‘Kanye crossed the line’: Offensive Taylor Swift claims and vulgar Beyoncé question spark outrage | Hollywood News

Lately, Kanye West has been in self-destructive mode, as the cancelled rapper keeps making wild claims every now and then—launching rant-filled tirades on social media and then deleting them instantly. Earlier, he targeted his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her entire family, voiced support for Diddy, and even dropped tracks backing him. But now, he seems to have irked one of the most loyal fandoms in the world, the Swifties. In over 100 posts, he unloaded everything from regrets and old disagreements to some truly jaw-dropping claims about other celebs. It started with a small apology, but it didn’t stay in the lane of remorse for long.

Kanye wrote, “I’m sorry, Jay-Z. I be feeling bad about my tweet, but I still feel I gave my life to this industry and thought so many people were my family, but when I needed my family on some real sht none of these rap n*** had my back.” And just when fans thought the situation might cool down between the two, an hour later, he doubled down with something grossly out-of-pocket—asking a vulgar question about Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s sex life. “You just apologised for the previous stunts, don’t pull a new one,” an internet user crticised Ye. “gross… how could he even,” a second added. “That’s Kanye we are talking about, no doubt why he is cancelled,” a third said.

Just last month, the Yeezy rapper sparked outrage after making durbing comments about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s 7-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir. West publicly questioned their mental capacity in a now-deleted post. He reposted it soon after and made it clear he hadn’t taken it down to be “a good person. “I need everyone to know that I took the post about Jay Z and Beyoncé’s family down … because there was a possibility of my Twitter being cancelled,” he wrote. Kanye and Jay-Z were once close pals who often collaborated, famously teaming up on Watch the Throne back in 2011, but their relationship has clearly taken a hit over the years. While West has been open about his bipolar disorder diagnosis from 2016, he later claimed in 2022 that he had been “mentally misdiagnosed.” In a later interview with DJ Akademiks, West defended his behaviour, saying he’d rather “give up [his] life” than give up his “freedom to talk.”
Kanye West attacks Taylor Swift
Within an hour, Kanye was throwing fire again. Out of nowhere, Ye dropped a truly shocking and dasteful claim involving Swift, Justin Bieber and Harry Styles. That post went viral in minutes. No response from Taylor (yet), but Swifties and the rest of the internet blew up. People were outraged and baffled at the same time. He then pinned the blame on the Cruel Summer singer, saying she was part of the reason he never got to perform on the Super Bowl halftime stage. In another post on X, the Off the Grid rapper pointed out three key moments he believes cost him the opportunity to headline the iconic event. He wrote, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments. George Bush don’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat.”
This isn’t Kanye’s first time targeting Taylor. Their hory goes way back to the 2009 VMAs, when Kanye stormed the stage during her acceptance speech. Since then, it’s been a back-and-forth of fake reconciliations, leaked phone calls, and rap disses. One user commented, “Ye’s not beefing, he’s just being nasty now.”Story continues below this ad
The post about Taylor was later deleted, but the damage was done. Screenshots spread like wildfire, and fans are left wondering whether the Bad Blood crooner will fire back with a diss track or a defamation lawsuit. Meanwhile, Kanye just kept going. He dragged in Ashley Olsen and Madonna, claiming he was once involved with both the celebs, and even questioned Tyler, The Creator’s talent (“He can’t rap”).
