Kanye West is very well known for being the heart of controversies and always speaking his mind out.

He often rants about his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, the whole Kardashian family, and whenever something displeases him in general. He and Taylor Swift have been bitter enemies since the whole incident at MTV’s Video Music Awards in 2009.

Although there was a time in 2016 when it seemed like things might finally work out between the two but they ended up even worse after Ye released his song Famous.

The 2016 drama between Kanye West and Taylor Swift over the lyrics of the song Famous

Kanye West released his song Famous in 2016. The song contained a line about the American singer Taylor Swift that made her fans mad after the song came out. The lyrics said, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have s*x. Why? I made that bi**h famous.” The line was obviously derogatory to the Blank Space singer and her fans and representatives spoke out for her.

Ye sang a demeaning line in his song about Taylor Swift

Ye West said that he had received Swift’s approval before releasing the song.

Taylor Swift mentioned that she had just approved posting the song on her Twitter Account

The representatives of the American singer came out with a statement that she did not know about all the lyrics. The statement said, “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account.” It was mentioned that Swift even warned Ye of using such “misogynistic comments” in the song. The statement further mentioned that she was not aware of the last part of the lyrics, especially of the part that called her a “bi**h“.

Taylor Swift’s reps issued a statement against the approval of the lyrics.

In 2016, Ye and Kim Kardashian released snippets of a recorded conversation. The recording showed that Taylor Swift intentionally or unintentionally actually did agree to the lyrics. A full-length recording of the actual conversation came out in 2020 that showed that Taylor Swift was telling the truth while Ye and Kim Kardashian were lying all the time.
