American rapper Kanye West rocked a packed Bowery Ballroom in New York City on Tuesday, November 23 to celebrate the launch of his new album, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’, and he took time out to talk about the Taylor Swift incident.

Speaking candidly to his fans in the audience, West said:

“Taylor never came to my defence in any interview and rode the wave, and rode it and rode it.”

“Everybody needs a villain, don’t we? We need to blame someone at all times.”
