The rapper took to Instagram to call out Swift fans trying to block him from being at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, noting how he's 'been far more helpful to Taylor Swift's career than harmful.'

It seems like Travis Kelce isn't the only who was snubbed in Taylor Swift's Grammy acceptance speech. Turns out rapper Ye was a major contributor to her success, where was his shout-out?

Obviously, we're kidding on all counts, but in a recent Instagram post, Ye actually did give himself props for being "helpful" to the pop icon's career.


Swifties were rather outraged when Ye once again name-dropped the "Anti-Hero" singer in his song "Carnival" from his and Ty Dolla $ign’s new album Vultures 1.

If that wasn't enough, though, fans were also upset that the rapper boasted on social media about overtaking Swift for one single day on Global Spotify.

On Wednesday, Ye again dragged Swift into his social media, but this time it was in response to a Swiftie's attempt to keep Ye from reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The fan wrote:

"SWIFTIE EMERGENCY 🚨🚨🚨"
"Beyoncé's 🐝👑 new single 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' is challenging Kanye West ☠️ for a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100."
"Let's BUY AND STREAM 'TEXAS HOLD 'EM' to block him from the top spot!!!"
“REMEMBER he just DRAGGED Taylor on his latest Instagram story"

Ye posted a screenshot of the message and wrote in all caps:

"WHEN I SAID THAT I’M THE NEW JESUS B*TCH I WASN’T EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAYLOR SWIFT"
"THAT WAS A WHOLE LINE BEFORE BUT I APPRECIATE THE FREE PROMO"
"LIL WAYNE ACTUALLY MENTIONS TRAVIS KELSEY ON VULTURES 2"

He continued that the album was meant to be "triumphant" after enduring a rough year.

"THIS ALBUM IS ACTUALLY SUPER POSITIVE AND FUN IT’S ALL ABOUT TRIUMPHANT"
"LAST YEAR WAS INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING FOR ME, MY WIFE, MY CHILDREN, FRIENDS AND FAMILY"
"I’VE BEEN BANNED FROM HOTELS, KICKED OUT OF COMPANIES, AND EVEN NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IN SOME RESTAURANTS"
"EVERYONE SAW VULTURES 1 GET TAKEN OFF OF PLATFORMS TO LIMIT OUR FIRST WEEK NUMBERS"
"THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MISTREATMENT OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN"

Ye then went on to say he's always been Team Taylor and has been "more helpful" than "harmful" to her career.

"REMEMBER I WAS ON TAYLOR’S SIDE WHEN SCOOTER BOUGHT HER MASTERS BEHIND HER BACK"
"SHE AND BEYONCÉ ARE BIG INSPIRATIONS TO ALL MUSICIANS WE ALWAYS SAY HOW BOTH SELL OUT TOURS AND MOVIES"
"ALSO, I’M SURE I’VE BEEN FAR MORE HELPFUL TO TAYLOR SWIFT’S CAREER THAN HARMFUL"
"TO ALL TAYLOR SWIFT FANS I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY UUUM IM NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH LOL"

He also felt the need to address rumors that he and his wife Bianca Censori were forced to leave the Super Bowl on Sunday.

"ALSO I DIDN’T GET KICKED OUT OF THE SUPER BOWL WE LEFT OUR SEATS TO GO TO YG’S BOX AND SEE DIFFERENT FRIENDS"
"MY WIFE HAD NEVER BEEN TO A SUPER BOWL SO I WANTED TO WALK AROUND AND HAVE A NICE TIME WE HAD SUCH A FUN DAY"

Many viewers of Ye's post expressed it's him... (hi) he's the problem.



They also believe it's time to let it go.







The new tracking period for the Billboard Top 100 ended Thursday, and the new rankings will be announced early next week.

Stay tuned!

Dem Rep. Hilariously Trolls Trump Official For Having No Idea How Solar Power Works In Viral Clip

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum was trolled by California Democratic Representative Jared Huffman after he, testifying before the House Natural Resources Committee, seemed to think solar panels are unreliable because they don't work when the sun goes down.

The sun produces heat and light through solar, or electromagnetic, radiation. Solar energy technologies capture that radiation and convert it into usable power. The two primary forms of solar technology are photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP).
