Kanye West appears to be on the receiving end of a subtle jab from Taylor Swift after her album, The Tortured Poets Department, reclaimed the top spot on the Billboard 200, preventing Kanye’s Vultures 2 from debuting at number one. Swift released a new digital version of her album with a track titled “thank You aimEe,” seemingly referencing Kanye by capitalizing the letters “Y” and “E.” This follows a previous version where the letters “KIM” were capitalized, hinting at Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardashian
Despite Vultures 2 earning 107,000 equivalent units in its first week, it fell short of Swift’s 142,000 units. This marks Kanye’s first album since his debut not to top the charts. The rivalry continues as Swift’s camp, including her producer Jack Antonoff, and the father of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, have expressed their discontent with Kanye’s recent actions and lyrics.
