The long-running feud between Taylor Swift and Kanye West just hit a disturbing new low—and Swift isn’t staying quiet. After Kanye West (now known by his legal name Ye) posted a patently false tweet suggesting that Swift had $3xed both Harry Styles and Justin Bieber, the global pop icon took legal action.

According to the Daily Mail , Taylor’s legal team quickly sent a cease-and-desist letter, accusing Ye of $3xing and defamation.

What did Kanye say?

On April 8, 2025, Ye posted a profane tweet that immediately drew attention: “Let me show you an example of racism. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles $3xed Taylor Swift on both sides and didn’t call me.” Yes, that’s what he said. And to make matters worse, Ye doubled down by adding: “THIS TWEET IS ONE THOUSAND PERCENT IN EVERYTHING.” Both tweets were eventually deleted—but not before screenshots flooded the internet, sparking outrage and concern.

Taylor’s legal team responded quickly
A source close to Swift told The Daily Mail that the pop star was deeply disturbed by the post. Her legal team labeled Ye’s comments “false, defamatory, and potentially $3x wrongdoing.” They were clear: this wasn’t gossip—it was intentional. “This wasn’t just Ye gossiping. This was Ye $3xing a woman, defaming her, and intending to harm her and her career.” So far, Ye has yet to issue a public apology or respond to the letter.

Harry Styles and Justin Bieber deny everything
Both men named in Ye’s tweet have spoken out through insiders to express their outrage. Justin Bieber’s team has called the allegations “completely false,” while sources close to Harry Styles have stressed that the allegations are “disrespectful and unfounded.” Harry has reportedly expressed his full support for Swift, showing solidarity amid the chaos.

Travis Kelce Furious Over Attack
Taylor’s boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, has also not taken the attack lightly. According to insiders, Kelce is furious about Ye’s tweet and is firmly in Swift’s support. While he has yet to publicly comment, his allegiance to Taylor has never been more evident.

Kim Kardashian Joins the Lawsuit
And it’s not just Taylor who’s had enough. Kanye’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian has reportedly sent him a cease and desist letter. In another tweet from the same diatribe, Ye wrote: “Told Ray J we need to hit Kim from both sides for season two of Superstar.” This crude reference to Kim’s infamous $3x tape with Ray J was the final straw. Sources say Kim found the post “unnecessary and disgusting.” She has taken legal action to have the post removed and protect her own reputation. Just weeks ago, Ye called Kim a “whore” and a “$3x dealer” in other tweets — posts she said were “shocking.”The Big Picture: Free Speech or Harassment?
The incident raises a pressing question: Where should we draw the line between free speech and defamation? Taylor Swift’s cease and desist is not only about protecting her image, but also a statement that public figures, especially women, should not have to put up with harassment disguised as opinions. With Kim Kardashian also drawing the line, it seems that women in the spotlight are no longer standing idly by while their reputations are dragged through the mud.

Taylor Swift’s actions against Kanye West send a message loud and clear: even the most powerful names in entertainment need to be held accountable. While Ye’s antics are nothing new, the vitriolic and vulgar nature of this attack crossed the line in a way that warrants a legal response.

And Taylor, once again, took the right path — using the law, not insults, to fight back.
