Kanye West has hit back at claims he was booted out of the Super Bowl stadium by Taylor Swift.
No, the year is not 2009 or 2016, it is 2024 and a new feud story between the pair has been ignited.
Sunday’s (11 February) Super Bowl was, as always, a celebrity-packed event with a whole lot of attention on Swift thanks to her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce.

And while she was joined in the Kelce box by the likes of Blake Lively, Ice Spice and Lana Del Rey, there are rumours another big name was meant to be sat very nearby.
There’s claims West bought himself seats right in front of Swift’s booth which obviously, would’ve been pretty awkward.
The ‘Jesus Walks’ rapper and ‘Midnights’ singer have long had tension, with West’s infamous speech-crashing at the 2009 VMAs when he thought Beyoncé should’ve won instead of Swift.
And in 2016, he released the track ‘Famous’ where he said: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that b*tch famous.”
An interview with Swift in TIME last year, revealed she felt the public fallout was like a ‘career death’ and the whole thing took her ‘down psychologically’.
So, with existing feuds between the pair, former NFL player Brandon Marshall claimed on The Paper Route podcast that he’d heard West purposely bought seats right in front of her.
He claims the rapper was trying to upstage her as anytime they’d show Swift on the cameras, ‘Kanye’s face was going to be there’.
But Marshall alleges that when the ‘Love Story’ singer got wind of Ye’s plan, she shot it down.
“He’s got a mask on with his logo on the mask - typical Kanye. Taylor Swift gets p**sed off, she boom boom makes a call or two,” the former NFL player claims.
“Everybody’s involved. He gets kicked out the stadium!”
It’s not clear where Marshall got this information from, and it’s also worth saying he started off his story by getting Swift mixed up with Katy Perry - leading you to wonder what else he might have got wrong.
West has denied these allegations, with one of his reps telling TMZ: “This is a completely fabricated rumour. It is not true.”
Whether he was in his intended seat or not, the rapper was in attendance at the Super Bowl in Vegas, wearing a black mask with a white crucifix on it.
