Kanye West is firing back at Taylor Swift fans who are trying to block him from a top spot on the music charts … telling them he’s not an enemy, though not exactly a friend either.
Here’s the deal … Swifties are calling on other Swifties to buy and stream Beyoncé‘s new country music to block Kanye’s new music from getting the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Kanye’s seen the “SWIFTIE EMERGENCY” on social media and now he’s firing back … and making some interesting counterpoints.

Ye says Swifties shouldn’t be coming after him because, in his mind, he’s been far more helpful than harmful to Taylor’s career. Kanye’s views in Wednesday’s post jibe with what he’s rapped about before … namely, “I made that b**** famous.”

Of course, T-Swift and Kanye have beefed ever since he crashed her 2009 VMA win to say Beyoncé had a better music video … although, Ye is of the belief the longstanding drama has actually elevated Taylor’s profile.
Here, Kanye also points out he was on Taylor’s side when Scooter Braun bought her master recordings of which her dad reportedly made $15 million from … and he says TayTay and Beyoncé are actually big inspirations to all musicians, including himself.
Kanye name-dropping Taylor on his new “Vultures” album seems to have opened up some wounds … but he says the album is actually super positive and fun.
Bottom line from Kanye to the Swifties … “I AM NOT YOUR ENEMY UUUM IM NOT YOUR FRIEND EITHER THOUGH LOL.”
