What happens when a diss track, a viral feud, and a Kanye West song collide? Drama, of course! Bhad Bhabie and Alabama Barker are in a beef. It involves a savage diss track that samples Kanye's "Carnival." Kanye has made it clear he wants no part of the drama.

Bhad Bhabie and Alabama Barker? Yeah, they aren't besties right now. The reasons behind their feud? They're a bit tangled. It seems there's a mix of social media shade and some personal stuff. It's enough to spark a full-blown online battle.

Bhad Bhabie didn't hold back! Her diss track hits hard. The lyrics are direct, aiming right at Alabama. It seems she's really trying to land a KO. It’s a wild mix of insults and boasts. Some lines are super personal. You can't miss the sting. Diss tracks are supposed to stir the pot. This one brought the heat.

Here's where things get interesting. Bhad Bhabie used a sample from Kanye West's "Carnival." Why this song? It could be the beat. The aggressive vibe of "Carnival" adds fuel to the fire. Kanye's music has a certain power. Using it amps up the diss track. It's unexpected. It's also a bit risky. Getting clearance for samples can be tricky.

Kanye West wants no part of this drama! He’s making that crystal clear. Kanye has distanced himself. His focus? It's likely on his own projects and image. He doesn't need to wade into a social media war. His silence speaks volumes.

The rapper made it clear where he stands. “I’m not in the middle of none of this AI beef,” the 47-year-old said on his Instagram Stories Feb. 25, “people throwing my voice on things, the whole ‘Carnival’ sample.”

No statement from Kanye's team has dropped. That's pretty telling. Often, celebs use their reps to comment on controversies. The lack of a statement? It means Kanye's camp wants to stay away. Smart move on their part.

To rewind, the months-long feud started when Bhad Bhabie who gained popularity after her 2016 appearance on Dr. Phil went viral—accused Alabama of stealing her boyfriend Le Vaughn, with whom she shares 11-month-old daughter Kali Love as well as sleeping with both Tyga and Soulja Boy in her January diss track “Over Cooked.”

And shortly after, Alabama daughter of Travis Baker and ex Shanna Moakler and stepdaughter to Kourtney Kardashian fired back with a merciless diss track of her own called “Cry Bhabie.”

Why would Kanye avoid this feud? Think about it. He's had his share of controversies. Jumping into this one gains him nothing. It risks more bad press. Kanye's brand is already complex. He probably wants to avoid adding fuel to the fire.

Alabama Barker really didn't stay silent. Her response to Bhad Bhabie's track. Added even more heat to the feud. The back and forth keeps escalating things. It's a classic social media battle.

Ye who insisted that he was unaware any of this was happening. And after Bhad Bhabie went as far as including a lookalike of the Blink-182 drummer in her music video, the “I Wonder” rapper spoke to Travis directly about the misunderstanding.

“I just talked to Travis Barker,” he noted in his Instagram Story. “I would never be in the middle, I don’t even know what’s going on.”

The “Heartless” rapper went on to clarify that he only cleared the sample because it “has been very difficult” when “so many people try to stop” him from doing so in the past. Adding that he always clears samples when anybody asks, he expressed his disapproval of how the sample was used this time around.

“I’m not cool with being put in the middle of all of this at all,” he continued, “so any verse that be going viral using my voice or any of that, it’s like—I didn’t do it.”

Social media is buzzing! Everyone has an opinion on this feud. Some side with Bhad Bhabie. Others are on Team Alabama. Kanye's sample? That's a whole other debate. People are wondering if he truly knew about it. Many feel he should speak up.

In addition to Kanye’s sample, Bhad Bhabie’s song also includes a nod to Alabama’s relationship with the Kardashian family.

“That skanky p---y got you kicked out the Kardashian house,” the lyrics read. And in case there was any confusion regarding who the song was about, Bhad Bhabie didn’t hesitate to mention names. “Damn, Alabama. You a tramp, Alabama. You really dumb enough to think I'll tell you anything, you dumb, dirty ho? I wouldn't tell you what color socks I got on.”

What about Travis Barker? He hasn't commented directly. But you know he's watching out for his daughter. Family support matters in these situations. It's unclear if he'll step in. Sometimes a parent's involvement can make things worse.

How does this feud affect Kanye's "Carnival?" It's a mixed bag. The song gets more attention. But it's tied to a messy situation. Does it tarnish the song's vibe? Maybe.

Does controversy boost streams? It can happen! Some people might check out "Carnival" just because of the drama. But is that the kind of attention Kanye wants? It's debatable. Any publicity is good publicity? Not always!

Sampling is a tricky game. Legally, you need permission. Ethically, it's about respect. Bhad Bhabie used "Carnival." Did she get the green light? If not, it could lead to legal problems. Sampling without permission? It's a no-go.

This feud teaches us a few things. Celebrity drama is always a hot topic. Social media amplifies everything. Music often becomes part of the story.

How can you handle online drama? Think before you post! Don't get pulled into pointless arguments. Know when to step away. Protecting your mental health is key.

Diss tracks have a long history. They're a way to vent. They can also boost a rapper's profile. But they come with risks. Escalating feuds can have real-world consequences.

Kanye West wants no part of the Bhad Bhabie and Alabama Barker clash. The use of "Carnival" in the diss track threw him into the mix. But he's staying out. This situation highlights the wild world of celebrity feuds, social media, and the art of sampling. It's a reminder that online drama is always evolving.
