Kanye West Is Back To Defending That Lyric About Taylor Swift
0
“I was just saying what everyone else was thinking.”
Back in February Kanye West caused uproar when he released the song "Famous," which features the line: "I think me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous."
The line was a reference to this incident in 2009, where Kanye interrupted Taylor's speech at the MTV Video Music Awards to say Beyoncé should have won.

The statement read:
"Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single "Famous" 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."
