Kanye West's new album, The Life of Pablo, will be a lot of things to a lot of people. Including Taylor Swift.

Yeezy has now resurrected one of pop culture's strangest relationships, setting the Internet on fire with a line about the pop star he infamously interrupted at the 2009 Video Music Awards.

The line, from his song "Famous," featuring Rihanna, goes like so: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / I made that bitch famous."

The pair have seemingly been on good terms since Swift introduced Kanye as the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award during the 2015 edition of the MTV VMAs.

Taylor has yet to comment -- or tweet -- about the line.

The Internet, which was listening to the live stream debut during Kanye's latest fashion show, instantly responded.

It's just more fuel for the Kanye controversy fire after the rapper's Bill Cosby tweet from Tuesday.
