Kanye West has publicly addressed a widely spread rumor claiming Taylor Swift had allegedly booted him from her Super Bowl section.
The rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 14) to answer the viral story.
Taylor Swift’s Fan Attempt To Start A Streaming War Against Kanye West
He shared a screenshot of a tweet from a Taylor Swift fan, who urged their followers to stream Beyonce‘s newly-dropped country record, ‘Texas Hold Em.’
The goal was to make sure West, who dropped his album, ‘Vultures 1,’ last week, didn’t secure a #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
So, to dam him from reaching the highest spot, this particular account made it their mission to get people on board and boost Bey’s numbers by streaming her track as an alternative.
“Swiftie emergency. Beyonce’s latest single “Texas Hold Em” is difficult Kanye West for a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100,” they wrote.
“Let’s BUY AND STREAM TEXAS HOLD ‘EM to dam him from the highest spot!!! REMEMBER he just DRAGGED Taylor on his latest Instagram Story.”
The tweet prompted Kanye to issue a lengthy response on Instagram, clearing up a bunch of rumors concerning his supposed feud with the pop star.
But the best way Ye sees it, he has no problem with Swift or her fans.
Kanye Cleared The Air On Where He Stands With Taylor
He began by addressing a repost shared to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (February 13).
The post in query was a tweet from the account Every day Loud stating that Ye had officially beaten Swift as the highest global artist on Spotify.
The ‘Blank Space’ singer’s fans perceived this as a diss, which West denies.
“After I said that I’m the brand new Jesus, b****. I wasn’t even eager about Taylor Swift,” he wrote. “That was an entire line before but I appreciate the free promo.”

He mentioned that he found 2023 “difficult” after his industry peers shunned him, which seemed to be about his controversial antisemitic remarks in late 2022.
Following his not-so-nice comments concerning the Jewish community on the time, Ye lost multiple endorsement deals and partnerships with the likes of Gap, Balenciaga, and Adidas.

West personally explained the impact Hollywood’s rejection had on him.
He added, “I’ve been banned from hotels, kicked out of firms, and even not allowed to eat in some restaurants.”
The daddy of 4 then addressed the X user, saying he was standing by Taylor’s side when she was feuding with Scooter Braun.
The record executive and Justin Bieber’s manager faced accusations of doing shady business after acquiring Swift’s masters from her former label, Big Machine Records. She alleged that Braun closed the take care of BMR before she had the prospect to make a proposal, per US Weekly. This prompted her to re-record her entire discography to regain control of her work.
“She and Beyoncé are so big inspirations to all musicians.
We all the time say how each sell out tours and films.
Also, I’m sure I’ve been much more helpful to Taylor Swift’s profession than harmful.
To all Taylor Swift fans I’m not your enemy, ummm Im not your friend either though lol.”
Kanye Explains Why He Wasn’t In His Super Bowl Seats At Times
Earlier this week, reports emerged that Swift had demanded the Grammy winner’s removal from her section, per Forbes.
In response, nevertheless, West made it clear he was never removed.
While he did disappear from his seats for a while, he says he was walking across the stadium together with his wife, Bianca Censori. He shared that she had never been to the annual sports event before.
So, as an alternative of sticking to their seats for the whole game, they decided to mingle with their friends at the sport.
“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 desired to walk around and have a pleasant time. We had such a fun day,” Ye added.
Despite the Swifties’ call-to-action, it’s unlikely the fan base will find a way to stop him from going No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 200. Based on Hip Hop DX, the Chicago native’s latest body of labor is on the right track to sell a whopping 140,000 units in its first week.
