Kanye West has announced that he and Taylor Swift will be making music together as they plan to head to the recording studio soon and become the newest collaboration to make the international headlines.
During an early morning radio interview with Ryan Seacrest, Kim Kardashian's husband revealed that he and Swift have set aside their feud at the recently concluded 2015 Grammys and decided to make music together.
"She wants to get in the studio - we definitely going to go in," West said. "I'm down to get in the studio and work. I don't discriminate, I don't have an elitism of music, because of how many Grammys or the amount of ratings you get on an album."
Following this announcement, Seacrest's radio show made the following tweet on their official Twitter page: "You heard it here first: @kanyewest and @taylorswift13 are going into the studio together!"
Dropping this West-Swift music collab news is likely to raise more than a few eyebrows as the rapper created an uproar last 2009 when he interrupted Swift's acceptance of the Video Music Awards for video of the year.
West took the microphone from the "Shake It Off' singer and pointed out that Beyoncé should have been onstage to accept the award as she had "one of the best music videos of all time". He then handed the mic back to Swift, who was clearly taken aback.
In his recent interview with Seacrest, the 37-year-old rapper claimed that Swift agreed with his decision to walk over to the Grammys stage and shortly offered the suggestion for them to collaborate.
"Taylor Swift came up to me right afterwards, literally right afterwards, and tells me that I should have went onstage," West said. "So, this is the irony of my life."
Aside from interrupting Swift's speech in 2009, West recently recreated history at the 2015 Grammys as he went up the stage and interrupted Beck's acceptance speech for Album of the Year award.
As the 44-year-old singer-songwriter was accepting the honors for his "Morning Phase' album, West walked to the stage and looked as though he was going to take the microphone from him. However, West walked away again and made no comment at all.
However, he did point out later that giving the award to Beck instead of Beyoncé was "disrespectful to inspiration".
In his interview with Seacrest, West said that he only wanted to goof off and referred to the whole thing as a "joke", as with what happened in the past with Swift.
"So, the voices in my head told me go, and then I just walked up, like, halfway up the stage ... But I just didn't really want to take away from Beck's moment, or the time he's having to talk," West said.
He further went on to express his disapproval of the event, stating: "It was kind of a joke - like the Grammys themselves".
West had not been to the awards ceremony for the past six years, explaining that he disagrees with the voting process used for determining awardees.
