In the weeks leading up to the album 's release , West released several changing iterations of the track list for the new album while becoming embroiled in several Twitter controversies . In February , West posted a tweet seemingly asserting Bill Cosby 's innocence in the wake of over 50 women making allegations of sexual assault directed at Cosby and became involved in a short-lived social media altercation with rapper Wiz Khalifa on Twitter that eventually involved their mutual ex-partner , Amber Rose , who protested to West 's mention of her and Khalifa 's child . The feud involved allegations by Rose concerning her sexual relationship with West , and received significant media attention . The track " Famous " was met with scrutiny on social media for a controversial lyrical reference to American singer Taylor Swift , partially in relation to West 's interruption of her 2009 VMA acceptance speech
