9. Kanye West vs. Everyone
Oh Kanye, when will you ever learn? Definitely not one to shy away from drama, Kanye West has been involved in a number of celebrity feuds throughout his career. From Wiz Khalifa, to Justin Timberlake, it seems nobody is safe from the wrath of West. However, with his most famous spat involving that of pop singer Taylor Swift, the feud has entertained fans and the media alike for a number of years.
Beginning in 2009, at the MTV Video Music Awards, West stormed the stage in protest that the then 19-year-old Swift had won the Best Female Video award. Interrupting her acceptance speech, West famously began to proclaim “yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” Admitting that he may have been a little harsh, West subsequently apologized, however it wasn’t the end, with the feud filtering in and out of their lives ever since.
Trading insults through song, the pair somewhat buried the hatchet again, until Kanye put his foot in it once more by writing rude and vulgar song lyrics about Taylor in his song ‘Famous’. Stating that he’d had her approval on the song’s eventual text, Taylor out-right denied any knowledge of the tune whatsoever. And, just when we thought it was all over, in comes Kim Kardashian saying that Taylor did indeed know about the song lyrics, providing a recorded message to prove it. Scandalous!
