Kanye West has again taken to social media to express his strong opinions.

This time, the rap music icon shared a thought-provoking screenshot on Instagram, sparking a heated discussion about music streams and sales.

Swifties Under Fire

The 46-year-old controversial rapper made a thought-provoking tweet urging followers of Taylor Swift to support the latest single by Beyonce titled "Texas Hold' Em."

He said in a lengthy Instagram post, "WHEN I SAID THAT I'M THE NEW JESUS BITCH I WASN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT. THAT WAS A WHOLE LINE BEFORE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FREE PROMO."

"LIL WAYNE ACTUALLY MENTIONS TRAVIS ON VULTURES 2. THIS ALBUM IS ACTUALLY SUPER POSITIVE AND FUN IT'S ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHANT."

The dad of four went on to say, "LAST YEAR WAS INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I'VE BEEN BANNED FROM HOTELS, KICKED OUT OF COMPANIES, AND EVEN NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN SOME RESTAURANTS."

Kanye declared, "EVERYONE SAW VULTURES 1 GET TAKEN OFF OF PLATFORMS TO LIMIT OUR FIRST WEEK NUMBERS. THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MISTREATMENT OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN."

The "Donda" rapper forcefully stated his initial allegiance to Taylor when the acquisition of her masters by Scooter Braun took place.

However, Kanye later expressed his profound admiration for both Beyonce and Taylor, emphasizing their role as significant sources of inspiration for artists.

"I'M SURE I'VE BEEN FAR MORE HELPFUL TO TAYLOR SWIFT'S CAREER THAN HARMFUL. TO ALL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY UUUM IM NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH LOL."

Kanye West also refuted any reports and suggestions that Taylor Swift had him "kicked out" from the recent Super Bowl games.

"I DIDN'T GET KICKED OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL WE LEFT OUR SEATS TO GO TO YG'S BOX AND SEE DIFFERENT FRIENDS. MY WIFE HAD NEVER BEEN TO A SUPER BOWL SO I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND HAVE A NICE TIME WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY," the "College Dropout" rapper claimed.

Kim's former husband then concluded with the statements, "THE MEDIA MAY CONTROL THE NARRATIVE BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN."

Better Than Taylor Swift?

The "All of the Lights" rapper took to his Instagram Stories on when he made an announcement that sent shockwaves through the music industry.

The tweet revolved around the rapper's recent achievement of surpassing his enemy Taylor Swift as the world's reigning top artist on Spotify.

While he claims he made the "Anti-Hero" singer famous, Kanye keeps rapping about her in his songs.

In one song that may have started their feud, Ye rapped in "Famous," "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous / I made that b***h famous."

In one of his recent musical collaborations, Kanye West joins forces with Ty Dolla $ign to create the album"Vultures 1."

In his latest song "Carnival," Kanye dropped Taylor's name again, rapping, "I made six Taylor Swift / since I had the new Rollie on the wrist / I'm the new Jesus b***h / I turn water into Crist."
