Kanye West Claims His Offensive Lyrics About Taylor Swift Were Her Idea in His Latest Twitter Rant

Feb 12 2016 - 7:37am

It looks like Kanye West [1] and Taylor Swift [2]'s former feud [3] might be back on. During Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 event [4], he debuted not only his third clothing collection [5] but also his new album, The Life of Pablo, which contained a song with some offensive lyrics about Taylor Swift. In a song titled "Famous," Kanye reportedly raps, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that b*tch famous," which immediately had fans and friends of Taylor lashing out at the rapper. Her brother, Austin, had a heroic response [6] to the news, and friends Gigi Hadid and Jaime King also tweeted out [7] their feelings [8] on the subject.

Kanye, never one to take criticism lying down [9], has published some tweets of his own [10], which not only claim that wife Kim Kardashian [11] gave him the OK to write the graphic lyrics, but that the whole thing was Taylor's idea to begin with. "I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line," he wrote. "She thought it was funny and gave her blessings." The "Out of the Woods" singer [12] has yet to fire off a response of her own, but her spokesperson has already denied [13] Taylor's knowledge of the lyric. Take a look at Kanye's entire diatribe ahead.
