Kanye West and Taylor Swift Phone Conversation Leaked
West earlier called Swift a “snake” and that she gave her blessing for a controversial line about her in his song “Famous.” The call seems to prove otherwise.

Leaked footage of what appears to be a 2016 telephone conversation between Taylor Swift and Kanye West shines new light on whether Swift gave her blessing for his song “Famous.” The song has the lyrics: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn) / I made that bitch famous.” West’s wife Kim Kardashian had earlier shared a clip of the phone call in which Swift appeared to approve the line, but the new, fuller clip, shows that West said the line would only be: “I feel Taylor might owe me sex.” He does not mention calling her a bitch or taking credit for her fame. Kardashian called Swift a “snake” for expressing anger over West calling her a bitch. Another clip from that call makes no mention of the full lyrics.
