Kanye West Is Back To Defending That Lyric About Taylor Swift
“I was just saying what everyone else was thinking.”
Back in February Kanye West caused uproar when he released the song "Famous," which features the line: "I think me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that bitch famous."
The line was a reference to this incident in 2009, where Kanye interrupted Taylor's speech at the MTV Video Music Awards to say Beyoncé should have won.

The statement read:
"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."
