In light of the continuing conflict between Taylor Swift and the controversial musician Kanye West, Jack Antonoff has blasted the rapper and declared that he needs ‘his nappy changed’.
One of Taylor’s most frequent collaborators, singer-songwriter Jack, 39, is a fiercely devoted buddy of the Love Story hitmaker.
Since Kanye interrupted Taylor, 34, during her victory speech at the 2009 VMAs, during which she won the best female video award for You Belong With Me, the two have been at odds.
Over the past few weeks, Kanye, 46, has refuted rumours that Taylor had him ejected out of the Super Bowl for trying to “upstage” her and instead stated he has “been far more helpful to her career than harmful.”
Producer Jack, however, shot back, saying the rapper “just needs his nappy changed so badly” in response to his ongoing diatribe.
faithful companion Jack challenges anyone to doubt Taylor’s songwriting prowess—she has won 14 Grammy awards.
The frontman of Blur and Gorillaz, Damon Albarn, blasted the 34-year-old pop artist, saying she “doesn’t write her own songs” to the Los Angeles Times two years ago.
‘I’ve never seen Damon Albarn and he’s never been to my studio but evidently he knows more than the rest of us about all those songs Taylor writes and sends in,’ Jack commented on Twitter, labelling the 55-year-old Englishman a ‘herb’ in response to his outrage.
You’re toast to me, but you come after my pal Taylor. It would be equivalent to questioning someone’s belief in God. Simply said, avoid going there.
Ten-
time Grammy winner Jack, who turns 40 next month, first got to know Taylor in 2012 when they worked together on her song Sweeter than Fiction for David Frankel’s biopic, One Chance, on British Idol champion Paul Potts.
The blonde billionaire’s albums 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version), Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), 1989 (Taylor’s Version), and Midnights all featured songs that Jack went on to create and produce.
It’s unknown if Jack had any involvement with Taylor’s April 19 surprise release of her 11th studio album, Tortured Poets Department, which she revealed live at the 66th Grammy Awards.
