After Kanye West went on a social media spree slamming Taylor Swift and legendary music producer Bob Ezrin Tuesday night, The Life of Pablo rapper took to the stage at Los Angeles' 1OAK where he once again aired his thoughts on T.Swift, Amber Rose, Beck and more.

Kanye addressed everything that had been on his mind, even mentioning that his ex-girlfriend once claimed she stuck his fingers up his you-know-what. While on stage Tuesday night, Kanye cleared the air.

"She ain't never stick her fingers in my ass," he yelled. "I don't play like that."

Kanye quickly moved on from discussing the controversial feud he had with Rose a couple of weeks ago to discussing other issues that had been on his mind. His primary focus was the "disrespect" he as an artist has faced in the music industry. After Kanye released "Famous" and the Swifties responded to some of the songs lyrics that claimed he was responsible for her fame, he came out and said he asked Swift for permission.

But then the "Style" singer took to the stage at this year's Grammys and threw some serious shade at Kanye. Now the "Flashing Lights" performer is responding to the 26-year-old pop star.

"I called Taylor," Kanye said from the stage. "I said, 'Look, Taylor, I talked to my wife about it,' and I said, 'How do you feel about this line, Taylor?' I was like, 'Taylor, me and you might still have sex,' and she was like, 'Ooh, Kanye, I like that line.'"

Then he addressed her Grammys response. "Then she won and said something completely different," he said. "She ain't cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool and she f--ked it up."

Kanye and Taylor have been butting heads since the 2009 MTV VMAs when he claimed Beyoncé should've won for "Single Ladies," and it seems he still has Bey's back.

"Beyoncé dropped that 'Drunk in Love' and you're all like, 'Oooh.' And then y'all just accept that she didn't win," he said. "Why? Because she got money?"

He later referenced the point Ezrin made about Macklemore being a better artist and once again said the "Thrift Shop" performer is a "nice guy" but isn't up there with the likes of Kanye.

The Yeezus rapper also brought up another musician, Beck, in his rant and claimed that no one had really listened to his album even though he won at the 2015 Grammys for Album of the Year. Last year Kanye sounded off to E! News on Beck's big win.

"I don't know what he said, all I know is if the Grammys want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us," he said. "We ain't gonna play with them no more. 'Flawless,' Beyoncé's video. Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it."

One year later, Kanye still hasn't let Beck's win go. And he hasn't let T.Swift go, either. Watch the video to hear everything Kanye has to say.
