Kanye West has always insisted Taylor Swift was well aware of his controversial lyrics in his song Famous, while she vehemently denies he told her about it.
And now, supportive wife Kim Kardashian has unveiled a series of Snapchats which purport to show Yeezy getting his infamous line “I feel like me and Taylor might have sex,” approved by the 26-year-old.
However the recorded conversations do not show Kanye getting the line “I made that b—- famous” cleared.
Taylor can be heard to reflect on the moment Kanye West interrupted her her 2009 VMA’s speech, “You’ve got to tell the story the way that it happened to you and the way that you experienced it. You honestly didn’t know who I was before that.”
In the damning footage, the father-of-two politely chats to Taylor about Famous from his latest album, The Life Of Pablo.
“I’m like this close to overexposure,” a voice sounding a lot like Taylor can be heard to say after he reads out the now infamous line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.”
“I think this is a really cool thing to have,” the rapper tells Taylor about being mentioned in the track.
“I know, I mean it’s like a compliment,” the Bad Blood singer responds.
Kanye then goes on to explain her feelings are very much at the front of his mind.
“What I give a f— about is you as a person and as a friend. I want things that make you feel good. I don’t want to do rap that makes people feel bad,” the 39-year-old vouches.
“Yeah, go with whatever line feels better. It’s obviously very tongue in cheek either way. I really appreciate you telling me about it, that’s really nice,” the blonde beauty concedes.
“I just have a responsibility to you as a friend. Thanks for being so cool about it,” Kim Kardashian’s other half adds.
Taylor adds, ”I really appreciate it. The heads up is so nice… I never would have expected you to tell me about a line in a lyric. And the flowers that you sent me, I Instagrammed a picture of them and it’s the most Instagram likes I’ve ever gotten.”
“Relationships are more important than punchlines, you know,” a softly spoken Kanye muses.
“Yeah, I mean, I don’t think anybody would listen to that and be like, ‘Oh that’s a real bit. She must be crying,'” she can be heard to say.
A furious Taylor quickly took to Instagram to respond to the videos (above).
“Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened. You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called ‘that bitch’ in front of the entire world,” she penned.
“Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard.”
“Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009.”
Her post was accompanied with the caption, “That moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call, then Kim posts it on the Internet.”
Kim’s Snapchats aren’t the only dig she’s made at Taylor! Earlier on Sunday evening, the mother-of-two tweeted a rather pointed post which seemed to be aimed at the Shake It Off hitmaker.
“Wait it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!? They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!” Kim penned alongside a plethora of snake emojis.
Last week, Taylor was bombarded on social media with snake emojis after her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris claimed she went out of her way “to try and make me look bad” in their wake of their messy split.
Kim and Kayne have always insisted there was video evidence of Yeezy’s conversation with Taylor over the Famous track.
This installment is just the latest twist in the Famous fallout.
In June, Kim told GQ Magazine that Swifty had “totally approved” her husband’s song.
“She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t,” the reality star explained to the publication.
Taylor was quick to respond with her own statement, which read: “Taylor does not hold anything against Kim Kardashian as she recognises the pressure Kim must be under and that she is only repeating what she has been told by Kanye West.”
“Taylor heard it for the first time when everyone else did and was humiliated. Kim Kardashian’s claim that Taylor and her team were aware of being recorded is not true, and Taylor cannot understand why Kanye West, and now Kim Kardashian, will not just leave her alone.”
Watch Taylor hit out at Kanye in the player below. Post continues after the video…
“Kanye West and Taylor only spoke once on the phone while she was on vacation with her family in January of 2016 and they have never spoken since.”
And in February, Taylor hit back at Kanye during her Grammy’s acceptance speech.
“As the first woman to win album of the year at the Grammys twice, I want to say to all the young woman out there that there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame,” Taylor added in a not-so-subtle response to Yeezy.
