Controversial rapper and fashion designer Kanye West has once again made headlines as one of his songs chalked a milestone on Billboard.

The song, Carnival, a collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign, Playboi Carti, and Rich The Kid, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The achievement marked Kanye’s fifth No. 1 single and made him the first rapper to top the chart in three different decades.

However, the celebration was short-lived as Kanye West used this milestone to lash out at various perceived enemies.

In a since-deleted Instagram post on Monday, March 11, West expressed his gratitude to Rich, Ty, Carti and the supporters who stood by him through everything. He dedicated the No. 1 spot to them and the people the system won’t manipulate.

West didn’t stop there. He aimed at Adidas and everyone associated with the sportswear giant. He claimed that they tried to destroy him, yet here he is with the No. 1 song in the world. He also expressed his disdain for someone he encountered at the Ritz and everyone at the Daily Mail.

The fashion houses that sided with Gabby and Hailey Bieber also came under fire from Kanye West. He did not spare any so-called Christians, friends, or family members who watched him lose control of his kids.

West ended his message by shooting at his longtime rival and sometimes friend, Drake. He expressed his disappointment with Drake for recruiting Lil Durk, West’s Vultures collaborator, to join him on his “It’s All a Blur — Big as the What?” Tour. West is likely to come back with more additional people to call out.
