Following a report that Taylor Swift had Kanye West "kicked out" of the Super Bowl, a rep of the rapper has refuted those claims.

Former NFL star Brandon Marshall had claimed that the rapper had upset Taylor Swift by intentionally purchasing all the seats in front of hers at Las Vegas's Allegiant Stadium. This tactical move would have enabled him to photobomb any footage of the pop star during the game's broadcast. Fans would recall that Swift has gotten headline attention every time she makes it to a game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

"'[Kanye] was trying to leverage her celebrity," Marshall remarked on "the I AM ATHLETE podcast." "[So] Taylor Swift gets p---- off. She boom, boom, makes a call or two. Everybody's involved. He gets kicked out the stadium."

While it is unclear where Marshall got his information from, West's rep said the claim was a "completely fabricated rumor," adding that "it is not true."

For the Super Bowl matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the 49ers, West attended in tow with his wife, Bianca Censori.

The rapper was captured wearing a full-face covering with a white crucifix on the front and an all-black leather outfit, while Censori was uncharacteristically covered up in a black, oversized rain jacket. She added to her attire a ski mask-like covering that shielded only her hair.

Apart from coming to the party in his typical weird fashion style, West also bought airtime to promote his Yeezy fashion line.

The ad lasted just 30 seconds and appeared to be an amateur video shot from West's phone.

"Hey y'all, this is Ye, and this is my commercial," West could be seen talking to the camera, per The Hollywood Reporter. "And since we spent all the money on the commercial spot, we actually — we didn't spend any money on the actual commercial. But the idea is I want you to go to yeezy.com…. I got some shoes and mmmm that's it."
