Kanye West makes a subtle dig at his feud with Taylor Swift : ‘Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why’

Kanye West made a subtle dig to his and wife Kim Kardashian’s feud with Taylor Swift during another rambling Twitter rant on Friday.

The rapper, 43, took to his social media to share an array of snaps and concept designs from his upcoming fashion ranges, as well as share his thoughts on a variety of topics with seemingly no correlation to one another.

In one such post, Kanye shared a picture of a snake at his Wyoming ranch before writing: ‘Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why… I’m not sure if Christians are allowed to use snake emojis’.

‘Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why’: Kanye West made a subtle dig at his feud with Taylor Swift in ANOTHER rambling Twitter rant on Friday (pictured in 2015)

During their feud Kanye’s wife Kim had called Taylor a ‘snake’ when the Lover singer claimed she had ‘no idea’ Kanye would call her a ‘b****’ in his song Famous, which was released in 2016.

Kim shared a clip at the time which showed Kanye consulting Taylor about whether he could use the line ‘I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex’, suggesting Taylor had lied about being forewarned about the song.

The backlash Taylor received from Kim’s claim is thought to be the part of the reason behind why she took a hiatus from music shortly after. 

Long-standing feud: The pair have been at odds for more than ten years, and Taylor previously said Kanye and wife Kim made her go ‘through hell for four years’ (pictured 2019)

Unkind: During their feud Kanye’s wife Kim had called Taylor a ‘snake’ when the Lover singer claimed she had ‘no idea’ Kanye would call her a ‘b****’ in his song Famous 

A representative for Taylor said in 2016: ‘Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single Famous on her Twitter account. 

‘She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, “I made that b**** famous”.’

However, a clip that surfaced on social media in March appeared to show that Kanye didn’t consult Taylor about the ‘b****’ lyric, and only asked her about the other line in the song, which was previously mentioned by Kim.

In the leaked footage that was released in March, Kanye was seen informing Taylor he is writing a song about her and asking her if she could hype it up by tweeting about it. 

Kanye tells her: ‘It has a very controversial line at the beginning of the song about you.’

Kanye then told Taylor she ‘sounded sad’, and the singer questioned if the lyrics were ‘mean’, at which point he reassured her that he didn’t think they were.  

He then says the lyric: ‘To all my Southside n***as that know me best / I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex.’

Taylor laughs and says: ‘That’s not mean.’ 

Kanye goes on: ‘If you felt that it’s funny and cool and hip hop, and felt like it’s the College Dropout and Ye that you love, people would be way into it, and that’s why I think it’s super genius to have you be the one that says, ‘Oh I like this song a lot… this is cool.’ Kanye West and Taylor Swift’s phone call about ‘Famous’ lyric leaksLoaded: 0%Progress: 0%0:00PreviousPlaySkipMuteCurrent Time0:00/Duration Time1:44FullscreenNeed Text

‘Framed’: Just days after the alleged full audio of her phone conversation with Kanye leaked, Taylor shared that she felt ‘vindicated’ as it proved she was ‘telling the truth the whole time’

Taylor then said: ‘I’m glad it’s not mean, though. It doesn’t feel mean. But oh my God, the buildup you gave it, I thought it was going to be like, ‘That stupid, dumb b****.’ But it’s not..’

Taylor then tells Kanye she needs some time to think about it, adding: ‘When you hear something for the first time you need to think about it, because it is absolutely crazy.’ 

There was no mention Kanye would call her a ‘b***h’ or suggest he ‘made her famous’ during the phone call.

Fatherly love: During his Twitter rant on Friday Kanye shared a number of photos with fans, including one of daughter North, seven, about to try surfing for the first time

Rant: He then went on to try out a number of emojis, claiming that people didn’t use the ones he’d selected -which included a shirt and a beefeater amongst others- as much as others

Working hard: The rapper also shared concept designs from his upcoming fashion ranges

Amusing: Over a snap from the family’s Wyoming residence, he added: ‘The ranch actually came with acres and a mule… we shaved the alpaca’

Thoughts: Kanye also shared a snap of miniature people sat on a makeshift block that made it look like they were sunbathing, and he wrote: ‘Can’t wait to chill like this’

The start: Their feud began when the rapper jumped onstage as Taylor accepted her Video of the Year Award during the 2009 MTV VMAs and insisted Beyonce deserved the award instead

The feud between Kanye and Taylor was sparked when he invaded the stage during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when Taylor was honoured for Video of the Year. 

Following the release of Famous, Taylor took a hiatus from the music scene.

Taylor has previously spoken about the extreme ‘isolation’ she felt and the attacks she endured in the weeks after Kardashian likened her to a ‘snake’. 

‘A mass public shaming, with millions of people saying you are quote-unquote cancelled, is a very isolating experience,’ said Swift.

‘I don’t think there are that many people who can actually understand what it’s like to have millions of people hate you very loudly.’ 

Taylor Swift and Kanye West: A look back at their 10 years of Bad Blood

Taylor Swift has hinted that she will never make amends with Kanye West as she branded him ‘two-faced’ and claimed that she used to seek approval from him when he disrespected her. 

Now MailOnline has taken a look back at the decade-long feud that appears to show no signs of being resolved anytime soon. 

Although the pair’s feud came to a head in 2016 with an all-out Twitter war that saw Taylor and Kanye fans divided, the pair’s falling out is far more complicated than it once appeared to be.

SEPTEMBER 2009 

The feud begins, seemingly out of the blue, when 19-year-old Taylor was at the MTV Video Music Awards, accepting the Best Female Video award for You Belong with Me. 

Suddenly, in the middle of her acceptance speech, Kanye jumped on the stage, grabbed the microphone out of her hands and bellowed: ‘Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!’

In a bid to diffuse the tension, Beyonce later called Taylor up on stage when she won Video of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), and allowed the country music star a moment in the spotlight. 

SEPTEMBER 2010 

A year after the infamous incident, Kanye apologises in a lengthy tweet, as he penned ‘I’m sorry, Taylor/ We’re both artists, and the media and managers are trying to get between us. 

‘She deserves the apology more than anyone. Thank you [Twitter co-founders] Biz Stone and Evan Williams for creating a platform where we can communicate directly.

AUGUST 2015

It appeared the pair were getting on, and Kanye seemed to be joking by announcing ‘You know how many times they announced Taylor was going to give me the award ’cause it got them more ratings?’

However, Taylor has since announced that his statement truly irked her, as he made out in public that it was for ratings, but in private, asked her to be on stage with him as it would ‘mean so much’. 

Taylor told Rolling Stone in 2019: ‘I’m standing in the audience with my arm around his wife, and this chill ran through my body. I realized he is so two-faced. 

‘That he wants to be nice to me behind the scenes, but then he wants to look cool, get up in front of everyone and talk s**t. And I was so upset.’

Taylor hits back, claiming that although Kanye spoke through some aspects of the lyrics, she did not consent to being referred to as a ‘b***h’ in the song, 

After that Taylor said she felt publicly shamed and ‘cancelled,’ most of the 2017 album Reputation was aimed at her experience during the ordeal.

She tells Elle magazine: ‘I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. 

‘The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.’
