Swift quickly denied the claim, with a spokesperson telling PEOPLE: “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account.”

Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that bitch famous.’” clear up his side of the story. According to him, Taylor had approved the lyrics prior to the song’s debut.

“I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line, and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings,” Kanye wrote. He went on to say his lyrics about Swift were “endearing” and that she herself was actually the source of a contentious line. According to him, she was at a dinner with one of their mutual friends when she allegedly said, “I can’t be mad at Kanye because he made me famous!” “[Swift] totally approved that,” she said. “She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t.
