Popular American rapper Kanye West has declared that he has been more helpful than harmful to the career of well-known country music exponent Taylor Swift.
Recall that Kanye and Taylor have been at loggerheads for more than 15 years since their very public dispute first came to be, when 19-year-old up-and-coming singer Taylor was honoured with an MTV Video Music Award for the Best Female Video.
During the event, Taylor took to the stage to accept her award, but she was rudely interrupted by Kanye, who told viewers at home that Beyonce should have won the award instead.
Grabbing the mic from her, Kanye West yelled, “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you. I’ll let you finish. But Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time!”.

However, it seems Kanye isn’t finished with his alleged attempt to come after the star, proclaiming in a brand new statement that he’s been ‘more helpful’ to her career ‘than good’.
Taking to Instagram, the rapper shared a screengrab of Taylor’s Twitter post, which urged users to stream Beyoncé’s new track ‘Texas Hold ’em’ in order to keep Kanye’s latest hit ‘Vultures’ out the Billboard charts.
“When I said that I’m the new Jesus, b***h, I wasn’t even thinking about Taylor Swift,” Kanye penned in all caps in the caption.
“That was a whole line before, but I appreciate the free promo. Lil Wayne actually mentions [Taylor’s sportsman boyfriend] Travis Kelce on Vultures 2. This album is actually super positive and fun; it’s all about triumphant.” Kanye added.
