Video should have gone to Beyoncé. This statement ignited a public feud that has endured for over a decade.
The incident marked the start of a turbulent relationship between the rapper and the pop star.
The tension was further fuelled by West’s 2016 track, Famous, in which he controversially rapped, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have s*x / I made that b**tch famous.”
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL BLOW ON TAYLOR
This lyric caused significant backlash from Swift and her fans, according to Hot New Hip Hop.
Swift responded by expressing how the song affected her emotionally, describing it as a psychological blow that drove her to isolation.
Swift’s reaction to the track included moving to a new country and withdrawing from many of her personal relationships.
PERSON OF THE YEAR INTERVIEW
During her 2023 Person of the Year interview with Time, Swift revealed, “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.
I moved to a foreign country, didn’t leave a rental house for a year.
I was afraid to get on phone calls, and pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore.”
KIM KARDASHIAN STEPS IN
Kim Kardashian, West’s former wife, also involved herself in the saga.
She defended her then-husband Kanye West by releasing a video of a supposed phone conversation between West and Swift.
However, investigators later revealed that someone had edited the video to support West’s narrative.
