Rapper Kanye West got a bit of victory this week over Taylor Swift, the megastar with whom he’s had a longrunning feud of sorts.
On Sunday, “VULTURES,” the album by West and Ty Dolla $ign, had pushed West to the No. 1 spot on the Daily Top Artist Global chart of the critical Spotify streaming music platform, pushing out Swift from the top position, according to the entertainment website Uproxx.
For West, it might have been a sweet victory of sorts, given what had to be embarrassing publicity surrounding reported efforts by Swift to have West kicked out of the Super Bowl, a story an associate of West has said was false.
West’s post-Super Bowl Spotify thrill didn’t last — Monday and Tuesday Swift had bumped him back to the No. 2 position.
Besides chart jockeying, there’s long been bad blood between the two music stars.
