Yesterday, Kanye West cause a bit of a commotion at his fashion and music event Yeezy Season 3 as he BLASTED Taylor Swift in his song Famous.
While the blonde beauty’s people don’t seem very pleased over the lyrics, and celebs have already taken sides, West seems to have his own explanation for what many see as a diss track.
