Kanye West has taken to twitter to defend the controversial lyrics in his song Famous that are a just a bit derogatory towards Taylor Swift. The internet lost their collective shit when they heard the lines "I made that bitch famous," mostly claiming that not only was it not true, but that it was offensive and misogynistic.
Taylor's spokesperson released a statement earlier today claiming that the singer had not been forewarned that she would be called bitch in the song, nor had she been asked if she was okay with it. Kanye had merely asked her to release it on her twitter account, to which she responded negatively (shocking...)
Well now Kanye has decided to tell his side of the story on twitter. He has been ranting on his account for the past few minutes and now we're left wondering who to believe...
I did not diss Taylor Swift and I’ve never dissed her…

To be honest, in this case we're inclined to side with T-Swift because that was just a dick move Kanye.
