Kanye West Called Out By Travis Kelce’s Dad Over Taylor Swift Lyrics
Kanye West has been referred to as out by NFL participant Travis Kelce‘s dad, over Vultures 2bars aimed at Taylor Swift, the younger Kelce’s girlfriend.
Ed Kelce allegedly took to Facebook on Thursday (August 8), and expressed his frustration with visitor Lil Wayne‘s lyric on the track from West and Ty Dolla $ign, called “Lifestyle.”
On the song, Weezy raps: “Ice up in my veins, old flames tryna melt me / I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.”
Kelce took to his alleged Facebook profile to share a Daily Mail article about West’s track, and wrote: “Mental illness on full display.”

Ed Kelce’s shot at Ye isn’t the one drama surrounding Vultures 2 lately.
Earlier this week, West claimed that his and Ty Dolla $ign‘s Vultures albums are being held hostage by Atlantic Records and may be taken down from streaming services.
Kanye shared screenshots of a text message from his manager John Monopoly, who appeared to suggest that Atlantic wanted renumeration from the projects as Ty is signed to their label.
In the message, Monopolo wrote to Ye: “Co-head of Atlantic Julie Greenwald just called me. She just got fired. She said the new head is not going to give us a grace period to handle Atlantic’s compensation.
“She prompt that I let Too Lost and Create know that 40% of all income from V1 and V2 must be paid to Atlantic. She’s saying that if we don’t deal with instantly Atlantic will difficulty take downs for each albums. Pls advise.”
“This is what ‘they’ do to independent artists,” Kanye wrote over the screenshot on his Instagram Stories, though he didn’t share his reply to Monopoly’s message.
The Chicago rap legend then publicly requested who the brand new head of Atlantic is. It was introduced earlier this week that Elliot Grainge, the son of Universal Music Group boss Lucian and founding father of 10K Projects, will likely be taking on on the document firm.
Although Vultures and Vultures 2 have been each launched independently by way of Kanye’s YZY imprint, Ty Dolla $ign is signed to Atlantic as a solo artist, which means they’ve rights to his work.
As Audiomack co-founder Brian Zisook pointed out on X, “A record agreement gives the label permission to exploit their music — exclusively –during the full term. Atlantic hasn’t seen a dime from the albums… so of course they want to be paid.”
