Kanye West Pleads With Taylor Swift Fans 'I Am Not Your Enemy,' Claims He Has Been 'Helpful' to Her Career

The rapper responds directly to one Swiftie's call-to-action as the fan base aims to boost Beyoncé's new music.

West also said that fellow rapper Lil Wayne makes mention of Swift's boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, on a follow-up to his latest album, Vultures 2. As for West's complicated dynamic with Swift, that dates back to 2009 when the rapper famously crashed the stage and interrupted her acceptance speech during the MTV Video Music Awards to praise Beyoncé. Now, on West's "Carnival," Swift's name comes up again amid a pop culture-heavy verse that also includes direct mentions of Game of Thrones, Elon Musk, R. Kelly, Bill Cosby and Sean "Diddy" Combs, among other veiled references.
