- Feb 12, 2016
AceShowbiz - Kanye West took to Twitter on Friday morning, February 12 to address controversy regarding his new song "Famous", which includes offensive lyrics about Taylor Swift. Rumor has it, the "Bad Blood" hitmaker "declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message [and] was never made aware of the actual lyric."
Kanye debunked all those rumors in Twitter rants. "I did not diss Taylor Swift and I've never dissed her... First thing is I'm an artist and as an artist I will express how I feel with no censorship. 2nd thing I asked my wife for her blessings and she was cool with it," he explained.
"3rd thing I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings," Kim Kardashian's husband continued, "4th B***h is an endearing term in hip hop like the word N***a."
According to Kanye, Taylor was the one who came up with the idea of the lyrics. "5th thing I'm not even gone take credit for the idea... it's actually something Taylor came up with... She was having dinner with one of our friends who's name I will keep out of this and she told him, 'I can't be mad at Kanye because he made me famous!' #FACTS."
"6th Stop trying to demonize real artist Stop trying to compromise art. That's why music is so f***ing watered down right now I miss that DMX feeling. 7th I miss that feeling so that's what I want to help restore. 8th They want to control us with money and perception and mute the culture. but you can see at Madison Square Garden that you can stop us. 9th It felt like a seen from The Warriors ALL GODS ALL GODS ALL GODS in the building. not just the famous people there but the kids the moms the dads the families that came to share this moment with us."
Taylor hasn't commented on the issue yet.
