Time Person of the Year Taylor Swift still has plenty to say about that fiasco between herself, Kanye West, and his then-wife Kim Kardashian.
There is still bad blood between Swift, Ye, and his ex-wife. In her Time Person of the Year interview, the “Shake It Off” singer opened up about the leaked phone conversation between herself and the antisemitic rapper in which he asked for permission to say her name in the 2016 track “Famous” off his very meh album, DONDA.
On the song, the artist, who now is called Ye, rapped, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why? I made that bitch famous.” Swift claimed she had no idea the Chicago rapper would say the latter part of those lyrics after the song dropped.
West and his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, claimed that Swift was all on board with the tasteless bars.
Kim K took things further by dropping an edited video featuring the phone call between Ye and Swift, showing the singer approving the lyrics.
In the interview with Time, Swift said it felt like a “fully manufactured frame job.”
“[It was] an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” Swift said.
Adding, “Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me… I thought that moment of backlash was going to define me negatively for the rest of my life.”
Swift Believes Karma Will Deal With Her Foes
Swift had to move to another country because everyone sided with the rapper and his wife, returning to the spotlight with her 2017 album Reputation.
“That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country, “Swift told Time. “I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls.”
“I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore,” adding, “I went down really, really hard.”
“But I’ve also learned there’s no point in actively trying to quote-unquote defeat your enemies,” Swift said. “Trash takes itself out every single time.”
Swift’s loyal fanbase, the Swifties, also did some detective work uncovering the entire recording proving that West was talking about a different lyric, not the one on “Famous.”
Good for her.
Swift is now living her best life with her new boo, Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Champion tight end Travis Kelce while continuing to rake in tons of cash from her most recent tour, latest album, and concert film.

Kim Kardashian learned the hard way that former President Donald Trump is a very bitter, transactional person.
Spotted on Business Insider, according to a new book, the disgraced and twice impeached former POTUS, Donald Trump, was not trying to give reality star/ mogul and aspiring lawyer Kim Kardashian his help and hung up the phone on her when she called about a clemency plea.
Trump invited Kardashian to the White House in 2018 as she was advocating for sentencing reform for nonviolent offenders.
Kardashian asked the orange menace for help obtaining clemency for several prisoners serving time. Kim K was determined to help felons who have served considerable time, paid their debts to society, and deserve a second chance.
After returning to the White House in 2020 to advocate for criminal justice reform and meet with Trump and ex-offenders whose sentences were commuted, Trump began to give Kim K the cold shoulder following his election defeat to President Joe Biden, according to a new book from ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl.
Per Business Insider:
Months after Trump left the White House, Kardashian reportedly called Trump to get his endorsement for a clemency plea. Instead, the former president angrily accused her of voting for Biden, according to Karl’s book, “Tired of Winning: Donald Trump and the End of the Grand Old Party.”
“Hell no,” the ex-president told Kardashian after hearing her request, per the book. “You voted for Biden and now you come asking me for a favor?”
“After a few more choice words, the line went dead. Trump had hung up on her,” Karl writes.
Did Kim K Vote For Joe Biden?
Kardashian has never said anything publicly about her choice in the 2020 presidential election.
But she did post a photo of President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris with three blue emoji hearts as the caption on X, formerly known as Twitter at the time.
Maybe Kim K posted that photo of Biden and Harris to spite Trump.
Regardless, the book mentions another by Kardashian to reach out to Trump to grant some last-minute commutations before he left the White House.
According to the book, Trump allegedly told Kardashian he would help her out if she got some football players she is friendly with to visit the White House.
“Kardashian actually tried to do what Trump demanded, seeing it as a small price to pay to get justice for people she believed were serving unjust sentences,” Karl writes. “But all the players she approached declined. Trump had become too toxic. In the final two weeks of his presidency, nobody wanted to be anywhere near him.”
Welp.
Trump is such a salty loser.

