Kanye West deletes X account after parting Taylor Swift diss

Kanye West has deleted his X account after a days-long outburst - but not before taking a parting shot at longtime nemesis Taylor Swift.

Kanye West deleted his X account today after taking a parting shot at his longtime nemesis, Taylor Swift.

Along with a series of new antisemitic messages, the rapper dissed the pop star before removing himself from the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.

“IF ITS ABOUT THE CULTURE … WHY ARE WE LETTING TAYLOR SWIFT BE SEEN ON TV SINGING A SONG ABOUT TAKING A BLACK MAN DOWN AND ACCUSING OF THINGS THAT CAN TAKE A BLACK MAN DOWN FOR LIFE,” he wrote before his account went dark.

West added, “KENDRICK IS BEING USED BY THESE WHITE PEOPLE AND JEWS AND SO AM I.”

Kanye West reignited his feud with Taylor Swift before deleting his X account.

Ye, 47, was referring to Swift, 35, being spotted dancing to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss trackNot Like Us in the audience at the 2025 Grammys last week.

Swift and Lamar, who headlined Sunday’s Super Bowl halftime show, famously collaborated on a 2014 remix of her hit Bad Blood.

West concluded his hateful X post by writing, “AS I TWEET IN CODE WORDS AND KISS ELONS ASS AND BEG HIM TO NOT CANCEL MY ACCOUNT.”

Ye said it was “very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board” before “logging off” his X account.

In separate posts, the Yeezy founder — who has been vocal about his autism and bipolar disorder diagnoses — claimed he was mentally “in a good space” and that it had been “very cathartic to use the world as a sounding board” before “logging out” of his X account.

West’s beef with Swift dates back to 2009, when he infamously interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards.

West claimed at the time that Swift, who was just 19, did not deserve the award for Best Female Video for You Belong With Me over Beyoncé’s Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).

While the Grammy winners appeared to bury the hatchet, they became embroiled in another public spat when West name-checked Swift in his 2016 song Famous.

In the tune, West rapped the lyrics, “For all my Southside n***as that know me best / I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b***h famous.”

Swift claimed she had never given West permission to use her name in the song, though an audio recording of the singer and the producer’s phone conversation released by his then-wife, Kim Kardashian, proved otherwise.

Swift then clarified that she had agreed to West mentioning her in the song but did not sign off on him referring to her as a “bitch.”

West went on several antisemitic, racist and homophobic tirades this past week, proclaiming that he is a Nazi and loves Adolf Hitler.

“Im never apologising for my Jewish comments. I can say whatever the f**k I wanna say forever,” he wrote last Friday on X, nearly three years after being cancelled for spewing Jew-hatred.

He also stated, “Any Jewish [person] that does business with me needs to know I don’t like or trust any Jewish person amd [sic] this is completely sober with no Hennesy [sic].”

A source subsequently told Page Six that Kardashian, 44, found West’s rant “disturbing” and was “staying far away from [him] at this point and wants nothing to do with his drama.”

Their feud dates back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

Meanwhile, Jewish actor David Schwimmer called upon Musk to delete West’s X account, writing, “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile … but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. Musk.”

In another unhinged rant last week, West admitted to having “dominion” over his wife, Bianca Censori, after she walked the Grammys red carpet wearing a completely see-through dress with nothing underneath.

“She’s with a billionaire why would she listen to any of you dumb ass broke b****es,” he asked on X. “Yes I don’t make her do nothing she doesn’t want to but she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my approval you stupid woke ass pawns.”
