Glad my wife has Snapchat: Kanye West on Swift controversy

Los Angeles, Jul 29 (PTI) Kanye West is happy that his wife Kim Kardashian released the Snapchat video of him talking to Taylor Swift about the 'Famous' lyrics, saying now everyone knows the truth.

Swift had slammed West for using her name in the lyrics but West had claimed that she had given her permission to use her name, a fact initially denied by 'Blank Space' hitmaker.

The 39-year-old rapper, who made a surprise appearance during Drake's concert at the United Center in Chicago, performed 'Famous' at the gig, reported E! online.

"All I gotta say is, I am so glad my wife has Snapchat, because now y'all can know the truth," West told the crowd.

Kardashian shared 10 snapchat videos, which were filmed in January, showing West talking to Swift while he was in the recording studio to give her a heads-up that she would be name-dropped.

After "Famous" was released in February, Swift's rep said the pop singer was "humiliated" and did not approve of all the lyrics. West and Kardashian claimed that Swift was playing the victim.

Kardashian's Snapchat videos went viral, so Swift issued a statement via 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.

Swift said she wanted to like the song and West had promised to play the song for her but he did not do it.

"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."

Kardashian said she was tired of seeing her husband taking the heat for using Swift's name when she had already approved it. So, she decided to release the videos.
