Kanye fans tally 700,000 ‘Hey Mama’ streams to protest Taylor Swift

[TCHIKITAH 2,810]

 

“The plan started with a far-flung idea back in August: If enough West die-hards banded together and played one song on repeat the day of Taylor Swift‘s album release, they could potentially hamper her opening numbers on Spotify‘s streaming chart. West and Swift have a nearly decade-long rivalry at this point, stemming all the way back to the 2009 VMAs when West interrupted Swift’s acceptance speech, and continuing up to the present era of snake emoji. Earlier this year, Swift quietly weaponized streaming herself by relaunching her entire discography on the same day that her other professional nemesis—Katy Perry—released her new record. So to West’s fans, a counter-stream might have seemed like an opportunity to give Swift a taste of her own music industry medicine”

from the fan:

“Basically, Taylor Swift has released a Kanye diss track, taken shots at Kim’s Paris robbery, and has stolen Kanye’s font and cover art style for her new album Reputation. Most importantly she is planning on releasing it on the anniversary of Kanye’s mother, Donda West’s death — November 10. […] Please all share this around to get as wide a reach as possible and outstream Taylor, simultaneously showing respect for Donda and utmost support for Kanye himself”

And to think i had the idea that KW's fans were mature about this but this type of stunt proves otherwise.

Some of those points (mainly the Reputation release date) are a stretch, but time to join them in streaming 

[Chic 20,830]

Seriously? lol. Most of their "reasons" were assumptions and largely unfounded. The diss track should be enough of a justification if they do believe that.

[Anderson123 38,613]

Lol fanbases can get a little bit too pathetic sometimes.

Kanye has a worse reputation™ than Taylor. Doubt the GP or anyone besides his fans will care enough to do this. 

[YourWhiskyMouth 4,014]

This level of delusion reminds me of another fan base.. 🤔

I can’t quite put my paw on it  

[FGGrayson 9,670]

welp, time to help KW, if only KatyCats knew

[Yuuri 21,636]

Maybe then Kayne can get another hit song.

"taken shots at Kim’s Paris robbery"

"has stolen Kanye’s font"

"and cover art style for her new album Reputation."

"Most importantly she is planning on releasing it on the anniversary of Kanye’s mother, Donda West’s death — November 10"

And what will that prevent? Taylor from going #1?

Cute
