Looks like Kanye West and Taylor Swift have bad blood brewing again. It’s barely been a year since they officially made up at the 2015 Grammy Awards but Kanye West has ignited a new war of words with Taylor Swift, who was not amused with his ‘misogynistic‘ new lyrics.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s Feud Is Back On Track Over Sex Lyric
“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. / Why? I made that b***h famous.”
All was seemingly peaceful on the Swift-West front, until Thursday afternoon. Kanye West debuted his new album, “The Life of Pablo,” at his very large, arguably self-aggrandizing, “Yeezy Season 3” spectacle/fashion show at a sold-out Madison Square Garden.
On the track “Famous”, West, 38, rapped about bedding Swift, 26, and making her a star.
“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. / Why? I made that b***h famous.”
Unhappy with the rhymes, Swift’s 23-year-old brother, Austin Swift, took to Instagram hours after the show and posted a video in which he dumps his Yeezy 350 kicks in the trash.
“Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again,” the younger Swift scribed.
In the time since the song’s debut — the album has not been released to the public yet, a tangled he-said / she-said has ensued online. Swift’s reps verified that the exchange never took place. Late Thursday, Swift’s publicist issued a statement, stating that “Kanye did not call for approval,” nor was Swift aware of the lyric “I made that b***h famous.” The spokesperson also called the song, “Famous,” misogynistic. West, however, took to Twitter Friday morning in an attempt to quell the dispute.
