Kanye West and Teyana Taylor have a history marked by collaborations and music label affiliations. While West's words and actions in recent years may have strained his image in the eyes of many, Taylor does not count herself in that category.
"I’m not going to abandon him," she said in her Vanity Fair cover story released on January 13. She explained how her differences in views and opinions do not have to end in cold wars, using her relationship with her brothers as an analogy.