Kim Kardashian has shared that when it comes to co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West, he’s still considered the fan favorite.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians, the two eldest Kardashians sisters, Kourtney and Kim, were discussing co-parenting with their ex-husbands and the challenges of overcoming being hurt by their children preferring to stay at the residence of their fathers versus theirs. During the sisterly chat, Kim revealed that her oldest daughter, North West, revealed she prefers to spend time with her dad because he “has it all figured out.”
“She’ll be like, ‘Dad is the best,’” Kim K. said. “‘He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security. He lives in an apartment.’ And she’ll start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’”
Following the revelation, Kourtney empathized with the situation, sharing that her three children with ex, Scott Disick feel the same.
“They do that at Scott’s too,” Kourtney Kardashian said. “‘Dad has the best house, your house sucks. He has the best house. It’s not super big, the vibe is better.’ I feel like everything falls on the parent that’s more involved.’”
Clearly feeling upset, the SKIMS founder quipped that the children felt more independent due to “making ramen noodles” while under the care of Yeezy.
“They make their own food. That is amazing that you make Ramen,” Kim K said, to which Kourtney added, “You boil water and pour it onto some noodles.”
Later in the show during the confessional, Kim shared that Kourtney believes that 10-year-old North is the reality star’s “lesson” in her life. “I’m supposed to learn even more about patience—she teaches me patience. She has taught me a lot about life,” she shared.
Kim also shares seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago, and four-year-old Psalm with her ex-husband Ye; their divorce was finalized in November 2022, almost two years after she filed to end their 6-year marriage. Following the dissolution, Kardashian faced backlash in May after seemingly calling herself a single mother, stating that she has “no one there to help” during a podcast interview with Jay Shetty. Addressing the controversy, Kardashian said:
“I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent. Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you. The struggles that my kids go through really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have.”

North West pays tribute to her dad Ye aka Kanye West’s Graduation album by dressing up as the “Dropout Bear” mascot for Halloween.
On Saturday morning (Oct. 28), North West shared a video to the TikTok account that she shares with her mother Kim Kardashian. The video begins with the 10-year-old facing the camera operated by her mother, showing off how much she resembles her father, Ye aka Kanye West before donning the head of the “Dropout Bear” costume and dancing around to a sped-up version of “American Boy,” the 2007 smash hit by Estelle which featured Ye.
There were two other posts on the popular social media platform featuring the preteen in the costume. One showed her singing and dancing to “I Wonder,” from the Grammy Award-winning Graduation album and the other featured her dancing nonstop for almost a minute in full costume to “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
The costume itself is the one from West’s third album, Graduation, which showed the “Dropout Bear” mascot decked out in dark denim jeans, a blue and gray varsity jacket and a “Jesus piece” chain. The artwork of the bear was done by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The mascot became famous after being featured on the cover of West’s debut album The College Dropout in 2004.
It’s not the first time that North has paid homage to her famous father. Earlier this year, she showed off an outfit featuring a Ralph Lauren long-sleeved rugby shirt with blue and orange stripes similar to what Ye wore at the time of The College Dropout’s release. The spooky season of Halloween has seen North West and her siblings honor other notable music artists in the past. Last year, she dressed as the late singer Aaliyah wearing a full ensemble by Tommy Hilfiger while Saint dressed up as Snoop Dogg. Chicago dressed like the singer Sade, and Psalm sported a costume inspired by the late Eazy-E.
Some of today’s biggest celebrities have a confession for Usher: he’s headlining the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show presented by Apple Music.
Following news on Sunday (Sept. 24) that the R&B icon will take the big stage at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 11, 2024, Apple News dropped numerous promotional videos featuring stars like Kim Kardashian, Deion Sanders, Odell Beckham Jr. and Marshawn Lynch delivering the exciting halftime show news to a skeptical Usher via a surprise phone call.
The minute-long “Confession” clips start with Usher sitting in a recording booth fervently writing song lyrics. He’s then interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone, with each celeb hilariously telling him the news about his upcoming Super Bowl headlining performance. He doesn’t believe it at first, but eventually lets the momentous news sink in. A futuristic Usher even makes an appearance in one of the videos, telling himself, “I’m on the set shooting the promo for it right now… I need you to get ready.”
This year will mark the fifth year of the partnership between the NFL and Roc Nation to produce the Halftime Show, after a deal struck in 2019. That partnership has resulted in halftime shows by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez (2020), The Weeknd (2021), a hip-hop showcase anchored by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar (2022), and Rihanna (2023).
In addition to headlining the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show, Usher will also be releasing his next album, Coming Home, on Feb. 11, 2024. This marks his first new album since 2016’s Hard II Love, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Coming Home will feature the Grammy-winning singer’s previous 2023 release “Good Good,” featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage.
“I’m coming home, I’m back with my team,” Usher told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, noting that he’s working with Antonio “L.A.” Reid. “Even when you see the artwork, you will understand it. When you see the peach. You get it. You understand where I’m from and what we’re doing.”
Usher added, “More than anything, it’s a celebration of music. Coming home in many other ways as you get more acclimated. When I put out more records and also to put more visuals, actually begin to really understand it. But I think that it is something to be celebrated.”

