Kanye West just made a bold declaration about Taylor Swift, seemingly reigniting an old feud with the pop superstar.

On April 7, the Donda rapper, 47, took to X with a direct claim involving the “Shake It Off” songstress, 35.

In the now-deleted update, per Page Six, West claimed he was never tapped to headline at a Super Bowl halftime show because of his infamous spat with Swift.

“I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments,” he wrote. “George Bush don’t care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat.”

He continued, per Newsweek, “How it feel to be the best living and blocked from the main stage because of being ahead of my time. (And I mean all of this was before I went full Nazi of course).”

Before West deleted the X post, it accumulated more than 1.2 million views. Parade reached out to West’s rep but did not immediately hear back.

In 2009, West infamously interrupted Swift’s MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech to declare that Beyoncé should have won instead. Things heated up again when West name-dropped Swift in his track “Famous’ and then released an edited recording of a phone call with the singer talking about the song.

Kanye West Shares Regrets About Having Kids With Kim Kardashian

Kanye West called out his ex Kim Kardashian in a new interview, saying he didn’t want to have a family with her before going on to welcome kids North West, Saint West, Chicago West, and Psalm West.

Kanye West made a shocking admission about his family life.

Amid his ongoing feud with his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares North West, 11, Saint West, 9, Chicago West, 7, and Psalm West, 5 , the “Gold Digger” detailed his early relationship with the Kardashians star and how their relationship didn’t play out like he’d initially thought.

Indeed, when the podcaster DJ Akademiks told him, “When you speak about Kim, people might be like, ‘Well, you picked her. You put yourself in that,’” during an interview posted to X March 30, the Yeezy founder agreed. saying, “Absolutely, I did. That was my fault. No, that was my fault.”

“I didn’t want to have children with this person after the first two months of being with them,” Kanye, who wore a black Ku Klux Klan uniform throughout the interview, added, “but that wasn’t God’s plan.”

E! News has reached out to Kim Kardashian’s rep for comment and hasn’t heard back.

Elsewhere in the interview, the 47-year-old, whose divorce from Kim was finalized in November 2022, discussed his current dispute with Kim over the trademarking of their children’s names.

The point of contention first came to light earlier this month when Kanye shared a text message purporting to show Kim trying to block him from releasing “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” which features both North and Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently incarcerated as his sex trafficking case plays out.

“When my daughter was put on the song, that’s when I realized that I didn’t own their name and likeness,” Kanye—who’s married to Bianca Censori—explained. “I don’t have at least 50-50 with my kids, so how is it joint custody? My kids are celebrities, and I don’t have a say.” (For her part, in the texts shared by Kanye, Kim explained she had told him she’d trademarked North’s name and sent over paperwork, adding that the trademark goes to their eldest when she’s 18.)

“This white woman and this white family have the control of these highly influential Black kids that are half the kids of Ye,” he continued, “and that’s just in everybody’s face. They play in my face like that.”

Kanye went on to reiterate his opposition to Kim and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner family.

“It’s war!” he declared. “They think they’re too powerful.”

The “Jesus Walks” hitmaker also criticized his ex’s intentions when it comes to their four shared children.

“When you’re a celebrity, it starts to be about more what fame it’s going to get you, what clout it’s going to get you, what money it’s going to get you over, ‘Is this the right thing for your children?’” Kanye mused. “I’m willing to die for my children than to allow them to be in this environment that I know they’re in.”
