Kanye West has decided to make Taylor Swift the star of his latest musical comedy show, proving once again that he’s the self-appointed referee of the pop culture wrestling ring. In his newest track, “Lifestyle,” the 47-year-old rapper has managed to fit Taylor Swift and her beau, NFL star Travis Kelce, into his lyrical circus.
Here’s a gem from Kanye’s lyrical genius: “I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce.” Yep, you heard that right. He’s comparing his skill at rolling… something, to the athletic prowess of a professional football player. Classic Kanye.
Naturally, after the song dropped like a clumsy meteor into the pop culture stratosphere, Travis Kelce’s dad, Ed Kelce, took to Facebook to roast Kanye like a marshmallow at a campfire. Ed’s post read, “Mental illness on full display,” because apparently, when you mix Kanye West, Taylor Swift, and Travis Kelce, you get a recipe for a reality TV show that hasn’t been invented yet.
For the uninitiated, Kanye’s been pretty open about his bipolar disorder, so this latest track is just another chapter in his ongoing saga of “What’s Kanye Up to Now?”
And as for Ed Kelce, it’s not his first rodeo. He’s already made it clear that he’s not a fan of anyone dissing Taylor and Travis. So buckle up—who knows who Kanye will be rapping about next? Maybe a remix featuring a celebrity penguin and a famous penguin trainer.
