Kanye West said Wednesday that he has been “far more helpful to Taylor Swift’s career than harmful,” denied the singer kicked him out of Sunday’s Super Bowl and said efforts to suppress the success of his new album Vultures 1 are related to racism. .
West, 46, posted on Instagram in response to a Twitter post encouraging Swift fans to buy Beyoncé’s new single Texas Hold ’em to keep West’s new single Vultures out of Billboard’s top spot.
The account added: “REMEMBER he just trolled Taylor on his latest Instagram story,” referring to a post that said he had overtaken Swift for the global top spot on Spotify.
West said in the caption of his response, originally in all caps, “When I said I’m the new Jesus bitch I wasn’t even thinking about Taylor Swift.
‘Previously there was a long queue, but I appreciate the free promo. Lil Wayne even mentions Travis Kelce on Vultures 2. This album is actually super positive and fun, it’s all about triumphant.”

West, whose career has taken a hit amid a barrage of anti-Semitic comments he has made for more than a year, said 2023 has been “an incredible challenge for me, my wife, my children, friends and family.”
“I’ve been banned from hotels, thrown out of businesses and not even allowed to eat in some restaurants.”
West said attempts have been made to hinder the commercial success of his new album Vultures 1, which he said was “pulled from platforms to limit our numbers in the first week.”
“Everyone saw vultures being taken off platforms to limit our numbers in the first week. This reminds me of the mistreatment of my people because of the color of our skin.”
West returned to Swift, telling his followers that he had benefited her career, even siding with her amid her professional battle with Scooter Braun over ownership of her material.
“Remember, I was on Taylor’s side when Scooter went behind her back to buy her masters,” he said. ‘She and Beyoncé are great inspirations for all musicians, we always say that both tours and films are sold out.
“Besides, I’m sure I’ve helped Taylor Swift’s career far more than it’s hurt. To all Taylor Swift fans, I’m not your enemy, but I’m not your friend either lol.
The Grammy-winning musical artist also denied that Swift had him escorted from Sunday’s Super Bowl in Las Vegas, where he was joined by his wife Bianca Censori, 29.

West said, “My wife had never been to a Super Bowl before so I wanted to walk around and have a good time, we had such a fun day.”

“Also, I didn’t get kicked out of the Super Bowl, we left our seats to go to YG’s box and see several friends,” he said. “My wife had never been to a Super Bowl before so I wanted to walk around and enjoy ourselves, we had such a fun day.”
The seeds of the feud between West and Swift were planted at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
In the infamous altercation, West infamously interrupted Swift during her victory speech for the Best Female Video award for You Belong With Me, which was nominated against Beyonce’s Single Ladies.
West came on stage, took the microphone from Swift and told her, “Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish.” But Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time.’
Although the musical stars seemed to be on better terms in the years that followed — they were photographed at a number of events in the years that followed — things blew up after the release of West’s 2016 song Famous.
West claimed at the time that Swift gave him her blessing to call her a “B****” in the lyrics of the song, in a reference to the VMA incident.
Swift said she never made such an agreement, which led to a public feud with West after he and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian over a July 2016 phone call West and Swift had about the content of the famous song.
Kardashian alluded to Swift being a snake when the call was released, saying in a tweet, “Wait, it’s legit National Snake Day?!?!?They have a holiday for everyone, I mean everything these days!”

Swift has spoken in 2019 Fashion about how she dealt with the high-profile scandal and said she put her energy into her material.
“A massive public shaming, where millions of people say you canceled quote-unquote, is a very isolating experience,” she said of the difficult time. “If you say someone has been canceled, that’s not a TV show. It’s a human.
“You’re sending mass amounts of messages to this person to either shut up, disappear, or it could also be interpreted as ‘kill yourself.'”
She opened up about the creative process in the wake of the scandal, which reportedly inspired the songs This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things and Look What You Made Me Do.
“I immediately knew I had to make music about it because I knew it was the only way I could survive,” Swift told the outlet. “It was the only way I could maintain my sanity and also tell the story of what it’s like to experience something so humiliating.”
Bill Maher revealed last week that he cut short a two-hour interview with West for his Club Random podcast, saying he did not want to further promote the racist views of West, whom he described as a “charming anti-Semite.”
Maher, 68, said TMZ“And besides, he’s not the only one in America who thinks this way — it’s not like Jews are universally loved, except for Kanye West.”
