Taylor Swift And Kanye West Unending Drama: Kanye and Kim Kardashian Could Land in Jail as Taylor Calls Her Lawyers

 

Taylor Swift has called in lawyers after a private phone conversation with Kanye West was leaked by the rapper’s wife Kim Kardashian.

Kim claims the video footage, which emerged over the weekend, showed the squeaky-clean pop star approve controversial lyrics to Kanye’s song Famous.

However, Taylor, 26, remains adamant she never heard the full track before its release in February and did not realise she would be referred to as “that bitch”.

She said in a statement yesterday: “You cannot approve a song that you haven’t heard.

“Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.”

Famous r­eferenced Kanye’s interruption of Taylor’s speech when she won a gong at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.

He rapped: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, I made that bitch famous.”

Kanye, 39, is believed to have been in a studio in Los Angeles when he called Taylor in January.

Under Californian law, it is illegal to record a phone call without both parties’ consent. If found to have broken the law, the rapper could face up to three years in prison, as well as fines and
civil damages.

Yet Kim posted videos of the exchange on Snapchat. While no reference is made to the phrase “that bitch”, Kanye asks Taylor if she is happy with his lyrics.

She is heard saying it is “like a compliment”. Taylor also said: “It’s awesome that you’re so outspoken about this and be like, ‘It made her famous’. It’s more provocative to say ‘might still have sex’. “It doesn’t matter to me. There’s not one that hurts my feelings and one that doesn’t.”

However, Taylor was left furious when the song was released.

Her representative said at the time: “Kanye did not call for approval but to ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account.

“She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous’.”

Last month Kim, 35, claimed Taylor “totally approved” and accused her of “playing the victim”. Taylor’s statement added: “I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I never asked to be part of, since 2009.”
