AceShowbiz - Kanye West appeared to have tried to tell people about Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' crimes prior to the latter's arrest. The "All of the Lights" rapper seemingly hints at the record producer's unlawful acts on his song titled "Carnival".
On the song, the 47-year-old hip-hop artist raps, "Now I'm Ye-Kelly, b***h, now, I'm Bill Cosby, b***h/ Now, I'm Puff Daddy rich that's 'Me Too' me rich/ Why she say she sucked my d**k?/ Then she say she ain't sucked my d**k/ She gon' take it up the a**, like a ventriloquist."
Kanye, who is also famous as Ye, put Diddy in the same category as R. Kelly and Bill Cosby, the two famous figures who faced similar legal problems to that of Puff Daddy. R. Kelly was sentenced to over 30 years in prison in 2022 after being found guilty of some crimes, including sex trafficking, child pornography and kidnapping. Meanwhile, Bill Cosby was convicted of sexual assault in 2018.
Ye joined forces with fellow spitters Ty Dolla $ign and Rich the Kid to create "Carnival". The collaborative track, which was released on February 15, also features Playboi Carti. The song serves as the third single from Ye and Ty's joint record titled "Vultures 1".
A number of social media users noticed the cryptic lyrics. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one in particular wrote, "Kanye West mentioned R Kelly, Bill Cosby and Diddy on Carnival, guess what they all have in common."
Similarly, another argued, "Look up the lyrics to carnival . Kanye knew what diddy was up to." A third chimed in, "All the rappers that were s**tting on Diddy seem to be correct. I knew it was bad when Kanye name dropped him with Cosby and R Kelly on Carnival."
Diddy was arrested on September 16. The three-time Grammy Award winner was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution.
