Kim Kardashian raps Taylor Swift 'Famous' lyrics in Snapchat video amid ongoing Kanye West feud
The reality star can be seen smiling as she sings along to the controversial lyrics
Kim Kardashian-West has taken an indirect swipe at Taylor Swift and has recorded herself singing the song “Famous” in a Snapchat video.
The reality TV star and businesswoman can be glimpsed smiling as she sings the controversial lyrics which have been the source of so much drama in the seemingly never-ending Kanye West and Swift feud.
In the video, Kim intermittantly mouths along to the lyrics: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous” while West’s song plays in the background of a nightclub.
The past week has seen the protracted spat between West and Swift take an unexpected turn after a phone call between Swift and West was shared on Kim’s Snapchat last Sunday. The phone call appeared to show Swift discussing the lyrics to “Famous” and West asking her for her approval, apart from the line where he refers to her as “that b****”.
Swift, whose representative said the pop star “cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message” ahead of the song’s release, says she was unaware at the time the phone call was being recorded.
Swift has subsequently accused West of “character assassination” and strongly denies approving the line “I made that b**** famous.”
“Where is the video of Kanye telling me that he was going to call me 'that b****' in his song?,” Swift wrote on her Instagram account after the recording was posted.
“It doesn't exist because it never happened [...] 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,” she added.
A representative for Swift did not immediately respond to request for comment.
