Kanye West will never walk alone if Teyana Taylor has anything to say about it. "I don't have to agree with everything that he do or say, but I'm not going to, like, abandon him and be like, 'Yeah, eff that motherf***er,' " Taylor, 35, said in her Vanity Fair cover story published on Tuesday, January 13. "My brothers do s*** that I don't agree with. ... I don't get into none of that." She added, "If you want a real answer, you ask me. So if he asks me something, he knows he's gonna get a real answer." Without getting into specifics, Taylor appeared to be addressing West's controversial rants on social media over the past few years. The question about where her relationship with West stands now comes after she and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, collaborated for Ryan Murphy's All's Fair late last year. Kanye West's Most Intriguing Quotes of All Time "I do my s*** behind the scenes and do what I need to do to help," Taylor continued. "I'm in my business and I drink my water." Taylor signed with West's G.O.O.D. music label in 2012, kicking off their yearslong collaboration. She famously appeared in the 2016 music video for West's song "Fade," which was released on his album The Life of Pablo that same year. After the video dropped, social media couldn't stop talking about her envy-worthy abs. However, her online fame dramatically changed things for Taylor and her career. "It got to a point where it was just like, I didn't wanna be everywhere. I'm just like, the hot Black girl: 'Oh, f***ing body's sick, she's so f***ing hot.' It's just like, thank you - but I wanna do this, this, this, that and the third," Taylor explained. "There's other things I want to do. I don't want to be stuck in that." Taylor has since made a name for herself in other realms of Hollywood. She won a Golden Globe on Sunday, January 11, for her role as Perfidia Beverly Hills in One Battle After Another. But despite her successful acting career, there is no denying that Taylor's appearance in West's "Fade" video is iconic. (Several members of the Us Weekly staff even referenced it following her win Sunday night.) "It's like, as iconic as 'Fade' was, the newer generation don't even know me from 'Fade,'" she told Vanity Fair. "Even in this acting space, a lot of people don't even know that I'm a full-blown singer. I like that." Taylor has released four albums over the years, with her most recent, Escape Room, dropping in August 2025. But as she mentioned, most people know her as an actress. What Kim and Her Family Have Said About Kanye West on 'The Kardashians' The One Battle After Another star detailed the difference in her experiences working with some of Hollywood's most notable men - including Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro and Sean Penn - in the aforementioned film. "It's always been, like, big brother energy. Like, they are not playing about me or any of the women on set," she explained. "So, that's always fun. But that energy is also so protective: 'Wait, no, no. Make sure you get her this. No, no, don't let her walk in that puddle.' It's like, I got this, big bro. Love you. Thank you." When working with Kardashian on All's Fair, however, things are different. "When you're on set with all girls, you have the group chat, and it's, like, chatty, and we're just having a ball, and it was like, 'Oh, my God, does anybody have this? Oh, my God, Kim, I need you to call over to Skims. I need a bra ASAP.' Our group chat is just so lit. And it's a sisterhood," Taylor explained. "You get to share more, whereas with your brothers, it's just like, 'Why tell my brother right now what I am going through?' They're gonna be like, 'Who did it, where they at?'"
