Why hasn’t someone taken his Twitter password away yet?
Another day of T.L.O.P. promo, another Kanye West Twitter story: Earlier today, we reported that Taylor Swift declined approval of West’s ‘Famous’, which includes the lyric: “I feel like Taylor and I could still have sex.” West has now taken to Twitter to dismantle this story and describe some of the creative process behind it, so to speak.
Read his tweets below, which detail his feelings about the watering down of rap, as well as some reflection on last night’s Yeezy Season 3 event.
