Years after "Famous" released the full phone call leaked where Kanye West said he got approval from Taylor Swift. In this phone call it is shown that Kanye West did not say that he will call her a 'bitch' validating Taylor's earlier response saying that she never approved the lyrics on "Famous"
During the call, Kanye West informs Taylor Swift about lyrics he wrote that reference her in an upcoming song. He first mentions the line "I feel like Taylor Swift might owe me sex" and later reveals an alternative version: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex." West explains that his wife Kim Kardashian preferred the former version, while he had concerns about potential feminist criticism of both versions.
Swift responds that neither version seems "mean" to her, saying the lyrics are "edgy" but not offensive. She notes that feminists might criticize the lines but acknowledges that West doesn't seem concerned about such criticism. Swift expresses appreciation for West consulting her before releasing the lyrics.
A significant portion of the conversation involves West discussing his financial situation. He reveals being in "personal debt" of approximately "$20-30 million" despite his success and celebrity status. West describes financial challenges following his fashion endeavors and mentions telling this information to venture capitalist Ben Horowitz and others in the technology industry, including references to Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook.
West expresses ambitions to become a "multi-multi-multi-billionaire" despite his current debt. He compares his willingness to discuss financial troubles to Charlie Sheen's public disclosure of personal issues, suggesting it shows vulnerability rather than weakness.
West positions himself as a cultural innovator, describing himself as "the microprocessor of our culture" and claiming credit for creating "the genre of music that is The Weeknd, that is Drake." He states that his album "The College Dropout" is influential to contemporary musicians.
Kanye discusses his ability to shape culture through design, fashion, and music, referencing his influence on his wife's acceptance in the fashion world and his capability to create trends that last "five years after the entire globe."
The conversation references their history, particularly the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) where West received the Video Vanguard Award from Swift. West talks about announcing his run for president during his acceptance speech after receiving the award from Swift, calling the moment "wavy" and "viby." He explains that he had planned certain elements of his speech, including mentions of marijuana and his presidential ambitions.
Swift talks about the significant attention this moment received, mentioning that her Instagram post of flowers West sent her afterward received 2.7 million likes, her highest engagement at that time.
Both artists discuss challenges they face in the music industry, particularly regarding recognition. Swift mentions how industry peers are sometimes reluctant to acknowledge their achievements, saying "even if we've made an incredible achievement, it's harder for people to write down our name for some reason." West agrees, attributing this to "human nature" and "envy."
West also mentions disputes with Nike, referencing lyrics criticizing the company in his song "Facts." He expresses frustration with corporations that wouldn't give him equity or creative contro.
