Kanye’s Shocking Claims Spark Outrage

In an hours-long rant on X (formerly Twitter), West accused Swift of engaging in a sexual relationship with both Bieber and Styles simultaneously—without offering any evidence. “I’ll show you an example of racism. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles f—-d Taylor Swift from both sides and didn’t call me,” he wrote. He continued with disturbing comments, including, “I’M MAD I HAVEN’T F—-D TAYLOR SWIFT … YET.” The posts have since been deleted, but not before going viral and causing public outcry.

Swift Takes Legal Action

According to sources cited by Daily Mail, Swift has had enough. A cease and desist letter has reportedly been sent to West, demanding he immediately stop spreading defamatory and sexually harassing content about her. “This isn’t just gossip. This is [West] sexually harassing a woman, defaming her and intending to cause harm to her and to her career,” a source said, adding that West has “gone too far this time.”

Reviving an Old Feud

Kanye also claimed his infamous moment with Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs was part of why he never landed a Super Bowl halftime show. He added, “I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments… The Taylor Swift moment.”

Despite the ongoing feud, Swift has largely remained silent. However, she once described the VMA incident as a “mass public shaming” that had a lasting impact on her mental health.
