Kanye West rants against Taylor Swift over lyric controversy

In 'Famous', West has used expletive language to describe his infamous run-in with Swift during the 2009 MTV VMA's when he had disrupted the up and coming singer's acceptance speech to say that the trophy should have gone to Beyonce.

The two later made up and became friends. West recently said he had Swift's blessing to go ahead with the song, a claim rejected by the 'Blank Space' hitmaker, who called the song 'misogynistic'. West has now taken to Twitter to rant against Swift, while accusing her of lying.
"First thing is I am an artist and as an artist I will express how I feel with no censorship," West tweeted.
"2nd thing I asked my wife for her blessings and she was cool with it. 3rd thing I called Taylor and had a hour long convo with her about the line and she thought it was funny and gave her blessings," he continued.
"... I am not even gone take credit for the idea, it's actually something Taylor came up with.
"She was having dinner with one of our friends who's name I will keep out of this and she told him. I can't be mad at Kanye because he made me famous! FACTS."

Twitter to encash millions of logged-out users


Millions of visitors who access Twitter's news, events, and entertainment updates through its home page, and those who access tweets through Google search, are among Twitter's biggest missed revenue opportunities.


Now the company is planning to attempt to make money off people who do not log in, Digital Trends reported.

According to an estimate, around 500 million people view and consume Twitter content every month without ever logging in.

While these visitors have been considered a potential revenue stream in the past, it was only recently that the company policy makers zeroed in on them as an earning source.

"We also are monetising logged-out users across the network. This is the first time that we've been doing that. It's going to come in handy as we also begin to run a pilot here in Q4 for on-Twitter logged out monetisation," COO and revenue chief Adam Bain was quoted as saying.
