Looks like Taylor Swift and Kanye West are never, ever getting back together. Just six months after two of the biggest names in music publicly put a long-running feud behind them, the 1989 pop star and the rapper have fallen out again over West’s claim in a new song that he made Swift famous.
The latest news has it that 38-year-old rapper has allegedly reignited his feud with pop-star Taylor Swfit, after spitting some scathing lyrics about her during the launch of Yeezy Season 3 at New York Fashion Week.
West, who launched both his new fashion collection and his new LP The Life of Pablo on February 12, delivered a vulgar verse about the Shake it Off hit-maker in front of a packed crowd of fashion folk.
In the seemingly misguided track entitled Famous, West rapped:
“For all my Southside n–gas who will know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why, I made that b*tch famous / God damn / I made that b*tch famous,”
According to the report, West personally called Swift to tell her about a lyric in his song.
Sources directly connected with Swift told TMZ that West called her to explain it was a joke and wanted to make sure she wouldn’t be upset.

The sources said Swift said she got the joke and gave him the thumbs up to release the song with the lyric.
During the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, West made headlines after interrupting Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech.
“Yo Taylor,” West said, grabbing the mic from Swift. “I’m really happy for you and Ima’ let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.”

After West’s more recent public diss, Swfit’s little brother voiced his opinion for the rapper via social media.
“Getting a head start on some spring cleaning. Here we go again,” Swift’s brother Austin captioned a video he posted on Instagram, where he’s seen throwing a pair of pricey Yeezy sneakers into the rubbish bin.
Despite Swift giving the lyrics the green light, apparently it’s her fans who are riled up by the lyrics.
