Kanye West has blasted fellow musician Taylor Swift in an on-stage rant.

Proving that their feud is far from over, the rapper has claimed that the pop star is no longer ‘cool’ after she hit out at him for using a lyric about her in one of his songs.

Swift has since denied okaying the lyric and made a thinly-veiled reference to West when she picked up the award for Album of Year at the Grammys.

During a recent show at 1OAK in LA, West told the crowd: “I called Taylor, I played her, I told her, look I said ‘Taylor I talked to my wife about it’ and I said ‘how do you feel about this rhyme, Taylor?’”

“I was like, 'Taylor I feel like me and you might still have sex'. She said 'ooh, Kanye, I like that line'.”

West continued: “Then she won her award and said something completely different. She ain’t cool no more. She had two seconds to be cool and she f***ed it up.”

While West maintains that Swift was fine with the line in new song Famous, her rep has said that she told him it was ‘misogynistic’.

She also alluded to the lyric that he ‘made her famous’ at the Grammys, telling the crowd:

“There are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame.”
