Denying that he dissed Taylor Swift in his latest album 'The Life Of Pablo,' Kanye West has called the 'Shake It Off' singer a liar.

The 38-year-old rapper launched a furious tirade at the 26-year-old singer, who claimed that she knew nothing about the lyrics, in which she is being called a 'b***h'.

The rapper took to Twitter to write, "I did not diss Taylor Swift and I 've never dissed her."

He claims that he called Swift on the phone, had an hour-long conversation with her about the song 'Famous' and she found the lyrics were funny and had no problem with him releasing the track.

On the other hand, the 26-year-old singer's representative said that the rapper did not call her for the approval, instead he called to ask Swift to release his single on her Twitter account. However, she declined and cautioned him about releasing a song.

In the track 'Famous,' which also features Rihanna, West is hear rapping: 'I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. I made that b*tch famous."

West recently released the album at his own Yeezy Season 3 fashion show at New York's Madison Square Garden.
