Breaking News:Social Media Thinks Kanye West “Owns” Taylor Swift After She Helped Him Make Millions Of Dollars During Super Bowl 58
Kanye West and Taylor Swift have been beefing for quite some time.
West is in the headlines as he claimed he made more than $19 million from his low-key Super Bowl LVIII ad.
In an era where traditional advertising methods are constantly being reevaluated, Kanye West’s recent Super Bowl commercial stands as a testament as he crafted his ad using an iPhone. He spent $7 million on a Super Bowl slot with a $0 production budget.
This bold move generated an astounding 284,357 orders for Yeezy, totaling $19.3 million in sales in less than 24 hours.
West took to Instagram and posted a screenshot of a text message, seemingly from his accountant, that breaks down the items sold, conversion rate, and total profit.
When he shared the text, he captioned, “The people have spoken.”
His fan base brought up Taylor Swift a ton in the comments.
“You own Taylor Swift,” wrote one fan.
“Six Taylor Swifts,” another echoed.
Swift and West’s tumultuous relationship started when he crashed her 2009 Video Music Awards acceptance speech and declared that Beyoncé “had one of the best videos of all time.”
Years later in 2016, West released his song “Famous,” which featured the line: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.”
Swift denied West’s claim that she had consented to the line so Kim Kardashian, West’s then-wife, leaked a recording of a phone call between West and Swift in which the singer-songwriter seemed to have approved the line.
