The phone call that reveals Kanye West lied in his scandal with Taylor Swift
The truth sees the light. Taylor Swift was right, Kanye didn't tell her that he intended to insult her in her song or Famous.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift Full Story. Kanye, Taylor and Kim Kardashian are three names that will stay together forever. Even more so when a new video with a telephone conversation between the singer and the rapper has just seen the light by filtration on Twitter. 4 years later, we know the truth of the scandal. In short, the story leaves Taylor Swift as the winner: yes, Kanye called him to inform him of the content of his song Famous (from the Life of Pablo album), but he forgot to mention the controversial and misogynistic line that caused all this mess: « I made that bitch famous »(I made that whore famous).
Full story of the mess between Kanye West and Taylor Swift
Below you can listen to the entire 25-minute filtered conversation between Kanye West and Taylor Swift on behalf of Famous, the song in which Kanye West insulted Taylor by calling her "bitch" and assuring that she would not have been famous without her help . It is a pure negotiation. Music producer Rick Rubin is present and witnesses the entire call between Taylor and Kanye.
In the video we can see the rapper remarkably nervous, even going so far as to lengthen the moment of the revelation of the line in which he speaks of Taylor by assuring that his wife did not agree at first ("it seemed crazy to him") with the inclusion from the phrase "Taylor Swift owes me sex." However, he also says that now Kim Kardashian likes the phrase so much that it is "his favorite part of her" about her.

Kanye assures that it is very important for him to have the approval of Taylor because she has "an army of 2 billion followers." "Is it mean?" Kanye asks, meeting Taylor Swift's refusal: "No, I don't think it's mean."
Now, in the 25-minute call there is no trace of the controversial line: "I made that bitch famous." What we can hear is how Kanye asks Taylor to be the one to exclusively tweet the release of the song, which she even offers to hear in the scoop. It is not ruled out that, in the face of Taylor's refusal, the Chicago one included the controversial line in which she so seriously offended him.
Kanye West and Taylor Swift: the song that broke their relationship
Although the relationship between the singer of Shake it off and the author of Jesus is king was already undermined by the dantesque show of the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 (more information below), it was the song Famous that ended up ruining everything . As soon as it was released, the team of the protagonist of the documentary Miss Americana criticized her misogyny and assured that Taylor Swift was not aware.
Kanye West's wife, Kim Kardashian, posted a snippet of the conversation between her husband and her Taylor on Snapchat to show that he had asked her permission. Today, with the leak of the full call, we have been able to confirm that the West-Kardashians lied, because they never told Taylor that she was going to be branded a bitch on a topic.
MTV VMA 2009: the beginning of it all
You have to go back more than ten years in time to understand where all this scandal between Kanye West and Taylor Swift is coming from. During the collection of the award for Best Female Video Clip of the Year. While Taylor thanked the award, Kanye West snatched the microphone to ensure that the one who really deserved it was Beyoncé.
On April 10, during a performance by Kanye West at the Paradise Festival in Manila, the rapper claimed that interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs was for him "the beginning of the end of his life." We doubt it. If there is something we must be clear about, it is that both have come out winning. If any entertainment industry is in itself a continuous dance of mirrors, half-lies and calculated strategies with a view to enhancing the public image of each artist, this long decade of soap operas has only contributed to generating articles, tweets, noise and sales.
We have no doubt that Kanye West will answer the leak of his call to Taylor Swift shortly. Let the show go on.
