Who Said That?! Kanye West Denies Rumor Claiming Taylor Swift Got Him Removed From His Super Bowl Seats

Kanye West has publicly addressed a widely spread rumor claiming Taylor Swift had allegedly booted him from her Super Bowl section.

The rapper took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 14) to respond to the viral story.

Taylor Swift’s Fan Attempt To Start A Streaming War Against Kanye West

He shared a screenshot of a tweet from a Taylor Swift fan, who urged their followers to stream Beyonce‘s newly-dropped country record, ‘Texas Hold Em.’

The goal was to ensure West, who dropped his album, ‘Vultures 1,’ last week, did not secure a Number 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100.

So, to block him from reaching the top spot, this particular account made it their mission to get people on board and boost Bey’s numbers by streaming her track instead.
“Swiftie emergency. Beyonce’s new single “Texas Hold Em” is challenging Kanye West for a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100,” they wrote.

“Let’s BUY AND STREAM TEXAS HOLD ‘EM to block him from the top spot!!! REMEMBER he just DRAGGED Taylor on his latest Instagram Story.”
The tweet prompted Kanye to issue a lengthy response on Instagram, clearing up a bunch of rumors concerning his supposed feud with the pop star.

But the way Ye sees it, he has no problem with Swift or her fans.

Kanye Cleared The Air On Where He Stands With Taylor

He started by addressing a repost shared to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (February 13).

The post in question was a tweet from the account Daily Loud stating that Ye had officially beaten Swift as the top global artist on Spotify.

The ‘Blank Space’ singer’s fans perceived this as a diss, which West denies.
“When I said that I’m the new Jesus, b****. I wasn’t even thinking about Taylor Swift,” he wrote. “That was a whole line before but I appreciate the free promo.”

He mentioned that he found 2023 “challenging” after his industry peers shunned him, which appeared to be about his controversial antisemitic remarks in late 2022.

Following his not-so-nice comments about the Jewish community at the time, Ye lost multiple endorsement deals and partnerships with the likes of Gap, Balenciaga, and Adidas.

West personally explained the impact Hollywood’s rejection had on him.

He added, “I’ve been banned from hotels, kicked out of companies, and even not allowed to eat in some restaurants.”

 

The father of four then addressed the X user, saying he was standing by Taylor’s side when she was feuding with Scooter Braun.

The record executive and Justin Bieber’s manager faced accusations of doing shady business after acquiring Swift’s masters from her former label, Big Machine Records. She alleged that Braun closed the deal with BMR before she had the chance to make an offer, per US Weekly. This prompted her to re-record her entire discography to regain control of her work.
“She and Beyoncé are so big inspirations to all musicians.

We always say how both sell out tours and movies.

Also, I’m sure I’ve been far more helpful to Taylor Swift’s career than harmful.

To all Taylor Swift fans I am not your enemy, ummm Im not your friend either though lol.”

Kanye Explains Why He Wasn’t In His Super Bowl Seats At Times

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Swift had demanded the Grammy winner’s removal from her section, per Forbes.

In response, however, West made it clear he was never removed.

While he did disappear from his seats for some time, he says he was walking around the stadium with his wife, Bianca Censori. He shared that she had never been to the annual sports event before.

So, instead of sticking to their seats for the entire game, they decided to mingle with their friends at the game.
“Also I didn’t get kicked out of the Super Bowl. We left our seats to go to YG’s box and see different friends.

My wife had never been to a Super Bowl so I wanted to walk around and have a nice time. We had such a fun day,” Ye added.
Despite the Swifties’ call-to-action, it’s unlikely the fan base will be able to stop him from going No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 200. According to Hip Hop DX, the Chicago native’s latest body of work is on course to sell a whopping 140,000 units in its first week.
