AceShowbiz - Kanye West launches into a rant in a new Instagram post. The hip-hop star, who recently released his and Ty Dolla $ign's collaborative album "Vultures 1", slammed Taylor Swift's fans who encouraged others to stream Beyonce Knowles' song in attempt to block his from taking the top spot on Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"WHEN I SAID THAT I'M THE NEW JESUS B***H I WASN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT," the Yeezy designer wrote in the caption of his post on Wednesday, February 14, seemingly talking about his recent post on Instagram Stories. "THAT WAS A WHOLE LINE BEFORE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FREE PROMO."
Seemingly referring to the "Anti-Hero" singer's boyfriend Travis Kelce, he continued, "LIL WAYNE ACTUALLY MENTIONS TRAVIS KELSEY ON VULTURES 2. THIS ALBUM IS ACTUALLY SUPER POSITIVE AND FUN IT'S ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHANT."
Ye additionally recalled how last year was "INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY." He elaborated, "I'VE BEEN BANNED FROM HOTELS, KICKED OUT OF COMPANIES, AND EVEN NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN SOME RESTAURANTS. EVERYONE SAW VULTURES 1 GET TAKEN OFF OF PLATFORMS TO LIMIT OUR FIRST WEEK NUMBERS. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MISTREATMENT OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN."
"REMEMBER I WAS ON TAYLOR'S SIDE WHEN SCOOTER BOUGHT HER MASTERS BEHIND HER BACK," he added, referencing Taylor's drama with Scooter Braun. Calling the "Karma" songstress and Beyonce "BIG INSPIRATIONS TO ALL MUSICIANS," Ye continued that he's "BEEN FAR MORE HELPFUL TO TAYLOR SWIFT'S CAREER THAN HARMFUL."
The "Famous" emcee then addressed Taylor's fans, who are known as Swifties, telling them, "TO ALL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY UUUM IM NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH LOL." He additionally denied claims that Taylor got him kicked out of Super Bowl, saying, "ALSO I DIDN'T GET KICKED OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL WE LEFT OUR SEATS TO GO TO YG'S BOX AND SEE DIFFERENT FRIENDS. MY WIFE HAD NEVER BEEN TO A SUPER BOWL SO I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND HAVE A NICE TIME WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY."
Concluding his post, the former husband of Kim Kardashian wrote, "OH AND TO SHAQ I GREW UP LOOKING UP TO YOU I WOULD LOVE TO HANG WITH YOU AND JAMIE SOMETIME JAIMIE SALTER IS LIKE A FATHER FIGURE TO ME. THE MEDIA MAY CONTROL THE NARRATIVE BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN."
In the original post, a Swiftie wrote on X, "SWIFTIE EMERGENCY. Beyonce's new single 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' is challenging Kanye West for a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100. Let's BUY AND STREAM TEXAS HOLD 'EM to block him from the top spot!!! REMEMBER he just DRAGGED Taylor on his latest Instagram Story."
Despite his controversies, Ye's new album is dominating streaming platforms upon its release. By Tuesday, the musician occupied half of all the spots inside the top 10 on Spotify's ranking of the most-streamed songs in the U.S. Meanwhile on Instagram Stories, the "Jesus Walks" spitter additionally bragged about overtaking Taylor as the top artist globally.
