Bhad Bhabie's credibility as a musician has never been higher. The social media presence blow fans away when she dropped the diss song "Ms. Whitman" against Alabama Barker. Not only because the rhymes were solid, but because she teased a remix with Kanye West. Fans were baffled by how Bhad Bhabie managed to get a look from Ye. Well, the rapper hopped on a DDG stream Tuesday and noted that it the verse fans heard was not intended for release.
Bhad Bhabie told DDG that the AI verse was actually not her idea. Rather, she placed the blame on her team. She alleged the plan was to get a real West verse, and AI was simply 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." The rapper felt the need to explain what happened after the backlash from the AI verse. Kanye West even took to IG in an effort to clarify his role (or lack thereof) in the song.
West made it crystal clear, via IG, that he's not involved in either side of the Bhabie and Alabama Barker feud. He also told the fans to ignore any verses that appear online without his approval. "I just talked to Travis Barker," the rapper asserted. "I'm not cool with being put in the middle of all this. Any verse, going viral, using my voice and all that, it's like: I didn't do it." Kanye West did, however, clear the sample for his song "Carnival" on Bhad Bhabie's diss. And the rapper credits West's wife, Bianca Censori, with getting it approved so quickly.
"I reached out to Bianca," Bhad Bhabie explained. "I sent it to her and she was like, 'That's fire.'" The rapper claimed that Censori asked for 24 hours to see what could be done about getting the sample cleared. Then, ten minutes later, she had an answer. "Ten minutes later she texted me like 'cleared it,'" Bhabie recalled. Kanye West previously addressed the confusion surrounding the "Ms. Whitman" diss. He confirmed that he cleared the sample because other artists have given him such a hard time clearing samples in the past.

Panic! At The Disco are preparing to release a special deluxe anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
The I Write Sins Not Tragedies icons marked the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2005 debut album during their performance at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas over the weekend, and have now confirmed the new edition.
On January 23, the group — originally formed by Brendon Urie, Spencer Smith, Ryan Ross and Brent Wilson — will unveil a limited edition box set that features a remastered version of the record.
The package, priced at £164.99 and available for pre-order, includes 11 unreleased demos and a vinyl pressing of 2006’s Live In Denver. The full live set has also been uploaded to YouTube.
On the band’s UK store, they shared a message:
“To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Panic! At The Disco’s seminal debut album, this limited edition box set brings together a comprehensive time capsule celebrating the record's impact.
This release includes the original album remastered for the first time ever, 11 unreleased demos, plus the legendary 2006 Live In Denver performance — never before released on vinyl or CD.
The box set also includes a 12-page zine with never before seen photos from the era, a sticker set, a door hanger, and a paper doll set.”
By 2023, the band had essentially become a solo project for Urie. Their final show was held in Manchester, UK, where the frontman said: “Sometimes a journey must end for a new one to begin.
“We’ve been trying to keep it to ourselves, though some of you may have heard… Sarah and I are expecting a baby very soon!
The prospect of being a father and getting to watch my wife become a mother is both humbling and exciting. I look forward to this next adventure.”
Panic! returned to the stage at WWWY over the weekend, performing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out in full alongside fan favorites like This Is Gospel and Nine in the Afternoon.
To end the night, they performed I Write Sins Not Tragedies once again, as Smith reunited with Urie for the emotional closing moment.
