WATCH: Kanye West Disses Taylor Swift In New Song - Taylor’s Brother Reacts
Kanye West’s Yeezy Season Three debut last night was perhaps the most dramatic and exciting show that New York Fashion Week will ever see.
Even though the multitude of models weren’t allowed to even, erm, move, Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, and her famous family were there to support the star and ensure copious newspaper headlines.
However, the biggest scandal wasn’t Kim’s new blonde hairdo, or even Lamar Odom’s first public appearance since he was hospitalized, but the first play of Kanye’s much-anticipated new album: ‘Life Of Pablo’.
Dropping his new track ‘Famous’, Kanye sent shockwaves as he appeared to lash out at Taylor Swift, who he’d seemingly become good friends with after he interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMAs back in 2009.
Rapping in the song, Kanye says: “I feel like me and Taylor Swift might still have sex, I made that b*tch famous.”
It was then reported that Kanye had even called the 26-year-old singer to ask her to promote the song, with Taylor’s rep telling Billboard: “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.’”
Despite sources claiming that Kanye had previously warned Taylor that the lyrics are a joke, her friends and family have obviously been left less than impressed by the jibe - with the star’s younger brother, Austin, taking to Instagram to hit back at the rapper.
Posting a video alongside the caption: “Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again.”, Austin can be seen getting his Yeezy trainers and throwing them in the bin.
Has round two of Kanye Vs. Taylor well and truly begun?
