Notoriously outspoken hip-hop legend Kanye West just won’t let his beef with Taylor Swift die out. During a show at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville last Saturday, the 39 year old emcee performed his controversial “Famous” track three times in a row, which at one point even prompted the crowd to start chanting “F**k Taylor Swift”. After delivering the contentious lyrics “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/why? I made that b**ch famous”, he began one of his infamous rants on stage, declaring that “I need to hear that loud in Nashville”. He continued. “So many people told me, ‘You’ve got to take that line out of the song. You got to play it safe, but this is what rap music is. This is what art is. Saying how you feel. And this song is how I feel.”

West clearly isn’t about to retreat from his seven year long feud with the country star turned pop sensation, which began during the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards when he infamously crashed her acceptance speech. And just when we thought the two would finally put their differences aside, two months ago Kim Kardashian released footage that calls Taylor’s claims that she never approved of the “Famous” lyrics into question.  While Taylor has since released a post on Instagram defending herself, she has yet to make a public comment on the matter. You can watch footage of last Saturday’s show below, courtesy of twitter use Nabil.

Kanye West, Travi$ Scott, and Alicia Keys have a lot “In Common” as they remixed Keys’ latest single.

The amazing new track features Yeezy effortlessly flowing over the beat as he makes pop culture references that everyone still mentions, including Birdman’s now infamous Breakfast Club rant.

“Folks all up in our business/ Yeezy Season, I’m trendin’ / I bet you they respek the name now / So are we done or we finished?”

West also pokes a jab at the “FamousGate” Taylor Swift debacle as he rapped, “we been through sh-t we can’t make up/ And at the end of the night, babe, we’ll be back in bed like we famous.”

Alicia Keys dropped a hint via Twitter on Friday that something was brewing between her and Travis Scott by saying, “Congrats to @trvisxx!! 1st show on @Beats1!! Tune in…maybe he has a Lil surprise for y’all ;-)”

The never ending feud between Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has just taken a turn for the worst. According to TMZ, the 26-year-old pop star has threatened to criminally prosecute the rapper after learning that he’d secretly recorded the phone conversation between the two in which he shared his lyrics about her in his controversial single “Famous.”

TMZ reported that they have obtained a copy of the letter that Swift’s lawyer sent to West’s lawyer in February in which it was made clear that in the state of California it is considered illegal to record a phone conversation without both parties consenting to it. But Swift’s criminal prosecution threats might not go as far as she wishes. As it was seen on Keeping up with the Kardashians on Sunday night July 17th, Swift was on speaker phone during their conversation and was aware that there were others present with West in the room because she could overhear Rick Rubin, along with some of the folks filming Kanye all chime in on the call, according to TMZ.

The feud between the three all started when Swift denied that she had ever spoken to West about the lyric and was unaware that he would be calling her a b****. The reality TV star then took to Snapchat to defend her husband’s honor by releasing a series of videos of her husband’s discussion with Swift, in which she signs off to the song. Since the release of the videos, Swifts still denies that she was made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b**** famous.”

If Swift chooses to take legal action against the two, Mrs. West could be faced with aiding and abetting the crime while Mr. West could face a fine and one year of prison.

C Breezy Weighs in on Taylor Swift/Kanye West Internet Storm

Chris Brown, or C Breezy, weighed in on today’s internet storm that is Kim Kardashian‘s snapchat story. The story outed footage of Taylor Swift and Kanye West speaking about Kanye’s (infamous) “Famous” lyric. With accusations and abuse thrown at both sides of the Swift/West feud, it’s been a tough day for the internet.

The provocative lyric Swift and West discussed was “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that b**ch famous.” Kanye (in un-characteristic fashion) called Taylor to let her know about her shout-out before he released the song. Taylor had previously denied having knowledge about the lyrics, and rejected Kanye’s thoughts that he had any claim over her fame.

In the phone call, Kanye said to Taylor, “I want things that make you feel good. I don’t wanna do rap that makes people feel bad.”

To which Taylor replied “Um, yeah, I mean go with whatever line you think is better. It’s obviously very tongue-in-cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that’s really nice.”

