Yeezy’s done it. He won’t leave Taylor alone. It seems that there are more universal constants than the sun and moon- no matter what happens, Kanye will squeeze himself into Taylor Swift’s fun girl-i-verse and annoy her. He’s 12 years older than her. Why is he singing about how he “might’ve had sex” with her on his new album? He goes on to inform us that he made her famous, calling her a familiar gendered slur. However, in this particular case, Kanye claims that Taylor Swift agreed to these lyrics. Is it some sort of “forgive and forget” method Swift is applying to the situation at hand? Or is Kanye just lying? Taylor Swift won’t come out and give him or the song the time of day, busy enough with her career and personal life. It’s just strange at this point. Rappers need rivals, but reducing her to a potential sex partner and attributing her self-made success to yourself, Kanye? But then again, is he really better than that?
The updated album of “Life of Pablo” is now available on streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. Listen for yourself to this weird, one-sided rivalry between a thirty eight year-old man and a woman in her twenties who has been castigated her fair share about her relationships with men before, and certainly doesn’t need more speculation.
