Still, the couple’s marriage has not always been a walk in the park. In 2016, the marriage got more eventful than they bargained for. The couple got in to a big, public dispute with Taylor Swift, Kim was robbed in Paris and Kanye had a mental breakdown.
The much talked about quarrel between Taylor Swift and Kimye, started way back in 2009, when Swift at the age of 19, won a VMA award for best music video. Kanye was outraged, stormed the stage and claimed that Beyoncé had one of the best music videos of all time. After this, things have gone from though, to tougher, with the one conflict after another.
In 2016, Kanye released the song «Famous», where he raps «I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous ».
The criticism did not wait, but Kanye defended himself by saying that he had clarified it all with Swift, in an hour-long telephone conversation. Surely, Swift was of another opinion. According to her, she had never accepted the use of either “bitch” or the stanza that said “I made that bitch famous.” Later on, Kim enters the public discussion, claiming that the conversation between Kanye and Taylor had been recorded.
In 2020 the unedited version of the conversation between Kanye and Taylor was released, which showed a slightly different side than what Kardashian had stated back in 2016. In the video, Kanye only records parts of the lyrics, but not the part where he calls her “bitch”, and then takes credit for that she is famous.
