Kanye West and Taylor Swift discussing the lyrics to his 2016 track "Famous" over the phone, which was famously caught on camera by Kim Kardashian and later shared with the public to expose Taylor's hypocrisy, has leaked in full, and it looks like Kim and Kanye are the ones who need to be exposed. If you're unfamiliar with this decade-long beef, you may be living under a rock. The Taylor-Kanye feud is one of modern day pop culture's finest gems, and in 2016, Kim Kardashian was famously thrown into the mix as Kanye's partner in crime (and, of course, his wife).

After Taylor and Kanye finally made up following his acceptance speech interruption at the 2009 VMAs, it wasn't until about four years ago that their feud was reignited when Ye dropped the lead single "Famous" off of Life of Pablo in 2016. The lines, "I think me and Taylor might still have sex/Why? I made that b*tch famous" caused quite the controversy, and Taylor went on to play the victim (as usual). However, Kim Kardashian went on to share a snippet of the the phone conversation in which Kanye first told Taylor about the song, exposing Taylor for lying about not knowing that she would be mentioned on it. Here are the original clips of the phone call that Kim leaked back in 2016:
Taylor maintained that she only knew about the "sex" line and not the "b*tch" part, but she was deemed a "snake" by the public and promptly went into "hiding." She returned in 2017 with her comeback album, Reputation, where she took a few jabs at Kanye, and the rest is history...

Or so we thought. The full conversation between Kanye and Taylor has leaked online after all these years, and it turns out Taylor wasn't exactly lying after all. Kanye only actually tells her about the "controversial" line that jokes about them having sex, and never informs her that he'll be referring to her as "that b*tch" or claiming to have made her famous on the track.
Yikes. It's unclear who leaked it, although we wouldn't put it past Kim Kardashian to have done it herself just to stir sh*t up while everyone is bored at home right now. Do you think Kanye is guilty? Or was Taylor still acting like a snake?
Meek Mill No Longer Battling Concert Shooting Case After Final Lawsuit Gets Dismissed
Meek is officially done battling these cases out in court.
The events that took place outside of a 2016 Meek Mill concert in Connecticut, in which two young men by the names of Travis Ward and Jaquan Graves were shot and killed, lead to multiple lawsuits filed against Meek. The rapper has been battling these cases out in court for years, initially facing three separate lawsuits in connection with the incident. However, following the dismissal of Jaquan Graves’ family’s lawsuit earlier this month, it looks like Meek can officially put this whole tragedy behind him. According to The Blast, court documents state that the family of Travis Ward have dropped their case against Meek and dismissed all defendants.
All three lawsuits, which were filed against Meek, Live Nation, and the Oakdale Musical Theatre Company, had accused the defendants of negligence in hiring security. In one of the suits, the accusers even attempted to blame Meek’s lyrics in his music for inciting violence, citing that they were the cause for the “history of shootings at his shows.” At one point, the families offered to settle with Meek for $6 million dollars total. However, Meek did not accept, and has denied all allegations of wrongdoing. He argued his inability to have foreseen the shooting occurring, and denied any negligence when hiring security. He claimed that there were third parties involved who were outside of his control. In the Jaquan Graves case, he even pointed to the gunshot residue found on Daquan’s body, which would “indicate that [the victim had] discharged a firearm during the melee” as well.
