Ed Kelce Upset Over Kanye West's Mention Of Travis Kelce

Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston

Ed Kelce expressed his disapproval of Kanye West's mention of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift in his song 'Lifestyle (Demo).' West's lyric, 'I twist my Taylor spliffs tight at the end like Travis Kelce,' sparked controversy, with Ed Kelce calling it a display of 'mental illness.' The rapper, who has been open about his bipolar disorder, referenced the couple in a play on words.

Swift and Kelce, both 34, have not publicly responded to the name drop. However, Swift's fans speculated that her choice of attire during a recent concert hinted at a subtle response to West's mention. The pop star wore a T-shirt with the phrase 'I Bet You Think About Me,' which some fans interpreted as a possible clapback.

The history between Swift and West dates back to the infamous incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs when West interrupted Swift's acceptance speech. Despite subsequent public feuds, including West's controversial lyric about Swift in his song 'Famous,' the two artists have seemingly moved past their conflicts.
