Kim Kardashian slammed as a ‘snake’ by Taylor Swift fans for teaming up with pop star’s nemesis for new business venture

KIM Kardashian has just announced a major new venture, but Taylor Swift fans are slamming the business partner she chose.

The reality star revealed she has teamed up with Jay Sammons on a new private equity firm focused on investing in and building consumer and media businesses.

She named the new venture SKKY partners.

But the decision seems to put Kim squarely at odds with old nemesis Taylor, 32, who has a unique connection to Jay.

And Swifties are speaking out.

It turns out, Jay was part of the group that financially backed Scooter Braun in buying Taylor’s record label, which led to a messy fight between the Grammy winner and the talent manager, and forced Taylor to re-record many of her greatest hits.

Now, as Jay teams with Kim, Taylor’s fans are lashing out.

“Kim hooking up w/ a Scooter Braun partner, it all makes sense now,” one fan tweeted, while adding a snake emoji.

One Swiftie accused the reality star in a tweet: “Kim sinks to new levels of low to keep this feud relevant this is gross.”

“JAY SAMMONS????” another expressed. “His expertise and her fame, oh lord she’s about to unlock new levels of evil.”

The new company’s official Twitter account describes itself as a “private equity firm that focuses on both control and minority investments in high-growth, market-leading consumer and media companies.”

In unveiling the new venture, Kim welcomed Jay to the team.

“I’m pleased to announce the launch of @SKKYPartners with private equity veteran Jay Sammons as co-founder and co-managing partner,” Kim shared on Instagram. “Together we hope to leverage our complementary expertise to build the next generation Consumer & Media private equity firm.”

KIM VS. TAYLOR

The partnership will likely do little to soothe over any already established bad blood between Kim and Taylor.

The duo’s alleged feud began after Kim’s ex Kanye West famously ran up on the VMA stage in 2009 interrupting her Best Female Video win for her hit You Belong With Me.

As the stunned pop star made an emotional speech on-stage, Kanye ran up from the audience and grabbed the mic out of Taylor’s hand as she was mid-sentence.

The Yeezus rapper then fired off the iconic line: “Taylor, I’m really happy for you and I’mma let you finish… but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!”

A back and forth musical duel continued for years as both artists released songs taking jabs at each other.

Most recently, Taylor announced at the MTV Video Music Awards that she will be dropping her new album Midnights on October 21.

That date also happens to be Kim Kardashian’s birthday.

Fans on social media noticed the date immediately, with one TikToker calling Taylor an “absolute savage.”
