Remember when Kanye West sent Taylor Swift a huge cube of flowers to prove that they're pals after that infamous speech interruption at the VMAs back in 2009?
Pretty big deal.
They even shared a heartfelt moment at last year's VMAs as Taylor presented Kanye with his award. We can't remember what award it was but he gave a pretty good speechannouncing he was running for president in 2020?Remember? Yep, that one.
Anyway, things were all rosy between the pair until Kanye dropped a track on his studio album The Life Of Pablo called Famous earlier this year.
The lyrics feature a pretty obvious jibe at Taylor AND that bloody VMAs squabble that they had supposedly buried.: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that bitch famous / God damn / I made that bitch famous.”
Niiiiice.
Anyway, it all blew up between the pair again as Taylor INSISTED that she didn't have a clue about the track being released.
Her 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’.”
Kanye INSISTED she did. Gah.
Kanye's wife Kim Kardashian even got involved recently, stating in an interview with GQ that Taylor was basically lying about not being aware of the lyrics.
“She [Taylor] totally approved that,” Kim told the magazine.
“She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.”
Following Kim coming forward, Taylor's team posted another statement of denial about knowing anything about the song.
"Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since. Taylor has never denied that conversation took place.
"It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do. Kanye West never told Taylor he was going to use the term, 'that bitch' in referencing her. A song cannot be approved if it was never heard. Kanye West never played the song for Taylor Swift.
"Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated. Kim Kardashian's claim that Taylor and her team were aware of being recorded is not true, and Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone."
Today, a report has been published in The Sun stating that legal papers relating to the call made by Kanye do exist. Apparently the call had been RECORDED and Taylor's lawyers allegedly ordered the rapper to destroy them.
"Taylor got her lawyers to threaten Kanye and demanded that the recording was killed. They stressed the phone call was confidential and that publishing it would violate her rights.
"It validates that a taped conversation where Taylor was on board with the song does exist, and just shows how worried she is about the truth coming out."
Coz baby now we got bad bloooooood. Sorry we couldn't help ourselves.
