Kanye West Posts On Social Media, Apologizes To Kamala Harris And Follows Taylor Swift – HuffPost
Associate ReporterYe, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, went on a posting spree on X, formerly called Twitter, on Saturday, where he shared a screenshot of texts between him and Elon Musk, announced that he only follows Taylor Swift on Instagram and said he doesn’t want to “f**k” former Vice President Kamala Harris following her loss in last year’s election.“I used to want to fuck Kamala until she lost,” Ye wrote in a since-deleted post, according to Newsweek. “I don’t fuck losers anymore.”In a follow-up post, he said, “The democrats made me take the loser post down. Naw I’m kidding. Dey don’t control black people no more. Trump 4 life.”After that, he shared another post directed at Harris, writing, “Kamala seems like a very nice human I just wanna say sorry to her kids.”Ye was reinstated on X in 2023 after he was banned a year prior for posting a picture of a swastika entangled with a Star of David. On Saturday, Ye also gave thanks to the Grammys for nominating his song, “Carnival,” at this year’s ceremony, before going on to write in another post on the social media platform that he “can say whatever the fuck” he wants. As for Ye’s post regarding Swift, some fans of the pop star are upset that he’s following her on Instagram considering her complicated relationship with the rapper.Ye and Swift have had a long-standing feud since he interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. They briefly made up when Swift presented Ye with the Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs, but things turned sour the next year when he released his song, “Famous,” which included the lyrics, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.”When Swift claimed Ye never told her about the lyrics before he released the song, his wife at the time, Kim Kardashian, shared an edited clip of a phone call between Swift and Ye that suggested Swift approved the lyrics. Shortly after, Swift responded to the clip on social media, writing, “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me ‘that bitch’ in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened.” The next four years will change America forever.
