NEW YORK: It’s Taylor vs. Kanye, part 242, with a dash of Kim Kardashian.

West’s famous wife stirred the pot of beef between Taylor Swift and Kanye West on Sunday, when on Snapchat, she posted video of a phone call between the rapper and pop superstar about his song “Famous,” in which he rapped about Taylor.
Upon its release in February, West was condemned by many for the line. He insisted Swift had given her blessing to the lyric, but she denied ever hearing the lyric.
On Twitter on Sunday, Kardashian teased: “Do u guys follow me on snap chat? u really should ;-)“
Then, she unleashed a series of Snapchat videos that threatened to break the Internet.
On them, a smiling West tells Swift he’s working on a song and wants to use the lyric: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have ...”
In response, Swift is heard saying she worries about overexposure, but West says the lyric would be good exposure. In the end, she appears to give her blessing.
“It’s like a compliment,” she says. “I really appreciate you telling me about it, that’s really nice.”
But when the song came out, in a statement, Swift’s rep said: “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.”
Many on social media suggested that it proved Swift had lied. But in an Instagram post, Swift said the audio actually proved she had never approved the use of the word “b****.”
“He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.”
Stars jumped onto the social media battleground on both sides. Khloe Kardashian praised her sister on Twitter, calling her “a savage.” Swift’s friend Selena Gomez rhetorically asked in a tweet why people can’t use their voice for something that matters before adding, “Truth is last thing we need right now is hate, in any form.” Justin Bieber appealed for calm on Instagram with a short video calling for “less hate, more love.”
