Kanye West appears to have reignited his now-notorious feud with Taylor Swift by posting a "snake" tweet.
Now, on the off chance that you've not been following the saga as closely as others, a few years ago, Kanye and wife Kim Kardashian referred to Swift with a snake emoji after she refused to confirm or deny that she had given the rapper permission to describe her as a "bitch" in his 2016 single 'Famous'.
On Friday afternoon, the rapper tweeted a picture of a snake that was captioned: "Not gonna use a snake emoji cause you know why … I'm not sure if Christians are allowed to use snake emojis."

To reiterate her point, Kim even tweeted the emoji on National Snake Day.
Per Page Six, Kim wrote at the time: "Wait it's legit National Snake Day?!?!? They have holidays for everybody, I mean everything these days!"
However, instead of letting the incident get her down, Swift decided to embrace the snake imagery the couple had chosen to associate with her through her Reputation album era.
But she did explain that the incident had a long term effect on her years after it took place - so much so that she considered quitting her music career.
The Washington Post reports that the singer explained: "A couple of years ago, someone called me a snake on social media and it caught on."
"And then a lot of people were calling me a lot of things on social media. And I went through some really low times for a while because of it. I went through some times when I didn't know if I was going to get to do this anymore."
This comes after Kanye West has repeatedly hit the headlines in recent weeks over concerns for his mental health.
Page Six reports that the Wests are now renting out an entire 500-acre resort in the San Juan Mountains to improve their relationship after West publically said that she wanted to abort their daughter North.
