Kanye West Upset at Taylor Swift, Jay Z and Beyonce for Collaboration?
Kanye West is reportedly not happy with Taylor Swift potentially collaborating with his good friends Jay Z, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake.
When Swift celebrated her 25th birthday on Dec. 12, many were surprised to see Timberlake, Jay Z and Beyonce at her party together with the "Shake it Off" singer's other friends like Karlie Kloss and Selena Gomez. A source from Hollywood Life claims that the three were there not just to celebrate, but to discuss future projects that they could work on all together.
"Taylor Swift's birthday was not just a fun celebration, it was also a business meeting for her, Jay Z, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake. Name me four other people that are more powerful in the world right now. Jay Z is aware of this and wants to work with them," said the source.

Apparently, West wasn't pleased with this and is furious that Jay Z doesn't consider him to be on the "Mount Rushmore" of music.
"Kanye doesn't see things over his ego very often— if ever— and he is upset that he isn't in the club with Taylor, Jay Z, Beyonce, and JT," the source adds.
Moreover, a previous report from Star magazine claims that West is upset with Swift over a number of things.
"There's just something about Taylor that sends Kanye into a rage," said the source to Star. "He just doesn't get why she's so successful."
West allegedly "lost it" when he found out that her "Shake it Off" video attracted more than 380 million views while his "Bound 2" video only had 45 million views.
He's also reportedly upset because after he infamously crashed her acceptance speech at the 2009 VMA's, she came out "smelling like a rose," Star claimed.
It can be recalled that Swift was left speechless when, during her acceptance speech, West went onstage, grabbed the mic from her and said, "Yo, Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best video of all time." Other stars who were at the awards show were also visibly shocked at West's interruption. Later, after Beyonce got her award, she graciously gave her acceptance speech time to Swift to make up for West's outburst.
Swift and Beyonce were recently seen dancing together while attending Timberlake's concert which also featured a performance by Jay Z.
