Looks like Justin Bieber is getting in on the Tay Swift/Kimye drama.

The singer posted a photo to Instagram of himself FaceTiming with Kanye.

But it wasn’t so much the picture but the caption that threw major shade at Tay-Tay.

Alongside the black and white photo, the 22-year-old wrote: “Taylor Swift what up”.

The exact meaning of the message remains somewhat cryptic, but Kanye seems super pleased, grinning from ear to ear in the snap.

We bet Taylor’s gonna be mad when she sees this.

It seems there’s a lot of people Tay has bad blood with these days.

Fans of Bieber immediately took it to mean Justin was taking sides, and rubbing his relationship with the controversial rapper in the blonde singer’s face.

“Ooh you are going to make headlines for this, boy!” one of his followers wrote.

Justin and Taylor had a falling out when she became besties with his ex, Selena Gomez.

Minutes later, the hashtag #TaylorSwiftWhatUp was trending on social media.

One user wrote: “Justin really did that, huh? #TaylorSwiftWhatUp.”

A surprising number of celebrities have been taking Kimye’s side in the drama.

The throwdown comes just after Kim Kardashian leaked a Snapchat video which purported to show Taylor allegedly approving the lyrics to Kanye’s Famous.

The Bad Blood singer had previously denied ever approving any lyrics.

It’s thought that Justin and Taylor have been on the outs with each other for a while, as Justin’s ex Selena Gomez is a high-profile member of Tay’s squad.
