Taylor Swift Brutally Targeted By Star Rapper- Her Brother INSTANTLY Knew What To Do
In 2009, Kayne West attempted to upstag Taylor Swift‘s acceptance speech at the MTV VMA awards. Swift was receiving the VMA and making her acceptance speech when West mounted the stage, took a microphone and said, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m gonna let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time, one of the best videos of all time.” With those words, West showed himself to be, what some believed, less than a true gentlemen.
Now, 7 years later, West is again surrounded by controversy involving Swift. West recorded a new rap single called Famous. A few lines in the rap include references to Swift. “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bi__h famous,” the line reads.
Swift’s brother, Austin, took to social media to express his apparent disapproval with the song’s lyrics. In an Instagram video clip, Austin can be seen throwing out a pair of shoes. The caption below the clip reads, “Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again.” The shoes Austin threw away were West’s shoe brand called Yeezy, produced by Adidas.
According to Variety, Swift’s spokesman said, “Kanye did not call for approval but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’”
Responding to the controversy, West tweeted a series of responses:
I did not diss Taylor Swift and I’ve never dissed her…
