Justin Bieber appears to be #TeamKanye in the Kanye West-Taylor Swift feud.
The Biebs took to Instagram to share a picture of his FaceTime session with West, who was with two other people, and captioned it, "Taylor Swift what up." The black-and-white image shows Kanye with an ear-to-ear grin on his face, but there's no saying whether Justin made that joke during their call or if Kanye was just happy to chat with the "Love Yourself" crooner.
Ever since Kim Kardashian released the footage on Snapchat of Kanye running the lyrics to "Famous" by T.Swift, celebrities have either stayed out of the drama or have declared themselves #TeamTaylor or #TeamKimye. Although the dust seems to have settled since the bombshell news, Taylor has been staying out of the spotlight. She has been spotted in Australia with boyfriend Tom Hiddleston and now appears to be back in Los Angeles hitting the gym, but otherwise the "Style" songstress has been lying low.
Kanye, however, is doing anything but. At one of Drake's concerts recently, Kanye performed and managed to call out T.Swift while simultaneously praising his wife. "All I gotta say is, I am so glad my wife has Snapchat, because now y'all can know the truth and can't nobody talk s--t about 'Ye no more," he said.
After "Famous" was released in February, Swift's rep said the pop singer was "humiliated" and did not approve of the "I made that bitch famous" lyric, but Kanye and Kim claimed that Swift was playing the victim. Eventually, Kim had enough of the rumors and took control of the situation. The videos immediately went viral, causing the former country singer to release a statement on Instagram.
"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. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called 'that bitch' in front of the entire world," the 26-year-old singer-songwriter wrote. "Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did. While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot 'approve' a song you haven't heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that I have never asked to be a part of, since 2009."
With Kanye and Kim's lifting of the veil on "Famous," it appears stars are still taking sides in this musical feud.
