Kanye West slams Taylor Swift fans plotting to ruin ‘Vultures 1’ debut: I’ve been ‘helpful’ to her career

Kanye “Ye” West fired back at Taylor Swift fans Wednesday, claiming that they are purposefully attempting to deny his brand-new album “Vultures 1” the No. 1 slot on the Billboard charts after one fan declared a “Swiftie emergency” on X (formerly Twitter).

“SWIFTIE EMERGENCY,” read the tweet from the now-private account. “Beyonce’s new single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ is challenging Kanye West for #1 debut on Billboard Hot 100.”

Kanye West fired back at Swifties claiming the group is trying to deny him the #1 slot on Billboard’s top 100.

Let’s buy and stream Texas Hold ‘Em to block him from the top spot,” the die-hard fan continued. “Remember, he dragged Taylor on his latest Instagram story.”

West, 46, later posted a screenshot of the tweet on his Instagram, slamming the user.

“When I said that I’m the new Jesus b–ch I wasn’t even thinking about Taylor Swift,” West ranted on Instagram. “That was a whole line before but I appreciate the free promo.”

“Lil Wayne actually mentions Travis Kelce on ‘Vultures 2,’” continued the rapper, who claimed his brand-new music is actually “super positive and fun” as well as “triumphant.”

“Last year was incredibly challenging for me, my wife, my children, friends and family,” he went on, referring to the fallout after his antisemitic rants. “I’ve been banned from hotels, kicked out of companies, and even not allowed to eat in some restaurants.”

According to the “Donda” musician, he was on Swift’s side during her spat with her former manager Scooter Braun and even claimed that Swift, 34, and Beyonce, 42, served as musical inspirations.

“I’m sure I’ve been far more helpful to Taylor Swift’s career than harmful,” West proclaimed. “To all Taylor Swift fans, I am not your enemy uuum I’m not your friend either though lol.”

West then addressed the rumors that he and his wife, Bianca Censori, 29, were allegedly kicked out of a suite by Swift during the 2024 Super Bowl on Sunday.

“Also I didn’t get kicked out of the Super Bowl,” he alleged, saying that the pair actually left their seats to go visit other friends.

West’s rage-induced Instagram rant comes mere days after several people accused the rapper of name-dropping Swift in one of his brand new songs as an attempt to stay relevant. 6

West’s Instagram message comes mere days after he name-dropped Swift in his new song, “Carnival.”

“Why she say she sucked my d–k / Then she say she ain’t sucked my d–k / She gon’ take it up the a– like a ventriloquist / I made six Taylor Swift since I had the Rollie on the wrist,” West raps.

The new mention of Swift instantly angered several social media users.

“Taylor Swift was his target twice and has successfully moved on from both events and thrived. Meanwhile, Kanye feels the need to name-drop her every time he needs clout and attention,” one user on X argued.

“Kanye West still unironically thinking he made Taylor Swift famous is so … like if you’re the one using her name in songs TWICE because you’re desperate for attention, I don’t think you’re as relevant as you think you are,” a second person slammed.

West’s bad blood with Swift began in 2009, when the performer infamously hopped onto the MTV Video Music Awards stage during her acceptance speech and declared that Beyoncé “had one of the best videos of all time.”

In 2016, he went on to mention Swift on his song “Famous.”

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous,” he sings.

Swift refuted that assertion, saying that West didn’t tell her about the “I made that b—h famous” line.

Tensions between the two artists were further fueled when West’s then-wife, Kim Kardashian, posted what appeared to be the entire conversation on her Snapchat, which seemed to indicate that Swift was lying and had indeed given West permission.

“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift told Time magazine after being named 2023’s Person Of The Year. “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before.”

According to the “Donda” singer, he was on Swift’s side during her spat with her former manager Scooter Braun and even quipped that Swift, 34, and Beyonce, 42, served as musical inspirations to him. 6

According to Swift, the incident was among the “horrendous things that happened” to her and called the experience “getting canceled within an inch of my life and sanity.”

The aftermath forced the “Karma” singer to move to “a foreign country,” where she “didn’t leave a rental house for a year.”

“I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore,” she revealed. “I went down really, really hard.”

In 2020, the real version of the call was leaked online by an unknown party and vindicated Swift.7

Despite their yearslong feud — and both being in close proximity during the Super Bowl — Swift was all smiles as she and several friends attended the game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. She ended the night by celebrating with her tight end boyfriend, Travis Kelce, whose
