Plies has nothing but love for the ladies, but he recently asked his followers to give him a hand to understand the phenomenon that is Taylor Swift.
The South Florida native took to Instagram on Friday (September 29) to talk about the “Shake It Off” singer and her incredible rise to superstardom. But as much as he appreciated her, as a fellow musician, he couldn’t figure out how she became as big as she did in what, he says, was such a short period of time.
“I don’t want nobody in my comments mad at me, because I don’t mean it in no derogatory way,” he said in the video. “I’m trying to figure out Taylor Swift — how is the motherfucker this big? How? I ain’t never in my motherfuckin’ life!”
He continued: “Besides Michael Jackson, I mean. She got to be the motherfuckin’ Caucasian Michael! Because every motherfuckin’ child I find love them some Taylor!”
Check out his full commentary — with all the Swiftie love in the world — below.
Plies isn’t the only rapper who loves him some Taylor Swift — Ice Spice has recently revealed that she considers the pop superstar her “sis.”
The newcomer teamed up with Taylor in May for the latter’s record-breaking single “Karma.” The ladies soon performed it together when Taylor brought Ice out at one of her New Jersey tour stops, and they then sat together like besties at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
In an interview with Variety published on Thursday (September 28), Ice Spice explained how the collab even happened – and what they talked about as they giggled the night away at the VMAs.
“That’s my sis. We was talking about a bunch of things,” she said. “She’s so funny. We was sipping on a little something something. Just chatting, vibing.”
As for the collab, it happened after Ice expressed her enthusiasm about Swift’s 2020 documentary, Miss Americana, to her team.
“What I took away from Taylor’s documentary is you really do need to work hard, and not everything is going to be as easy as it seems,” she said. “And my manager heard me talking about that and had reached out to her team, and then they had a song for me.”
Taylor Swift had nothing but kind things to say in return, telling Variety:
“I relate to Ice in many ways, but I think her dedication and focus is what blew me away from the very start,” she said. “She’s extremely professional without being cold. Playful and fun without ever taking her eye off the prize. She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”
He forgot that Michael Jackson BECAME a Caucasian Woman in order to achieve success and fame. Taylor Swift is just the natural born version of that without horrible publicity.
Huh? You never heard of Jackson 5, where MU got his start, and was the star of the group? He was a little black boy, and those are still some of his most played songs to date.
Were you born stupid or are you just incredibly high? Micheal Jackson was famous when he wasn’t even 14. Swear white men say the dumbest shit to protect Taylor swift like she’s ever going to give you puss
“Why is she so popular”… while simultaneously comparing her to MJ lol. I never heard a swift song, I’m not into pop… but comparing someone to the biggest pop star in world history and asking why they’re popular is stupidity.
The caucasian Beyonce, dummy
Does she make his cock hard
She’s popular because Kanye embarrassed her on TV when she was younger. White people felt so bad they made her famous. That’s the truth
That’s is what I say too, every since that night on TV Kanye made her the person she is today
High pitched squeaky voice makes it so hard to listen. Plus he’s the first mumble rapper from 25 years ago.
Her music isn’t made for grown ass men. Unless you’re a female or a twink, you shouldn’t be concerned about Swift or her music. I couldn’t name you 1 song of hers
She’s worth 600 mill, that’s more than Beyonce. She’s doing something right.
Taylor Swift has captured the teen and senior market period. We can sing along with her and feel the nostalgia.
She’s famous because she’s been doing this for almost 3 decades and grew her fan base! Not bc of any of the bs y’all wanna throw up like Kanye
3 decades?…she looks great for 40
