AceShowbiz - In a bold assertion, Kanye West believes his ongoing feud with Taylor Swift is the reason he has never been invited to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

According to a since-deleted post on X, captured by WorldStarHipHop, the rapper cited three reasons for his exclusion: his infamous "George Bush doesn't care about Black people" comment, his public interruption of Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and his decision to wear a MAGA hat.

"I never was allowed to do the Super Bowl because of three moments. George Bush don't care about Black people. The Taylor Swift movement moment. Wearing a MAGA hat," West claimed. He added that he was "blocked from the main stage" for being ahead of his time, even before he "went full Nazi."

Since Roc Nation took on a live music partnership with the NFL in 2019, Jay-Z has been the key decision-maker for the Super Bowl halftime show. This creates a complex dynamic, especially given Jay-Z and Kanye's fallout in 2016, which escalated last month when West made derogatory comments about Jay-Z's twins.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who has Jay-Z's full blessing to perform at the halftime show, has never taken the stage due to her partnership with Coke, the rival to Pepsi (the sponsor of the Super Bowl until 2022).

Although the NFL championship is no longer sponsored by Pepsi, the pop star has no plan to headline the show anytime soon due to her current dedication to supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs.

An insider claimed, "She doesn't want to do it now until Travis is fully retired as she would like to be at the game supporting him rather than performing at it."

Kanye West and Taylor Swift's tumultuous history began at the 2009 MTV VMAs, where Kanye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech to declare that Beyonce Knowles was more deserving of the award given to Swift Because Bey had one of the best music videos of all time.

This incident set the stage for years of public back-and-forth. They had a brief reconciliation but it fell apart with the release of Kanye's controversial 2016 song "Famous," which referenced Swift in a derogatory manner. Despite Kanye claiming Swift had approved the lyrics, Swift firmly denied this, leading to a major fallout.

Taylor Swift has candidly discussed how the public shaming she experienced impacted her, describing the period as "very isolating." She channeled her pain into powerful music, with songs like "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" and "Look What You Made Me Do," which reflect her struggles during the scandal.

In contrast, West's recent years have been marred by controversial statements and actions, hurting his public image significantly.

The Super Bowl halftime show remains one of the most coveted performances for any artist, and while Kanye points fingers, the contrasting paths of his and Swift's careers highlight the complications and consequences of public feuds in the entertainment world.
