After the intriguing lyrics of the new "Famous" song of Kanye West which mentioned Taylor Swift, another controversy about West's meltdown is revealed in a leaked audio where he once again takes a swipe at Swift.
The "Only One" singer had a major tantrum at the backstage of Saturday Night Live where he performed "Highlights" and "Ultralight Beam" from his newly released album, The Life of Pablo. His meltdown was due to his disappointment that his stage was torn up since it caused issues on the cameras and it reflected the lights of the stage.
Page Six shared the audio where West was heard saying, "Look at that s--t, they took my f--kin' stage off SNL without asking me. Now I'm bummed. That and Taylor Swift. Fake ass. Now we're gonna do this. We're breaking the motherf--king Internet."
Aside from the "Blank Space" singer, West also mentioned other personalities. He proclaimed that he is “50 perfect more influential” than Stanley Kubrick, Paul the Apostle, and both Pablo Picasso and Pablo Escobar. “By 50 percent dead or alive ... by 50 percent for the next 1,000 years. Stanley Kubrick, ‘Ye,” he added, Consequence of Sound reported.
He then continued ranting to the NBC staffers by calling them as "white motherf--kers" and repeatedly said, "don't f--k with me." Although West proceeded with his performance, Us Weekly reported that everyone was talking about West's meltdown at the after party.
But the latest update says that the recording is taken out of context since it was edited. A source told People that it was "secretly recorded while he was venting his frustration in a private moment with his team" since the stage design was changed without him knowing.
The source also defended the star saying, "He had spent an entire day rehearsing and [put] a lot of hard work into the performance. Dramatic set changes were made 30 minutes before going live. It should be understandable why he was upset after being completely blindsided."
