On Tuesday, Kanye West directed more of his anger at pop singer Taylor Swift when he took the stage at 1OAK nightclub in Los Angeles. The rapper’s latest rant was in response to Swift’s Grammy Awards acceptance speech.
West, 38, was on hand to debut an unreleased track from his newest album, Life of Pablo. His latest song, titled “Closest Thing to Einstein” features Sampha and addresses the recent responses he’s received amid his various Twitter rants.
When it was his turn to speak at the club’s DJ booth, West took yet another shot at Swift, whom he dissed in his song, “Famous.”
“She not cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool and she f***d it up.”
West then told the audience that he received Swift’s approval for the sexually explicit lyrics in his song.
” I called Taylor. I played her. I told her. I said, ‘Taylor, I talked to my wife about it. I was like, Taylor, ‘I feel like me and you might still have sex.’ She said, ‘OOh, Kanye I like that line. ‘Then she won her award and said something completely different.”
The above-mentioned Grammy Awards speech West is referring to is the one Swift delivered after nabbing her second Album of the Year Award.
“As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I wanna say to all the young women out there: There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you’ll know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world”
