“Famous”, released by West in February, contains the line, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex”.

Taylor Swift’s attorney issued a strongly worded letter to Kanye West’s lawyer months ago warning that his covert recording of their discussing his track “Famous” on the phone was a felony offense, TMZ reports.
The contested call re-entered public consciousness this week after Kardashian discussed the Swift-West feud on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and proceeded to leak the video footage in a series of Snapchat snaps, to the collective delight of Twitter.
The footage was apparently recorded by documentarians which West hires for the creation of all his albums, and shows excerpts of the conversation. It was on that phone call that Kanye West also asked her to release the song on her Twitter account, which she declined to do.
Seemingly everyone had an opinion about Kardashian’s move Sunday night to post videos of West speaking on the phone with Swift about his mention of her in the song “Famous” – a video to which Kardashian had previously alluded during an interview.
Taylor has never denied that conversation took place.
“I just had a responsibility to you as a friend”.
She knew he was trouble back in February – and reportedly even threatened legal action.
Many on social media took glee in the leaked audio recordings on Sunday, and suggested that it proved Swift had lied. “Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was going to call me “that bitch” in his song? It doesn’t exist because it never happened”, she wrote. “You don’t get to control someone’s emotional response to being called “that bitch” in front of the entire world … I wanted us to have a friendly relationship”, she continued. “Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination”.
And who better to light that fuse than USA reality TV star Kim Kardashian West?
