Kim lashed out accusing the ten-times Grammy Award winner of being “self-serving” for remarking on the video which was released last week of their infamous 2016 phone call.
The video showed an unedited version of their conversation and the hashtag, Kayne West is Over party, was trending on Twitter after it appeared to substantiate Swift’s version of events.
Kim criticised Swift for breaking her silence on the video earlier today, and tweeted: “@taylorswift13
has chosen to reignite an old exchange – that at this point in time feels very self-serving given the suffering millions of real victims are facing right now.”
The mother-of-four did not leave it there, and continued to tweet, accusing the You Need To Calm Down song-maker of “lying.”

“I didn’t feel the need to comment a few days ago, and I’m actually really embarrassed and mortified to be doing it right now, but because she continues to speak on it, I feel I’m left without a choice but to respond because she is actually lying,” she wrote.
She continued in a third tweet: “To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word “bitch” was used without her permission.”
A fourth tweet read: “At the time when they spoke the song had not been fully written yet, but as everyone can see in the video, she manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement when her team said she”

“‘declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.’ The lie was never about the word bitch, It was always whether there was a call or not and the tone of the conversation,” she continued in a FIFTH tweet.
Kim was not done with her extraordinary clapback, and continued: “I never edited the footage (another lie) – I only posted a few clips on Snapchat to make my point and the full video that recently leaked doesn’t change the narrative.”
“To add, Kanye as an artist has every right to document his musical journey and process, just like she recently did through her documentary,” she wrote.
Her EIGHTH tweet on the topic read: “Kanye has documented the making of all of his albums for his personal archive, however has never released any of it for public consumption & the call between the two of them would have remained private or would have gone in the trash had she not lied & forced me to defend him.”

She concluded with her ninth tweet in the space of two minutes, “This will be the last time I speak on this because honestly, nobody cares. Sorry to bore you all with this. I know you are all dealing with more serious and important matters.”
The reaction from her followers was mixed, with tweeters pointing out that Kim had spoken a lot more than Taylor about the feud.
Her biggest support came from her sister Khloe, who admitted her saw the flurry of tweets just as she was going to bed and said that her sister would be her “lawyer for life.”
The spat was reignited after fans finally got to see the unedited phone conversation between Kanye and the pop superstar four years after it occurred, the Jesus is King musician was blasted online for being the real “snake.”

Taylor broke her silence on the issue today after being continuously pestered for her reaction.
She wrote: “Instead of those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that was leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call*…
“You know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for 4 years… SWIPE UP to see what really matters.”
The Blank Space beauty then directed her 128 million Instagram followers to The World Health Organization and Feeding America websites which she has already made generous contributions to amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

“If you have the ability to, please join me in donating during this crisis,” she wrote alongside the link to the page.
Their iconic feud begun in 2009 after Kanye now-famously crashed the stage at MTV’s Video Music Awards when the fresh faced country star won Video of the Year for her smash hit You Belong With Me.
After seemingly burying the hatchet seven years later, the rapper called Taylor regarding a lyric from his song Famous.
In the controversial track, Kanye raps: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ I made that b***h famous.”

However, the new footage that leaked online showed that Taylor was not told about the second verse, in which he calls her a b***h.
The line was the subject of a statement she released immediately after the song came out in 2016 where she slammed Kanye for referring to her as the derogatory word.
Shortly after she posted the statement, 39-year-old Kim uploaded an edited version of the conversation to Snapchat which led to Taylor being “cancelled” and referred to as a “snake.”
In the full unedited clip, the Shake It Off hitmaker sounded nervous and uncomfortable before Kanye read her the changed lyric that did NOT include any mention of the word “b***h.”
Laughing in response, Taylor replied: “That’s not mean.”

Kanye then went on about her powerful fanbase: “That’s why I’m calling you because you got an army, you own a country of motherf**king two billion people basically.”
Taylor responded: “The thing about me is anything that I do becomes like a feminist thing for me, and if I launch it they’ll just turn it into something that… I think if I launch it, it will be less cool.
“Because having that many followers and having that many eyeballs on me right now, people are just looking for me to do something dumb or stupid or lame. I dunno, I kinda feel like people would try to make it negative if it came from me, do you know what I mean?” she added before the video cuts off.
While Kanye has yet to comment on the newly-released video, Kim liked a fan’s tweet that read: “The video showed nothing new. We all knew that. I’m so confused right now.”
