Ever wonder what it takes to be as successful as Taylor Swift? Kanye West has the answer — it’s him.

Despite the fact that T.Swift struck worldwide fame LONG before her incident with Kanye West at the 2009 VMAs, Kanye says he spawned her success as a musician into most famous artist in the world.

Talent? No. Charm? Not a chance. Album sales? Not quite. Kanye? Absolutely!

In a recent morning show interview, Kanye said:

“I feel like when Taylor was getting all those magazine covers, she was all good then. I feel completely empathetic and sympathize with that moment of her feeling bad, that spawned her to have one million magazine covers and be the most popular artist in the world, but in that moment of her feeling bad, I do feel bad about being the cause of that.”

Ah, delusion at its best.

Honestly, Kanye, it’s sorta the other way around. LET IT GO!
