Kanye West has spoken out after finding himself dragged into a bizarre online battle between Bhad Bhabie and Alabama Barker.

The pair have been battling on TikTok for the last few months, after Bhad Bhabie – real name Danielle Bregoli – accused Travis Barker’s daughter of stealing her boyfriend, something the 19-year-old denied.

This led to weeks of them trading diss tracks, with the 21-year-old dropping Ms Whitman on Tuesday, naming Travis and the Kardashians, while being set to Ye’s song, Carnival.

Following the release, she publicly thanked him, and Bianca Censori, on her Instagram story.

Taking to his own page, the I Wonder rapper, 47, insisted that he would never be ‘in the middle’ of any drama between them.

‘I’m not in the middle of none of this, AI beef, people throwing my voice on things, the whole Carnival sample…,’ he vowed.

‘I just talked to Travis Barker – I would never be in the middle, I don’t even know what’s going on.’

Clarifying how he found himself involved in the drama, Ye explained: ‘I just got sent a song and asked if I could clear the sample.

‘The only reason why I clear anything is because so many people try to stop me, they stop clearances, everything. It’s been very difficult for me. So, anybody asks me for anything, I always clear it.

‘But I’m not cool with being put in the middle of all of this, at all. Any verse going viral using my voice, I didn’t do it.’

The online feud first started in December when Bhabie accused Alabama of stealing her partner, Le Vaughn – who she shares a daughter with.

Alabama denied the allegations, and they began swapping barbs on a string of TikTok videos and songs, including Over Cooked and Cry Bhabie.

Things took a turn when the mom-of-one released Ms Whitman this week – the title refers to Patricia Arquette’s True Romance character, Alabama Whitman, who Travis named his daughter after.

In the video, she also danced on a lookalike of the Blink-182 drummer, while alleging in the lyrics that he married Kourtney Kardashian despite being in love with her sister.

She claimed that her rival wasn’t close to the famous family.
