Kanye West takes swipe at Taylor Swift as he finds giant snake on his ranch

Kanye West appeared to take a fresh swipe at Taylor Swift as he discovered a giant snake slithering around his Wyoming ranch on Friday.

The 43-year-old rap star has a long running feud with 29-year-old pop babe Taylor – and some fans feel the pair have been ramping up their attacks on each other again in recent weeks.

On Friday, Kanye took to Twitter to reveal he had discovered a giant snake at his ranch – uploading a photo of the reptile being picked up with a metal device.

The image showed the snake being grabbed by the neck by the device as it slithered its way over the gravel outside the star’s Wyoming ranch.

Sharing the image online, the star wrote: “Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why ... “

He added: “I’m not sure if Christians are allowed to use snake emojis.”

Many interpreted the update as a reference to his years long argument with Taylor – with several people replying to the tweet to reference the Reputation singer, although others were out to defend the younger singer.

In 2016, Kanye released a track titled Famous in which he referred to the blonde singer a “b***h”.

When Taylor declared the rapper had not consulted over the word before the release of the song, she was branded a “snake” by many when Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashians, subsequently released video footage of the two singers discussing the track in advance.

The Swift immediately saw her social media feeds being bombarded with snake emojis.

She later disputed the context of the footage shared by Kim – however, she capitalised on her “snake” association in 2017 when she released her single Look What You Made Me Do which showed her with snakes in the accompanying music video.

Tensions between the pair are said to have flared in recent weeks.

Many of Kanye’s fans were expecting him to release an album titled Donda on 24 July after weeks of teasing.