A few months ago, Drake dropped a track dubbed “Search and Rescue” that sampled Kim Kardashian in which she spoke about her divorce from his rival, Kanye West. And now Ye’s estranged wife is seemingly having fun with the song as she continues to live her best and single life.
A new clip of Kim Kardashian attending Drake’s concert this past Sunday night (August 12) is going viral as the Reality TV star was captured reciting her own words on the song in which she stated “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that!” Enthusiastically reciting the quote to someone off camera, Kim seemed more than happy to have been a part of the Drake song.
You have to wonder if this stings Kanye West at all or if he’s perfectly content funking up his household with his new wife, Bianca Censor.
Regardless of how Kanye might feel, many fans were shocked to see Drake seemingly ignore his rumored fling later that night as he walked past her and didn’t so much as stop to acknowledge her presence.
While it seemed like he didn’t pay her any mind, we don’t know if the man winked at her or smiled as winked at her as how can any man not notice that Kool Aid smile she was shooting at him as he walked towards her. Just sayin.’
The video clip comes after Drake is apparently reigniting his beef with Kanye West and Pusha T just a year after the King of The North and the false prophet of MAGA nation “squashed” their beef and performed together at a benefit concert for Larry Hover. Having thrown subliminal shots at Kanye on “Circo Loco” and Pusha T (and Pharrell for some reason) on “Meltdown,” Drizzy seems to be ready to engage with his rivals once again for whatever reason.
Kanye and Pusha have remained mum on the disses, but will Kim having fun with her sample push Ye to the brink? We shall see.
What do y’all think? Let us know in the comment section below.

Back in March, a series of TikToks showcasing North West‘s love for “Munch” rapper Ice Spice took over the Internet.
There were clips of North and her friends dancing to Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood,” which peaked at No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, and videos of her cosplaying as the Bronx rapper and lip-syncing to her verse on the No. 3-peaking “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” (with PinkPantheress). Those videos have since been removed from North’s official social media pages, however, prompting endless online discussion about the parenting decisions of her parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West.
In an interview with Time magazine celebrating SKIMS’ inclusion on the publication’s 100 Most Influential Companies of 2023 list, Kardashian revealed why she made her daughter take down those Ice Spice TikToks.
The Kardashians star first encountered Ice Spice and her music through North. “I didn’t know who that was at the time, and I was like, ‘This is the moment where I feel really old, where my daughter is now teaching me what’s cool.’” The low-stakes Ice Spice listening sessions soon turned into Kardashian tapping the “Bikini Bottom” rapper to appear in a SKIMS campaign. “That all came through North and what she liked,” Kardashian added.
Somewhere between bumping Ice Spice’s music and having her appear in a SKIMS campaign, North actually got to make TikToks with Ice Spice herself. “[North] said, ‘Mommy, can I post this?’ I was out of town and my nanny was there and allowed it. As soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like ‘Oh, no, no. We’re taking this down,’” the mom of four said. “She totally understood, so I think that’s the trial and error sometimes.”
The media mogul also touched on her ex-husband’s role in all of this. “I saw on the Internet, ‘Kanye was right!’ And maybe he was, in that instance,” she said, “but in the creative side where she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, I will fight for her to be creative in those ways.”
