Twitter users are attacking American rapper, Kanye West, for making some wild comments about singer, Taylor Swift, in his song ‘Famous’ off his newly released seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo.
Kanye had misguidedly rapped on the track, “For all my Southside n–gas who will know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that b***h famous / God damn / I made that b***h famous.”
The 35-year-old through the lyrics was referencing back to the 2009 drama at the MTV Video Music Awards where he interrupted Taylor’s Female Video of the Year acceptance speech saying Beyoncé deserved to win the award.
Kanye and Taylor however settled all grievances when the latter presented West with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.
Celebrities and the famous ‘Taylor Squad’ consisting of the likes of Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Gigi Hadid and Jamie King have already pledged their support for her.
Remarkably, Taylor’s brother, Austin, also posted a video on Instagram in which he’s pointedly throwing a pair of Yeezy sneakers in the trash, putting Kanye on notice.
Fans are also blasting Kanye, saying he never made Taylor famous and should never have made that statement.
Below are some hate tweets directed at Kanye.
Kanye West keep giving me more reasons to dislike him… Why does he keep using Taylor Swift as a tiny means of “Shine” ????
