Taylor Swift Collaborator Jack Antonoff Has Pointed Message for Kanye West

It's safe to say Jack Antonoff has no plans to bury the hatchet with Kanye West anytime soon.
The Bleachers frontman, a longtime collaborator and good friend of Taylor Swift's, recently shared some choice words for the Donda artist, 46, who's had Bad Blood with Swift, 34, for years now.
While appearing on the Tuesday, April 16 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Antonoff, 40, was asked about some of the female artists he helps produce music for, including the likes of Swift, Lana Del Rey, Lorde and more.
"What do you have against men?" Kimmel joked to the Grammy winner, who noted that while he does collaborate with male artists, he finds many men in general to be "very over-sensitive."
"There's two people I think are too overly sensitive to even function and it's men and members of the music industry," Antonoff explained. "The amount of sensitivity. It's sort of like watching Kanye, like, oh my god."
The "I Wanna Get Better" singer went on to explain that he prefers to handle these types of people by "trolling."
"If I saw Kanye, I'd go up to him and be like, 'Your diaper's so full! We have to change your diaper. Your diaper needs to be changed. It's a huge problem,'" Antonoff said, making the studio audience break into laughter. "The truth is, I'm not that offended. I'm offended, but I'm not that offended. So I don't like to play this character of overly offended. I prefer to sort of up the trolling."
And it's not the first time Antonoff has made a jab at West, whom he previously called a "little b—h" back in 2022. He posted a similar diss again in January of this year after West was scheduled to release his album the same day as Antonoff's band.
"kanye on bleachers release date is hilarious little cry baby b—h," he wrote at the time.
Antonoff also claimed in a February interview with the Los Angeles Times, "It's been a long time since I would've taken Kanye's call."
"I'm so incredibly bored when someone doesn't have the sauce anymore, so they go elsewhere to shock. It's just a remarkable waste of space," he said at the time.
Antonoff's distaste for the Yeezy designer likely stems from his pal Swift's longtime feud with West, which began back in 2009 when the rapper interrupted her VMA speech to say that Beyoncé deserved the award more.
Years later, things got even more contentious between Swift and West with the release of his song "Famous," in 2016, which featured controversial lyrics aimed at the "Karma" songstress, including the line, "I made that b—h famous."
Swift's backlash over the derogatory lyrics ended up causing an all-out Twitter war with West's then-wife Kim Kardashian, prompting Swift to disappear from public life for over a year.
She later made a comeback with her scathing single "Look What You Made Me Do" off her 2017 Reputation album, promising in the lyrics, "Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours."
