Phone call between Kanye West, Taylor Swift again roils internet

Associated Press

   Taylor Swift may have ended her feud with Katy Perry but the one with
   Kanye West seems simply not to want to die.

   New leaked video clip of the entire four-year-old phone call between
   the rapper and pop superstar about his controversial song "Famous" have
   been posted online and further complicate the picture of what happened.

   In "Famous," West raps: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have
   sex, Why? I made that bitch famous." Upon its release in 2016, West was
   condemned by many for the line. He insisted Swift had given her
   blessing to the lyric. But she denied ever hearing the lyric "I made
   that bitch famous."

   The new clips seem to corroborate Swift's claims that West didn't tell
   her the full lyrics of the song. But they also show West repeatedly
   asking Taylor for her approval of the sex lyric and she does tell him
   she thinks it's funny, just as the rapper said when it the song first
   was released.

   "I never would have expected you to tell me about a line in one of your
   songs," Swift tells him. "That's really nice that you did."

   This new footage was posted online from an unknown source late Friday
   night (20 MARCH 2020) and rapidly spread across social media. Unlike
   other videos previously posted of the call, it shows all 25 minutes,
   albeit chopped up.

   Representative for either artists did not immediately reply to a
   request for comment Saturday.
