Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift feud back on?

Suddenly, fans are getting a throwback to VMAs in 2009 as Kanye West re-ignited his feud with Taylor Swift again.

On Friday, Kanye West took to Twitter to post the tracklist to his new album entitled, "The Life of Pablo" or simply, "T.L.O.P."

According to the New York Times, one of the tracks entitled "Famous" contained the following rap lines, mentioning the "Bad Blood" singer: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why?/ I made that b*tch famous."

After being criticized for the said lines, Kanye West claimed that he had permission from Taylor Swift to release the song.

"I did not diss Taylor Swift and I've never dissed her," Yeezy wrote on his Twitter account. "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 added, referring to Kim Kardashian West. "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."

However, Kanye West's claims was debunked by Taylor Swift's rep, who issued a statement to BuzzFeed News.

"Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single "Famous" on her Twitter account," the statement read. "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 b*tch famous.'"

Meanwhile, fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts of the newly-revived Kanye West vs. Taylor Swift feud.

"He may be idolised by millions, however #KanyeWest will always be a childish arsehole with no respect & undoubtly jealous of Taylor #Swift," a fan wrote.


"An arrogant, egotistical, ignorant, misogynistic, delusional bully. It's sad really. #KanyeWest #TaylorSwift," said another Twitter user.

"As if I needed more reasons to think #KanyeWest is a gigantic douchebag," wrote another fan.


Kanye West's controversial "Famous" lyrics off his new album, "T.L.O.P." is the second time he's taken a dig at Taylor Swift. Back in 2009, the rapper stole the "Bad Blood" singer's moment on stage after she won an MTV VMA trophy, beating out Beyoncé.
