Kanye West says he’s been “more helpful” to Taylor Swift’s career than “harmful.” Fans of the country/pop singer are sure to be upset about the rapper’s comment.
Kanye West brings Taylor Swift’s name up regularly, and he’s been doing so quite frequently lately as the rapper continues to promote his new album Vultures 1. He recently took to Instagram to call out the pop singer’s fan base, to praise the superstar and, of course, to add fuel to the fire that is their very public spat.
The controversial hip-hop musician shared a screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) account dedicated to Swift. The tweet he shared was one attempting to get Swift’s fans to continue to buy the new Beyoncé singles and help them score a sizable debut on next week’s Billboard charts. The goal is less to support Bey, and more to ensure that West’s new single “Carnival” arrives lower than it might otherwise on the Hot 100.
West caught this post and shared it to his 20 million followers on Instagram.
