Throughout his career, the 'Life of Pablo' rapper has been in a war with other famous names, such as Drake, Taylor Swift and Jay-Z.

AceShowbiz - As mentioned in the previous story, Kanye started the beef with the former country singer after he interrupted Taylor's award acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards in favor of Beyonce. "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" he said at the time. That intervention allegedly caused 19-year-old Taylor to leave the stage in tears.
A year later, Kanye apologized on Twitter to Tay, adding that he had a song for her before deleting his account. Just a few days later, Tay debuted her song titled "Innoncence" at the 2010 VMAs in which she dissed Kanye with her lyrics that read, "Thirty two and still growin' up now/ Who you are is not what you did/ You're still an innocent." That seemingly enraged Kanye, who un-apologized to her in a 2013 interview with the New York Times newspaper.
In 2015, they sparked speculation that they had buried the hatchet as they looked pretty much friendly with each other at that year's VMAs. The happy time didn't last long as the two were involved in another feud after Kanye released his infamous song "Famous" that featured him name-dropping the songstress.
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b***h famous," Kanye rhymed in the song. As he received backlash for that particular part, Kanye defended himself by saying that Tay "gave her blessing" during their "hour-long" convo on the phone.
But Tay's representative sang a different tune, claiming that the "Blank Space" singer was unaware about the b***h line and had "cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message."
Taylor addressed the issue at the 2016 Grammy Awards where she snagged the trophy for Album of the Year. "There are going to be people along the way who try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame -- but if you just focus on the work and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you're going, you'll look around and you will know that it was you, and the people who love you, who put you there -- and that will be the greatest feeling in the world," she said in her speech.
That was when Kanye's wife Kim got herself into the beef. In addition to insisting that the "Shake It Off" singer "totally approved" "Famous", she tweeted a post including a slew of snake emojis after dropping the footage of the alleged phone call between her husband and Tay, who later accused the husband and wife of "character assassination."
Last year, Tay epically responded to Kim's alluding her as "snake" by making snakes as the mascot of her promotion for her sixth studio album "Reputation".
