ICYMI: Kanye drops new song, Pardi responds to Megan Thee Stallion and more

Kanye “Ye” West made his return to music with the release of “Vultures” featuring Lil Durk and Ty Dolla $ign. On the new track, which reportedly debuted on a radio station in Ye’s hometown of Chicago, he addresses the antisemitic remarks he made in 2022 that resulted in the end of many brand partnerships. “How I’m antisemitic? I just f***** a Jewish b****,” he raps. Online sources report the song might appear on an upcoming Kanye x Ty Dolla $ign joint album.

Megan Thee Stallion‘s former partner Pardi released a rap diss track-of-sorts addressing claims he cheated on the “Savage” rapper. It’s an apparent response to Megan’s latest song, “Cobra,” on which she points to infidelity in their relationship: “Pulled up, caught him cheatin,” Megan says. In “Thee Person,” Pardi says he didn’t plan to speak on the break up but chose to do so after Megan “made it a mess.”
