On Tuesday (Feb 25) the rapper posted a video to IG denying any involvement in the song apart from clearing the sample.
“Yo, I’m not in the middle of none of this AI beef, people throwing my voice on things, the whole ‘Carnival’ sample,” he said. “I just talked to Travis Barker, I would never be in the middle — I don’t even know what’s going on. I just got sent a song and asked if I could clear the sample.
“But I’m not cool with being put in the middle of all this at all. So any verse that’s going viral using my voice, I didn’t do it.”
Bhabie Got Kanye’s Wife to Clear the Sample
Bhabie teased her now viral diss “Ms. Whitman” after she and Barker’s recent month long feud. The track samples West’s chart-topping hit “Carnival.”
During her appearance on rapper DDG’s Taco Tuesday stream, Bhad Bhabie credited Kanye’s wife, Bianca Censori, for making it happen faster than she expected.
“Kanye cleared it,” Bhabie said at first. “I reached out to Bianca, and I sent it to her, and she was like, ‘That’s fire.’ She was like, ‘Let me talk to him,’ and then she was like, ‘Give me 24 hours.’”
“Ten minutes later she texted me like ‘cleared it,'” Bhabie recalled.
Bhad Bhabie said the AI verse was actually not her idea and that she planned to get a real West verse. She alleged that AI was used to simulate what said verse would sound.
“They made an AI version of how it would sound, him on it,” she explained. “Then someone on my team went live in the middle of the night and played the AI verse.”
