Kim Kardashian Leaks Video Confirming Taylor Swift Signed Off on Kanye's Infamous “Famous” Line

In June, Kim Kardashian West told GQ that she possessed footage of Taylor Swift signing off on Kanye West's infamous “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/I made that bitch famous” line on his song “Famous” off The Life of Pablo. Now, she's revealed snippets of the footage via her Snapchat story. See that below. On a phone conversation with Swift in the studio, Kanye raps “For all the south side niggas that know me best/I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex” to her and asks her what she thinks about it. “I think this is a really cool thing to have,” West says. “I know, it's like a compliment, kind of,” Swift replies. “Yeah, I mean, what's dope about the line is it's very tongue in cheek either way. And I really appreciate you telling me about it, that's really nice.”

“I just had a responsibility to you as a friend, you know, and thanks for being so cool about it,” West says. “For you to ask me if I'd be okay with it, I really appreciate it. I'd never expect you to tell me about a line in your song,” Taylor says. “Relationships are more important than punchlines, you know,” West says. Later in the video, Swift says, “And I'm really glad you had the respect to call me that and tell me that as a friend, about the song. It's just a really cool thing to do, a really good show of friendship. So thank you. And you know, if people ask me about it, I think it would be great for me to be like, ‘Look, he called me and told me about the line before it came out. Joke's on you guys, we're fine.’ You guys wanna call this a feud, you wanna call this throwing shade, but right after the song comes out, I'm gonna be on a Grammy red carpet and they're gonna ask me about it, and I'm gonna be like, ‘He called me.’ It's…awesome that you're so outspoken and it's gonna be like, ‘Yeah, she does, it made her famous!’”

After “Famous” was initially released, Swift's spokesperson stated that Swift was never contacted by West for her approval and “cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.” During her Grammy acceptance speech, Swift said, “I want to say to all the young women out there—there are going to be people along the way who will to try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame," possibly referencing West's lyric. West tweeted that he “called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings.”

In her interview with GQ, Kardashian West said that Rick Rubin and “many respected people in the music business heard that [conversation].” Rubin can be seen clearly chilling in the back of the studio in the footage she uploaded to Snapchat.

Swift has already responded to the leaked footage via a statement posted to her social media accounts, saying that she was never played the final song and that she is being “falsely painted as a liar.”
