[The Taylor Swift-Kanye West-Kim Kardashian West feud](http://time.com/4411055/kanye-west-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/) is still popping, thanks to [more unsolicited commentary from other famous people](http://time.com/4414858/ruby-rose-khloe-kardashian-feud/). While [most of Taylor Swift’s squad has already let their feelings be known](http://time.com/4410615/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-celebrities/) and Kim’s kamp has shown full support for their kween, an unexpected commentator has entered the fray: Fergie. [The Dutchess](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%5FDutchess) hinted during an interview on Australia’s [_Kyle and Jackie O Show_](https://twitter.com/kyleandjackieo/status/756260819684384769) that the feud might simply be a publicity stunt. “Knowing them it’s probably a big master plan,” she said. “They’ll probably all come together at the MTV Awards or something.” We should all be so lucky, Fergie. The rapper did, however, put herself squarely on Team Kim [with another comment ](https://twitter.com/kyleandjackieo/status/756260628394758144)about the reality celebutante, who was featured prominently in her racy “M.I.L.F.” video. “Kim’s so cool, you’ve gotta respect her sticking up for her husband.” Indeed. Another day, another dispatch from the front lines of the Taylor Swift – Kimye feud. ## Transcript [ SOUND ] [ MUSIC ] O- M- G you guys, well Taylor Swift is slamming renewed claims from Kanye West And Kim Kardashian- West says she approved the his lyrics to his infamous song, Famous. That that you just saw was the video for the song. And when the song first came out in February, a rep for Taylor Swift told People the singer declined to approve the lyrics referencing her in the song, saying, Taylor cautioned Kanye about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyrics, I made that B famous. Kanye's Wife Kim Kardashian West defended her husband in an interview with GQ last month saying Swift did approve the lyrics and she took that one step further on Sunday night when she posted a series of videos on snap chat allegedly showing Taylor approving the lyrics of the song. Okay dope. You still got the Nashville number? I still have the Nashville area code, but I had to change it. For all my Southside bleep that know me best I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. [ INAUDIBLE ] I know I mean it's like a compliment kind of. Yeah, I mean go with whatever line you think is better. It's obviously very tongue and cheek either way. Relationships are more important than punch lines you know? Yeah I mean, I don't think anybody would like to listen to that and be that that That's a real diss, like she must be crying. And I am really glad that you had the respect to call me and tell me that as a friend about the song. It's just like a really cool thing to do like a really good show of friendship LIke a really good friendship, so thank you. Thank you too. Sunday nights episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians had also focused on the controversy surrounding Kanye, Taylor and the song famous. After news of Kim K's snap spread wide, Swift then went to Instagram to defend herself saying Where is the video of Kanye telling me he was gong to call me that B in his song? It doesn't exist because it never happened. You don't get to control someone's emotional response to being called that B in front of the entire world. Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me but he never did, well want to be supportive of Kanye on phone call you cannot approve a song you haven't heard. [ UNKNOWN ] as a liar when I was never given th full story or played any part of the song is character assassination. I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative One that I have never asked to be a part of since 2009. She also captioned the photo, that moment when Kanye West secretly records your phone call then Kim posts it on the internet. [ LAUGH ] My gosh. Seems bffs Selena Gomez appeared to support her friend when she also posted a series of tweets Sunday night. Saying, there are more important things to talk about. Why can't people use their voice for something that, expletive matters. Truth is, last thing we need right now is hate in any form. This industry is so disappointing yet the most influential, shaking my head. Stay on people. com for all the latest on the story.
