Kanye West Steathily Shades Taylor Swift For Grammys Win — See The Tweet
The rapper went off in another one of his vicious Twitter rants on Feb. 23 and this time he pretty obviously slammed Taylor without calling her out by name.
Welcome to another episode of the Kanye West attacks everyone show. You might have thought Kanye’s trip to Paris would have cooled his jets but he’s back at it with the attacks and this time he’s dissing Taylor Swift for making awesome music. The rapper is crying like a kid in a playground over the fact that Taylor has won Album of the Year twice at the Grammys and Kanye hasn’t ever. Face the facts Kanye, maybe Taylor deserved these wins?! Just a thought.
Kanye just doesn’t know when to shut up. In a series of tweets he decided to make an immature and pointed reference to the fact that Taylor won Grammys in the Album of the Year category for Fearless and 1989. He seems to think it’s unfair and that he should have won the Grammy instead. Um, let’s not forget that in his new song “Famous,” that he debuted at his Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at NYC’s Madison Square Garden on Feb. 11, he called Taylor a b**ch, said he should have sex with her and that he made her famous.
I made Dark Fantasy and Watch the Throne in one year and wasn’t nominated for either and you know who has 2 albums of the year.

But of course, Kanye claims Taylor came up with the lyrics herself and the whole idea for the song … yea right!

Meanwhile, Taylor’s rep, Tree Paine released this statement after “Famous” dropped: “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his singleFamous 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.’”
