Kanye West’s camp is refuting chatter that Taylor Swift had him “kicked out” of the Super Bowl.
The “Flashing Lights” rapper, 46, did not try to reignite his feud with the “Anti-Hero” singer, 34, by purchasing seats right in front of her suite at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, according to a representative for West.
“This is a completely fabricated rumor. It is not true,” the spokesperson told TMZ.
The statement comes after former Jets and Broncos player Brandon Marshall claimed that West had hoped to “leverage her celebrity” during the game.
“Typical Kanye. Taylor Swift gets pissed off — she boom-boom makes a call or two. Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out of the stadium,” the 39-year-old athlete, who played for several NFL teams between 2006 and 2018, said on his “Paper Route” podcast. “So now you gotta go back to the beef. You know, him cutting her off.”
West in 2009 infamously interrupted Taylor Swift on stage at the MTV VMA’s as she accepted the award for Best Video by a Female Artist and he said friend Beyoncé should have won instead. The artists’ feud inspired tracks on subsequent albums for each of them, and, in Swift’s case, much of the aesthetic linked to the so-called era of her 2017 album, “Reputation.”
West himself spoke to TMZ Monday about musicians and streaming platforms but, was “pretty lukewarm” when it came to talk of Swift, according to the outlet. Though he did not make any remarks about getting booted from his seats nor the stadium, West was reportedly photographed at the Super Bowl alongside his wife, Bianca Censori.