However, their cordial conversation later led to more shade and confusion than the public could handle. This fuelled the fire, and (kind of) explains Kim blasting Taylor to the world, with the flattering hashtag of “#KimExposesTaylor” going through twitter like a wrecking ball.

Chris Brown took to Taylor Swift’s instagram, starting with the oh-so-sensitive words “WHO GIVES A F**K.”

Brown digressed to say “I just wanna see things from artists (celebrities) that actually f**king matter.”

“I DON’T F**K WIT CELEBRITIES. Real talk. There isn’t a core to them, only the surface,” he said.

Though Brown’s stream of comments are Kanye-esque in their blunt anger, his thought process is clear. Brown suggests that when it comes to artists, discussing private lives and endless feuds is both superficial and distracting.

Brown summarizes his point by clearly stating “Make music and shut the f**k up.”

We all know the Taylor Swift and Kanye West situationship has always kept people on their toes. If you’ve listened to Ye’s latest album, The Life of Pablo, you know Kanye had a very interesting verse about Swift up there. The lyrics go “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b–ch famous.” Of course the verse was slightly over the top but it’s Mr. West. You never know what to expect.

Now after the lyrics released and hit the web, it surfaced on social media fast. Also, Taylor Swift wasn’t too happy about the lyrics and claims she didn’t approve of them.

Well, Mrs. West and social media queen herself, Kim Kardashian has exposed Swift! Kim decided to post a video on Snapchat with Kanye talking to Taylor about the verse. In the video you will see that she clearly approves of the verse. Also, you’ll see that Yeezus looked to Taylor as a friend, he states “What I give a f–k about is you as a person and as a friend. I want things that make you feel good. I don’t want to do rap that makes people feel bad.”

One thing that isn’t said on the video is the part that Swift said she didn’t approve of, ” I made that b–tch” famous.

Kim has stirred up some social media controversy with this one.

Check out the conversation between Ye and Taylor Swift below.

Ray J is potentially the first of those depicted naked in Kanye West’s “Famous” video, to take legal action. According to Daily Mail, Ray J and his manager, David Weintraub are in the midst of discussing plans to take legal action against Kanye West for the unauthorized inclusion and naked depiction of the R&B singer.

Earlier this month Kanye West released the largely controversial music video to his stand out track “Famous.” While there are many things to take away from The Life Of Pablo, one particular line had social media in an uproar.

“Too all my southside n***** that know me best/I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/why? I made that b**** famous”

While this is obviously controversial for many reasons, its the visuals that now has people talking. The video in question is a 10:44 minute, avant-garde take on a few celebrities in which have directly affected Kanye’s own life. In proceeding order, George Bush, Anna Wintour, Donald trump, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian-West, Ray J, Amber Rose, Caitlyn Jenner, and finally Bill Cosby, are all depicted naked in wax form, lying next to each other beneath white sheets, on a large bed. While the visuals alone would understandably be tough to digest for anyone, it appears to be the order in which they’ve been placed that’s causing Ray J the most pain. This stemming from years ago in which a sex tape between the now wife of Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and former lover Ray J, propelled them into infamous stardom.

Regarding Ray J’s position on pursuing legal situation, Weintraub told Heat Magazine “We’re talking about potentially doing something. There’s too many times Kanye has done this. You can’t really continue to use people’s likenesses without either compensation or clearance. It seems to be becoming an issue—this is like the fourth time in six months he’s done this. We haven’t really worked anything out. There were kind of discussions but it’s getting old, so our legal team is working out what we want to do with everything.”

Legal action may be happening sooner rather than later considering Ray J isn’t too pleased with the amount of controversy the new music video has caused him in his personal life. Last week, Ray J told Entertainment Tonight “I’m engaged. My marriage is all messed up ’cause of craziness. I’m not part of nothing crazy. I walk down a good path. My fiancee tripping. It’s all bad in my world, and that ain’t cool. Don’t put me part of nothing that’s weird, that don’t make no sense. Can I grow up?”

It will be interesting to see how Ray J and his legal team proceed with this unusual case, however it looks like Kanye Wests tweet daring someone to sue him over the video may just come true after all (watch video below).
